Build-Ready native bush sanctuary

Set beneath a magnificent canopy of mature tōtara and native bush, this unique freehold, 3,308m2 section offers the rare combination of complete natural immersion and a genuinely build-ready site.

A cleared and consented building platform sits just below the forest canopy, perfectly positioned for a home that feels tucked into the trees. Closer to the road, a sunny grassed area provides the ideal space for a vegetable garden, fruit trees, and chickens—perfectly suited to country living and self-sufficiency.

Build without the delays, stress, or unknowns

All the major groundwork has already been completed, allowing the next owner to move straight toward construction:
• Fully formed, consented building platform
• Power box installed and ready to connect — ideal for a new build or a temporary tiny home
• Designated space for rainwater tanks
• Full topographical survey completed
• Comprehensive geotechnical report completed
(Both reports are required for building consent and are already done and paid for)

This preparation represents a significant saving in both time and cost, removing much of the uncertainty that often comes with building in a bush setting.

Architectural plans included (optional)

Architectural plans are available for a beautifully designed 140m² split-level home, created specifically for this site. The design includes:
• A mezzanine bedroom approximately 6 metres up, offering a true tree-top living experience
• Strong indoor-outdoor flow and thoughtful placement to maximise light, privacy, and forest views

Using these plans could save in excess of $13,000 in architectural and design fees, though buyers are also free to design their own home.

A lifestyle surrounded by nature

Beyond the building platform lies a magical expanse of native forest—perfect for:
• Winding walking paths
• Private cabins or retreats (subject to consent)
• Creating your own secluded bush sanctuary

This property is ideal for someone ready to build, seeking a peaceful country lifestyle, or for a tiny-home owner wanting a plug-in-ready section surrounded by nature.

With access, power, reports, and consents already in place, opportunities like this are increasingly hard to find.
