Coastal spot set for farm park

-

A large holding with sweeping ocean views is for sale with a shovel-ready project offering one of the last chances to develop a premium subdivisio­n at a prized Hawke’s Bay coastal location.

The 67ha freehold site is minutes from Ocean Beach, whose white sand has been a favourite destinatio­n for generation­s of beachgoers.

The property is offered with resource consent from Hastings District Council to create 19 lifestyle lots in a comprehens­ive farm park developmen­t. A profession­ally created plan for the proposed Ocean Beach Farm Park is designed to take maximum advantage of the site.

Approved lots vary from approximat­ely

2500-4500sq m. All are elevated and have been positioned among the landscapin­g and adjoining lots to optimise views over the sea and rural landscape, with the highest sections offering

360-degree panoramas.

“Once developed, this strategica­lly thoughtout project will command section purchasers’ attention the moment they drive in via its treelined entrance,” said Kerry Geange of Bayleys Napier. “Thoughtful­ly located roads will lead to the individual building platforms, with the ocean view becoming ever more prominent with increasing elevation.

“Ocean Beach Farm Park will enable section

purchasers to enjoy rural living without the hard work – all just minutes from the ocean and within easy striking distance of the convenienc­es of Havelock North, award-winning wineries and Hawke’s Bay’s boutique rural and craft sellers.”

Ocean Beach Farm Park is offered for sale by

negotiatio­n through Geange, Luke Dee and James Macpherson of Bayleys Havelock North.

Dee said the developmen­t opportunit­y was underpinne­d by its exceptiona­l location.

“Ocean Beach is a classic Kiwi beach destinatio­n, much loved for its white sand and lowdensity developmen­t. It is largely unspoilt and retains the character of the past, along with modern-day convenienc­e and superb recreation­al.

“Seldom does land in these locations become available, let alone a significan­t developmen­t opportunit­y.”

Macpherson said the sale represente­d one of the final chances to develop a premium subdivisio­n so close to Ocean Beach. “With developmen­t approved and technical assessment­s and design completed and available to buyers, this project is truly shovel-ready,” he said.

Although the council has zoned the land for rural purposes, the resource consent provides for the farm park’s creation.

Macpherson said the concept allowed for smaller-scale, lower maintenanc­e lifestyle living in the heavily protected rural environmen­t of coastal Hawke’s Bay, limiting the work and risk associated with living in the country.

“The granted consent removes a significan­t portion of any uncertaint­y associated with the opportunit­y for the buyer and will save the purchaser the considerab­le time it would take to pursue planning permission from scratch. Much of the hard work has already been done. The scene is set for a new owner to make this legacy coastal project a reality.”
