Expansive views, high quality grazing and your own duck pond – this 7.36-hectare block in Ōtūmahi Lane is the epitome of lifestyle.

One of five blocks in a newly developed high-end subdivision, it enjoys elevated views across the surrounding countryside, including Mt Putauaki, the Manawahe hills in the west and forestry to the east.

With a  large flat building platform already established at one of the highest points of the block, buyers will be able to design a home and garden that takes advantage of these far-reaching views and those closer to home.

The outlook over the property to the west includes a picturesque duck pond with a stand of gum trees to the rear. Planted in 1984, the mature saligna (red gum) will provide an ongoing supply of winter firewood and millable timber for the new owners.

Each of the blocks in this hill country subdivision situated off Paul Road is unique with this one, Lot 3, possibly the pick of the bunch with its diversity and potential lifestyle and recreation opportunities.

Standing atop the building platform, taking in the vista, it is easy to visualise the possibilities this site presents.

With covenants in place to protect your views, privacy and maintain the quality of the subdivision, buyers can feel confident that the time and money they invest in this block will be well spent.

The covenants are sensible rather than restrictive, relating to building footprint,
build materials, location of water tanks, future alterations, build completion times,
accessory buildings, and various other relevant aspects.

The developer’s goal being to preserve the integrity of this stunning place well into the future, while ensuring it is a wonderful place to live.

For duck hunters, the pond on this lot will likely be a major drawcard, especially with a mai-mai already in place. Nature and bird lovers will also enjoy its amenity value. Design your new home well and you may be able to look down on the pond from your lounge or outdoor entertaining area, or wake up to perfectly framed views of Mt Putauaki from your bedroom.

Power cables and water lines are installed to the site ready for construction and Ōtūmahi Lane, although metal at the moment, will be tarsealed.

Whether you’re envisioning a family lifestyle property, a weekend retreat, or a shared investment between duckshooting friends, this property ticks the boxes for location, potential, and lifestyle. It’s just 20 kilometres to Whakatāne and an easy drive to Rotorua and Tauranga.
