A Rare Bannockburn Landholding

Elevated and well positioned within Templars Hill, Lot 2 captures expansive views across the Cromwell Basin while remaining within easy reach of local amenities and a wide range of recreational opportunities. Its prized north-facing aspect enhances both its aesthetic appeal and year-round enjoyment.

Set within a thoughtfully designed and tightly held environment, this offering presents a unique opportunity to secure an 843 sq m (more or less) premium residential site. Originally conceived as a boutique enclave of four lots, each has been carefully planned to balance privacy, scale, and connection to its surroundings.

Integral to the offering is a shared interest in a 7.2 hectare (more or less) protected, non-buildable landholding, ensuring the integrity of the environment is maintained and creating a sense of space seldom found in today’s market. This considered approach sets the property apart, delivering a setting that is both private and enduring.

Lot 2 benefits from a designated building platform positioned to maximise its aspect and views, with services including town water, sewerage, and power connections available. This provides a practical, ready-to-build foundation while still allowing flexibility in design. Steeped in Central Otago’s gold mining history, the wider landholding carries a strong sense of place, enhanced by its natural surroundings and established character.

Located within easy reach of Bannockburn’s amenities, Cromwell township, and an array of outdoor pursuits, this is a position that offers both lifestyle and convenience.

A limited opportunity within the distinctive Templars Hill landholding, where outlook, scale, and long-term value have been carefully considered.

Our estimate$522,000

We start from the council's rating valuation, move it by how sales in the area have moved since against their own council values, then by how properties like this one, nearby sales have done against the same arithmetic. Each step is an average of real sales. Tested every month against sales we had not seen: half land within about 6% of our estimate, and about 8 in 10 within the range. This is an automated estimate, not a registered valuation.

Unclaimed
Nobody is tracking this property yet

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.

Free. Takes about a minute.

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.

What claiming gets you

3Providers compete for itPut the mortgage, the insurance and the power out to people who want the business — on your terms, when you ask.

Zoning and hazards

What the council's published maps say about this land. A map is a model of a storm, not a record of one: a LIM or a flood report says more.

We do not hold flood maps for Waikato District yet.

Contaminated land

Councils keep registers of land used for activities on the Hazardous Activities and Industries List (HAIL) — service stations, timber treatment, orchards, landfills. A listing records how land was used, not that it is contaminated: most sites have never been tested.

Waikato Regional Council does not publish its register. Ask it for a HAIL search on the property; some district councils sell their own report.

Ask Waikato Regional Council

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.
