Space, solar & subdivision potential
Craving a little more space without sacrificing the convenience of town living? Why choose between lifestyle and location when you can have both. Set on 3,895sqm (more or less) of picturesque grounds with stunning views, this impressive property delivers the country feel you've been dreaming of, while being just minutes from town and mere metres from local schooling. The home itself is a winner, boasting stylish modern decor, a contemporary kitchen and bathroom, and four bedrooms with plenty of room for the whole family. The living area opens seamlessly onto a generous wrap-around deck, the perfect spot for entertaining, Sunday brunches or simply pretending you're on holiday while soaking up the spectacular outlook. Just when you think it couldn't offer any more, it does. Outside you'll find a large double garage complete with a semi self-contained unit, ideal for extended family, guests, working from home, or creating an additional income stream. There's also an additional utility shed providing extra storage or workshop space, while solar power helps keep those power bills a little friendlier. With potential to subdivide (subject to council approval), this is a property that offers not only an incredible lifestyle but exciting possibilities for the future as well. Lifestyle properties with this much flexibility, functionality and future potential don't come along every day. Blink and you'll be scrolling past the sold sticker.

Building consents
We hold no building consents for this property yet. The council may hold records we have not seen.
If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.
We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.
Zoning and hazards

What could you build here?
See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
