Bleakhouse Road, Mellons Bay, Auckland

Located in the heart of Macleans College school zone is a unique landholding, officially on the market for the first time in almost 60 years. This estate is a well-known local property as it has been enjoyed since 1965 by a local doctor and his family along with many visitors and patients, however it is now time for them to bid farewell and offer it to either an investor, land banker or developer. 

This is an amazing opportunity for someone wanting to restore the original 1930s double brick mansion to its former glory and renovate the other two existing homes on the land, alternatively demolish all and subdivide to maximise its potential under the local council rules which should allow for approximately 12 sites. Offering a complete land holding in total of 11,831sqm more or less and boasting magnificent sea views out towards the islands of the Hauraki Gulf, this property has to be one of the most exciting development sites left in our Eastern suburbs.

This waterfront property known by many as Fowey Lodge, has a wonderful history which was originally purchased by an Auckland surgeon Arthur Eisdell Moore, and to this day the property has remained in the hands of one of our local medical practitioners and his family. They have hosted many charitable works, and have enjoying and sharing this magnificent position with friends, patients, students, and visitors alike. 

As sad as it is to move on, Dr Hanne now says it is time, so this picture-perfect home and surgery has now been vacated to allow the next phase of the property’s life to unfold. The estate has two other dwellings which would need to be removed to make way for a grand subdivision, ideally a gated community of upmarket homes.  Alternatively, a prized landholding for one fortunate family if restoration is their passion, the choice is yours.
