Situated in the highly sought after Dalbeth Road location, this 24.06 hectare bare land holding offers a rare opportunity to secure a substantial block with future potential. Currently held as one title, the property comes with consent to be subdivided into two lots, allowing a purchaser the choice of retaining the whole parcel or completing the subdivision. The smaller lot, approximately three hectares, enjoys lake views and an elevated house site with access via Dalbeth Road. A metal road is already formed to the proposed building platform. The contour rises from the road to a steeper sidling before flattening at the top, ensuring privacy and outlook, with lake views. The larger lot, approximately twenty one hectares, also benefits from a formed metal road and elevated house site with lake views. Most of this block has been replanted in second rotation pine trees, now around three and a half years old, while a nearby gully has been planted in natives of a similar age. This blend of reforestation and potential home site creates both a lifestyle and long term investment opportunity. A property of this scale and versatility in such a premium lifestyle location is seldom available. Whether held as one substantial block, or developed into two, the options here are as attractive as the outlook. Boundary lines indicative only
