Three adjoining seaside properties in Takapuna with a combined CV of more than $13 million are for sale but could be bowled to make way for high-end apartments.
The parcel of land containing 7, 7a and 9 Audrey Rd is set beside Thorne Bay, looking out towards Rangitoto Island.
The entire site measuring 2608m2 features three houses, including a five-bedroom family home, a "character" weatherboard house and two brick and tile units.

The three properties are owned by Linda and John Buchanan of Buchanan Chartered Accountants and are being offered up individually or as a package deal.
Premium real estate agent Lewis Guy, who is marketing the properties, said the plot was valued at $13.2m in terms of capital value.
Concept plans for the site were available by Brent Hulena. Potential buyers had expressed interest in developing the site into high-end townhouses, he said.

Interest to purchase the "golden coastal opportunity" was high for punters either looking to buy it all or just one property, Guy said.

If bought as a package the land could host eight bespoke freestanding homes or operate as terraced houses or apartments, he said.
The house on 9 Audrey Rd was last valued in 2017 at $6.1m, while 7 Audrey Rd was valued at $2.95m and 7a at $4.15m.
"It is a unique offering, there won't be many other places to buy something of that volume or create a development.

"It's across the road from the beach and right between Takapuna and the Milford shopping centre."
OneRoof editor Owen Vaughan said median prices for four-bedroom-plus homes in Takapuna had dipped from $3.11 million to $2.7 million in the past year.
While median house prices had fallen, the "underlying value of this particular property is its development potential and its [seaside] location".

"There has been a spike in apartment development in Takapuna, hand in hand with the regeneration of Takapuna's commercial and retail centre. I expect developer interest to be high."
