1.7 ha Land available in Howick Central
This expansive 17471m² parcel of vacant land occupies a strategic position within central Howick, offering both accessibility and visibility. The property''s size and location present a range of possibilities for future development, subject to the necessary approvals.
Currently zoned residential, the property may offer rezoning potential for alternative uses, providing investors and developers with the opportunity to explore various residential, mixed-use or commercial development options.
Adding further value to the site is an existing cottage-style dwelling that was originally used as stables and has since been converted into comfortable accommodation. The rustic structure features a simple train-style layout comprising a bedroom, lounge, kitchen and bathroom. While the cottage provides immediate utility for accommodation, storage, site management or rental purposes, the primary value of this property remains the significant development potential offered by the land itself.
