Nest With The Herons
Some homes offer four walls and a roof. Others offer a way of life.
Welcome to Heron's Nest, a beautifully renovated coastal retreat where birdsong replaces traffic noise, native bush surrounds you in complete privacy, and every day feels a little slower, a little simpler, and a whole lot more peaceful.
Set on a generous 941sqm freehold section, this charming 1970s home has been thoughtfully refreshed with new carpet and a brand-new Coloursteel roof, allowing you to move in and simply enjoy the lifestyle.
From the street, the classic white picket fence immediately sets the tone. It's the quintessential Kiwi seaside cottage , inviting, welcoming, and full of charm.
Step inside and you'll find a home filled with natural light. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area forms the heart of the home, where sunshine streams through the windows and a cosy wood burner creates the perfect place to gather during the cooler months.
Multiple outdoor living spaces allow you to follow the sun throughout the day. Enjoy breakfast on the covered deck, entertain friends in the afternoon, or simply relax amongst the trees as native birds provide the soundtrack to your evening.
The master bedroom is its own peaceful sanctuary, opening directly onto a private deck overlooking the surrounding bush.
Wake each morning to the gentle calls of the resident herons that have inspired this home's name, along with an abundance of native birdlife.
Come and experience the peace, the privacy, and the magic of Heron's Nest for yourself. We'd love to welcome you.
We estimate it would sell for $524,000 as at 5 October 2026, in a range of $471,000 to $596,000.
How we worked this out
| Council valuation, May 2024 | $530,000 |
|---|---|
| Market movement in Auckland since the council valuation | −4.8% |
| Apartments and houses in Auckland | +0.1% |
| How Ōrere Point sells against council values | +1.0% |
| Homes of this age in Ōrere Point | +0.6% |
| Homes in this price range | +0.5% |
| Land as a share of the value | +0.6% |
| Nearby recent sales (11) | +2.2% |
| Its own sale in 2024 | −1.0% |
| Our estimate | $524,000 |
We start from the council's rating valuation, move it by how sales in the area have moved since against their own council values, then by how properties like this one, nearby sales and its own last sale have done against the same arithmetic. Each step is an average of real sales. Tested every month against sales we had not seen: half land within about 6% of our estimate, and about 8 in 10 within the range. This is an automated estimate, not a registered valuation.

Another agency selling this property too, or is it for rent? Import that listing and it shows beside this one.
Building consents
We hold no building consents for this property yet. The council may hold records we have not seen.
If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.
We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.
Zoning and hazards
What the council's published maps say about this land. A map is a model of a storm, not a record of one: a LIM or a flood report says more.
Reading the council's maps…
What could you build here?
See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
