Site context
What shapes the build here.
Road frontage
317 m
TARA ROAD — vehicle crossing still needs council approval
Nearest wetland
642 m
Unlikely to constrain the build
Nearest stream
6 m
A riparian setback likely shrinks the build platform — check the district plan
Nearest coast
3.1 km
Amenity at this distance, not a constraint
Nearest lake
110 m
Site aspect
Falls ≈ north-east
A north-facing fall suits passive-solar orientation
Too far away to matter: nearest powerline 363 m · nearest rail 11.2 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.
