Offered for the first time on the open market, this 1.82ha Lowry Bay holding presents a rare chance to secure a substantial piece of land in one of the bays’ most tightly held coastal pockets.
Held within the same family for generations and originally acquired by Sir Frances Bell in the 1800s, 208 Marine Drive carries a real sense of history, privacy, and long-term stewardship that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.
PLEASE NOTE THE DWELLING IS SOLD "AS IS WHERE IS"
Tucked away amongst established native bush and adjoining reserve, the property enjoys a peaceful, sheltered position with harbour views, strong sun, and a natural outlook that is unlikely to be built out. There is a year-round fresh water spring on the land, along with a sheltered building platform that lends itself to creating something special, whether that is a new home designed to suit the environment or a longer-term landholding.
The existing approximately 300sqm dwelling is being sold on an as-is, where-is basis, opening the door for buyers to create an extraordinary new home, retain the privacy and setting, or explore future development and subdivision potential, subject to council consents.
Beach access sits directly across the road, and the wider Lowry Bay environment offers a balance of privacy and connection that continues to draw people to the bays.
This is a standout opportunity for visionaries, land bankers, developers, and buyers seeking an exceptional site to create a landmark home in one of the bays’ most special coastal positions.
Properties of this scale, privacy, and legacy are rarely seen and even more rarely released, so contact us to arrange a private viewing.
Tender closes 12pm, Wednesday 20th May 2026 (if not sold prior).
