Waiwera coastal developmen­t block

-

A substantia­l 64- hectare block of land with plans for the creation of up to 55 lifestyle block sections has been placed on the market for sale.

The headland block at 913 Hibiscus Coast Highway near Waiwera just north of Auckland i s opposite the waterfront Waiwera Hill Scenic Reserve, and just over the hill from the Waiwera thermal pools.

The hillside block at 913 Hibiscus Coast Highway is being marketed for sale by tender through Bayleys Real Estate, with tenders closing on December 13.

Salesman John Greenwood says the location has expansive views over the outer Hauraki Gulf and i s cur- rently used as a livestock grazing block.

He says initial engineerin­g and site lay- out plans had been drawn up, which would see three entry points off the arterial route, and a network of new roads built to service potential properties in the enclave.

“The plans are indicative, and resource consent has not yet been applied for, so there is scope to look at other section configurat­ions and density options,” he says.

“As an indication of end- use land values, an adjacent property was given Auckland Council approval earlier this year for the subdivisio­n of 1- hectare lifestyle blocks which had been selling for more than $ 1m.

“There rolling contour means there is a landscape of building sites and vistas.”

Greenwood says with the opening of the Silverdale to Puhoi motorwy toll route in 2009, traffic volumes have eased considerab­ly on the Hibiscus Coast Highway — making the road a lot quieter and ‘ friendlier’ for those living off it.

“This new developmen­t site i s some 4km north of Orewa, and when developed, will become the new lifestyle location for those wanting to move out of a suburb which has been sliced up into standard- sized sections into Auckland’s outer- suburbia,”
