YOUR BOOMERANG WON'T COME BACK-KIDS/GRANDKIDS WILL

The kids have grown up and moved out. Mostly. Because with a home like this, they have a habit of coming back.

Perched above Sandspit with sweeping views across Kawau Bay to Kawau Island and Great Barrier, 5 Kotare Place was built four decades ago with family in mind - and it has delivered on that ever since.

Upstairs, the main residence is generous and well thought out. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, generous living areas and a large kitchen with walk-in scullery. The kind of space that works perfectly for two, but when the family arrives for Sunday lunch the space feels entirely natural. Step outside and the deck runs the full length of the house, looking out to the incredible view.

Downstairs is where the flexibility lives. Two more bedrooms, two bathrooms, a separate lounge and private outdoor entertaining area. Open it up when the grandkids arrive, lock it up when they leave.

The glass lift connects both levels - and yes, even the lift has a view.

Outside, 7,597m² of north-facing land gives you room to breathe and then some. Get some chickens, a goat, build a barn for whatever project you have on the go, space for the grandkids to run. Your boat can sit at the marina just down the hill and on a clear day you can keep an eye on it from the house.

Immaculately maintained across three decades, this is a home that has suited every stage of family life and given its owners everything they asked of it. Now it is ready to do the same for yours.

A rating valuation is the council's figure for apportioning rates, not a market appraisal. Sale prices are as published; a code beside a price is the council's sale type — hover it for what it means. “Off the market” only means the property stopped being advertised: it may have sold, been withdrawn or moved to another agency.

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.

This property is outside the flood areas the council maps.

  • Unitary Plan Base Zone

    On this property
    Over the whole section

    District plan zones as Auckland publishes them. What a site may be used for, and what may be built on it.

  • Flood plain

    Not mapped here
    Nearest 72 m away

    Land the council models as under water in a 1-in-100-year storm, usually with an allowance for climate change.

  • Flood prone area

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    A low point where stormwater ponds if its outlet blocks or overflows.

  • Flood sensitive area

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    Land beside a flood plain that could flood if the model is out, or the storm is bigger.

  • Coastal inundation

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    Land the sea reaches in a 1-in-100-year storm tide once sea level has risen by 1 m.

  • Special character area

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    Streets whose built character is protected: demolition and new building are assessed against the area's existing form, whatever the zone allows.

  • Historic heritage place

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    A scheduled historic place. Work on it, including demolition, needs consent against the heritage schedule.

  • Height variation control

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    An explicit building height for this land, replacing the one its zone would give.

  • Volcanic viewshaft

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    A protected view of a volcanic cone. Inside it, building height is capped at a fixed level above sea level to keep the cone visible.

  • Locally significant viewshaft

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    A locally protected view of a cone, with its own height ceiling.

  • Museum viewshaft

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    The protected view of the Auckland War Memorial Museum.

  • Ridgeline protection

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    Skyline land where building height is controlled so the ridge stays a ridge.

  • Notable tree

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    A scheduled tree. It may not be felled or topped without consent, which makes it a permanent part of the skyline.

  • Notable group of trees

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    A scheduled stand of trees, protected as a group.

  • Precinct

Contaminated land

Councils keep registers of land used for activities on the Hazardous Activities and Industries List (HAIL) — service stations, timber treatment, orchards, landfills. A listing records how land was used, not that it is contaminated: most sites have never been tested.

Auckland Council does not publish its contaminated sites records. A site contamination enquiry (a fee applies) or the LIM will say what it holds.

Ask Auckland Council

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.
