577 Back Ormond Road Makauri, Gisborne District

Forget the previous price. The owners are serious about selling.

Acton Estate is returning to the market with one very clear message: the owners are ready to sell and want to hear what the market has to say.

Forget previous price indications and any preconceived ideas around value. 577 Back Ormond Road will go to auction on Friday, 13 November 2026.

From the moment you enter the gates, Acton Estate transports you to another time. Set amongst magnificent established gardens, specimen trees, heirloom orchard plantings and sweeping lawns, this remarkable property offers complete privacy while remaining easily accessible to Gisborne.

At its heart is an ornately detailed residence of approximately 740sqm, offering 10 bedrooms, a grand dining hall, billiards room, formal lounge, office and commercial-standard kitchen. The estate also includes a separate cottage, tennis court, golf course and substantial barn and stables across approximately 8.52 hectares of Rural Residential zoned land which makes it ideal for subdivision.

Originally created as a private residence, Acton has also operated as a hotel, bed and breakfast, company guest house and wedding and event venue throughout its long history.

This campaign is about what happens next.

The owners have chosen auction because they are genuinely motivated to sell. If you have admired Acton, considered its potential or wondered whether it could be within reach, now is the time to take another look.

Come and see it. Form your own opinion of value. The owners are serious about getting it sold.
