RISING TO THE OCCASION
Waikopua, at 1 Maea Rise, is in the process of becoming home to one of the most extraordinary communities in East Auckland, with the recent launch of an exclusive development by Empire Management.
Consisting of 11 sites, with a total land area of 7967sqm, Waikopua offers potential buyers the chance to create their own dream home, in association with experienced builders and urban guidelines design architects.
The finished properties will enjoy spectacular views across Auckland to the Hauraki Gulf and mighty Rangitoto and the level of luxury on offer will please the most discerning purchasers, attracted by the promise of a high life with features including a heli-pad, swimming pool, tennis court, horse float parking, and there’s plenty of room for a boat or a campervan as well.
Situated just 35 minutes drive, or a relaxing ferry ride, taking about the same length of time to downtown Auckland, from nearby Pine Harbour Marina, Waikopua is right in the heartland of Auckland’s semi-rural surroundings. It’s perfectly positioned for attractions such as golf, fishing, walking, mountain biking and horse trekking and nearby
Clevedon with its famous Sunday market, as well as Beachlands, provide shopping, drinking and dining.
Waikopua’s ‘five-star’ homes will make every day feel like a holiday and professional landscaping is underway. In addition to your own unique garden, an on-site native forest rings to the sound of beautiful birdsong, from dawn until dusk.
It currently has a onekilometre walkway, to a kauri grove, with possibilities for residents to make the path longer, sometime in the future.
Grant Dickson, licensee agent and director at Ray White Projects and Ray White Marine, says that feedback on the plans for Waikopua has been overwhelmingly positive.
“Clearly the views are amazing, and the section sizes give buyers lots of scope as some are up to a hectare. It has the added bonus of being a gated community for comfort and security, and in this day and age it’s hard to find something so attractive – especially as it’s already underway.”
Dickson says that the concrete driveway has been poured and two homes have been completed so far, giving potential purchasers something tangible to see and experience.
“There are some design controls to ensure quality and consistency, but, overall, this is still an outstanding opportunity to put together the home you’ve always wanted, and you’ll have the best of both worlds – rural and coastal.”
Steve Mason of Empire Management, who are developing Waikopua shares Dickson’s enthusiasm.
“This project has been on the go for about five years now, as council were quite tough about protecting the native bush and the ridge line but we are very proud of what we’ve achieved and even managed to keep costs down when they normally only go up!”
He says that watching Beachlands steadily growing, underlined his belief that Waikopua is in a great location.
“You’re essentially at the centre of everything.”
