Serious Offers Wanted - Exceptional Value

Serious Offers Wanted, Exceptional Value.

Positioned in one of Takapuna’s most exclusive coastal streets, 2 Minnehaha Avenue offers an exceptional combination of location, land, size and flexibility. With Thorne Bay at the end of the street and Lake Pupuke directly across the road, this is a location where properties are tightly held and opportunities to buy are limited.

Importantly, the current price point represents a comparatively low entry level for a property of this size in such a premium position. Our vendors are serious about achieving a sale and are calling for all genuine offers to be presented.
