Offering an increasingly rare combination of productive land, lifestyle appeal and recognised horticultural potential, this outstanding rural property presents a unique opportunity for developers, investors, lifestyle purchasers and equestrian enthusiasts alike. Already inspected by experienced kiwifruit developers, the property has been identified as displaying many of the key characteristics sought for future orchard development. As with all higher-altitude orchard sites, purchasers should expect frost protection and irrigation infrastructure to form part of any future development programme. These are well-understood considerations for elevated orchard developments and should be weighed alongside the property's many natural advantages. Positioned approximately 165–180 metres above sea level within a sheltered valley system, the property's elevation offers more than simply spectacular rural views. The cooler microclimate and later chill accumulation have the potential to support later fruit maturity and favourable storage characteristics, potentially aligning with late-season marketing opportunities and storage bonus programmes. The land itself provides an exceptional development platform, featuring: - Predominantly flat to gently rolling contour. - Free-draining soils with minimal earthworks likely required. - Existing artesian bore approximately 70 metres deep, providing an economical water source for future irrigation. - Existing farm infrastructure including shedding, yards and supporting improvements. - Excellent access and an efficient layout suitable for a variety of rural, horticultural or lifestyle pursuits. Equally, the property is perfectly suited to remain as an outstanding lifestyle holding. The combination of flat, free-draining pasture and quality infrastructure creates an ideal environment for grazing livestock, horses or establishing an equestrian facility. Whether your vision is a boutique farm, equine property or simply a spacious country lifestyle with room for the family, this property offers the scale and versatility to make it a reality. Adding further appeal is the potential (subject to council approval) to subdivide the existing dwelling and surrounding land from the balance of the property. This presents an attractive opportunity for future horticultural developers to reduce their initial capital investment while simultaneously creating a highly desirable lifestyle property. The residence itself is exceptionally well maintained and thoughtfully designed for both family living and guest accommodation. The home is arranged across two separate accommodation wings, connected by a light-filled central conservatory. One wing is dedicated to the generous master suite, complete with its own ensuite, creating a peaceful and private retreat. Across the conservatory, the second wing comprises two additional bedrooms serviced by a well-appointed Jack-and-Jill bathroom, offering an ideal layout for family members or visiting guests. Surrounded by established grounds and complemented by excellent shedding and supporting infrastructure, the home is ready to enjoy immediately while offering exciting long-term potential. Properties offering this combination of predominantly flat contour, free-draining soils, existing bore water, quality improvements and recognised horticultural potential are becoming increasingly difficult to secure. Whether your vision is to establish a future kiwifruit orchard, create a premium equestrian property, enjoy an exceptional country lifestyle or secure a strategic landholding for the future, this is an opportunity deserving of serious consideration. A versatile rural asset offering lifestyle enjoyment today and exciting possibilities for tomorrow. Contact us today to arrange your private inspection.

All the while, the Remarkables, Crown Range, and Coronet Peak sit quietly around you, waiting for your adventurous side to come out and play. 42 Central Park Avenue sits within this setting, positioned on a 4,000sqm lifestyle lot in one of the basin’s most tightly held pockets. The four-bedroom home is a single-level pavilion designed by architect M J Wyatt, originally completed in 1998. Under the current owners, it has just undergone a comprehensive 2025-2026 refit, with close to a million dollars invested. Highlights include a bespoke Formatt kitchen in warm charcoal timber with Corian benchtops, entirely new bathrooms, Haro engineered oak flooring through the living wing, and 60oz Feltex wool carpet in the bedrooms. A multi-zone Daikin VRV ducted heat pump system has been added, while the original fireplace remains for atmosphere. Outside, the northern park-like garden has been opened up around a new 10m x 4m sprayed concrete pool, finished with glass and steel fencing, striking sandstone paving, and new planting that integrates with established trees and the existing fruit orchard. A height covenant on the southern boundary protects the outlook to the lake and the Remarkables beyond. Lake Hayes is increasingly recognised as an address that holds its value. Property changes hands slowly here; the lake and loop track are a central part of daily life, and this private cul-de-sac lane means traffic is non-existent. With Arrowtown just six minutes away, Queenstown Airport 10-15, and the CBD not much further, this is a setting that rarely comes to market, with a stylishly renovated home ready for part or full-time living.

An on-trend architectural showpiece from the pen of renowned architect Brendon Gordon and built to the highest of standards by well-regarded Gudsell Builders, this home takes full advantage of the uncommon, central, elevated waterfront opportunity the site provided. Luxuriously envisaged for the ultimate couples' experience, whether full-time or lock-up-and-leave, this residence offers a true pedestrian city lifestyle and the utter convenience and prestige of the most central of positions. Savvy buyers will appreciate the proven long-term value of real estate of this nature and its scarcity in the marketplace. Consider the exceptional value and features on offer here when compared to central apartments, with none of the disadvantages associated with shared garaging, common spaces, or Body Corporates. A true vanguard of design and city living.

As one of the area's originals, and at one time the residence of an orchard, Elmdene occupies over a quarter acre of prime flat land on Otūmoetai’s ever desirable Hinewa Road. A northerly aspect and peeps of the harbour and Mauao are offered from this elevated ridgeline position above the popular Cherrywood shops. Equal parts charming and elegant, Elmdene has been lovingly and sympathetically improved over its lifetime and now represents a home of modern convenience with uncommon authenticity inside and out. With separate dining, lounge, study, office, 5 bedrooms including a separate guest suite, and a standalone studio, there is ample scope here for families and work from home or income options. With a detailed building inspection report confirming she has proudly taken the test of time in her stride, this remarkable property is ready to offer a truly special embrace to those looking to feed the soul in a way only a character home can.

An elevated central lifestyle location, Mana Ridge sits atop the desirable homes of Riverstone Drive. It features just 13 large-lot residences of quality in a beautifully conceived greenbelt enclave, boasting some of the best elevated city, port, harbour, Mauao, and coastal views in the Bay of Plenty. Uniquely constructed from modern eco-friendly Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks, the build offers superior durability, high thermal efficiency, and fire resistance. Along with concrete intermediate floors and the latest in quality European joinery, it provides the ultimate modern home envelope that must be experienced to be fully appreciated. A change in the vendor's plans presents an opportunity to secure this brand-new, high-quality home, designed around the environment and views, with scope to add your own landscaping preferences. While this home will certainly accommodate a family, we suggest it’s beyond compare for a couple wanting a life enhanced by day and night views, seeking luxurious, easy living with the practicality of extra accommodation, storage, garaging, and the option for a lift.

An exclusive, original quarter-acre site on Grace Road, a well-known, wide, leafy street in the city’s mid-Avenues. Convenience and community are truly taken for granted here, the harbour’s edge, major schooling, parks, and the CBD just moments away. Traffic noise gives way to bird song amidst the decades-old roadside planting and greenery of the neighbourhood. Secluded by elevation and extensive planting, this character home has previously received a major renovation with architect Brendon Gordon, transforming the main living portion of the home into a timeless oasis, artfully blending an indoor-outdoor lifestyle for tropical resort-style living.  An uncommon opportunity to secure a centrally located property of both privacy and presence.  A house with heart and a section with scale, offering gracious living and considerable potential to the next family lucky enough to call it home.

This little-known and rarely exchanged lifestyle enclave was conceived as part of a boutique golfing estate and provides for the most stunning of Bay of Plenty coastline and rural views. Enviable levels of peace and privacy are found just moments from the beach and the leading shopping, dining and recreational amenities of the Mount and Papamoa. Owned by its designer, the home is an intriguing design across a tiered site, ensuring commanding views from the majority of the floor plan. On-trend architectural and designer details create amongst the most stylish and functional of family lifestyle packages. Of significant appeal for golfers will be the golf course access with no green fees for Summerhill’s few privileged residential owners. For those less interested in playing the course, it provides a delightful green space for walking or running. This property represents a rare and “pure shot” at lifestyle living.
