30 Ruru Avenue, St Leonards, Dunedin City

An outstanding opportunity to secure an approx 9300sqm parcel in the heart of St Leonards, positioned along sought-after Ruru Avenue. Predominantly planted in established native bush, the site offers a peaceful and private setting, alive with native birdlife and natural beauty.

The land ranges in topography, with several naturally flat areas allowing flexibility in design, outlook, and orientation for any future construction. Selective felling has the potential to enhance harbour views, while the established bush provides shelter, seclusion, and a strong sense of tranquility. A gentle stream meanders through part of the property, further contributing to the serene environment.

Despite its private bush setting, the property remains exceptionally well located — approximately 15 minutes from Dunedin’s CBD and just 10 minutes from Port Chalmers, offering everyday conveniences, boutique retail, and harbourside hospitality.

Owned by our vendors for the last 50 years, this is a rare opportunity to create a bespoke home (subject to appropriate council consents) within a native sanctuary, combining privacy, natural surroundings, and convenient city access.
