Road frontage
0 m
No mapped frontage — check for a registered access easement (see the title above)
Nearest stream

Unlikely to constrain the build
Nearest coast

Amenity at this distance, not a constraint
Site aspect
Falls ≈ north
A north-facing fall suits passive-solar orientation
Too far away to matter: nearest powerline 883 m · nearest lake 2.1 km · nearest rail 14.7 km.
Distances are from the parcel centroid to Topo 1:50k features (LINZ); site aspect is approximate, from the 1m LiDAR contours. Road frontage is a proxy — centreline intersection with parcel boundary, not a legal access measure. Confirm setbacks with a district-plan check before purchase.
