Welcome to 3rd Fairway – a boutique, limited edition collection of 31 sites adjacent to the North Shore Golf Club in Albany. A truly unique offering, the sites are bordered by native bush, Lucas Creek and the golf course, creating a very special, picturesque and convenient location. Ranging in size from 550m2 right through to 2200m2, there is a perfect canvas to accommodate any kind of design requirements.

As well as passionate golfers, the location will appeal to those at all stages of life, as it’s close to the North Shore’s best shopping area and educational facilities. The private driveway of 3rd Fairway is accessed from the end of Laurel Oak Drive, in the prestigious and sought-after Oaks enclave. It’s zoned for Upper Harbour Primary School Albany Junior and Senior High Schools, which are all decile 10. Private Kristin and Pinehurst are also both within easy walking distance, along with Massey University. Westfield Albany offers a large range of shopping and restaurants and Event cinemas, plus the QBE Stadium and Albany Tennis Park for sport enthusiasts. Access to the Auckland Motorway is only a few minutes away with on-ramps to the north and south. The Albany Park and Ride facility is also a highly convenient option for commuters.

The gated community’s name came to be when the developer cut through the original third fairway when plotting out the sections, which was only done on the proviso that they built a new third fairway for the club. Environmental consideration was front of mind with the preparation and creation of the sites, with 12,000 natives planted and pathways created to enhance and blend in with the already magnificent surroundings. There’s a picnic area and a stream meandering through the bush and landscape design in place.

3rd Fairway has been created in three zones. There are the sites that literally border the golf course, then a group in the middle that will appeal to those looking to create a secure, lock-up-and-leave property in a premium location, while the remainder back onto the bush and are much larger, ranging from 1100-2200m2 – these are of Greenhithe proportions that would suit families.

Purchasers have the freedom to create their own bespoke dream home, with covenants in place to protect the quality and overall aesthetic of the building. Should the new landowner wish, a renowned architect will be available to draw up tailored plans, maximising the outlook, positioning, light and sun of selected sites.

3rd Fairway’s planned development presents an extremely unique prospect on the North Shore. It presents an incredible location and infinite potential to create a brand new, custom-built dream home in Albany.
