From the listing agent
In the words of Minda Ross, Ray White - Whangarei
Set back from Apotu Road along Don Meara Lane, these three lifestyle sections offer a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the space, privacy and rural character that make Apotu Road such a popular place to live. Positioned towards the rear of the subdivision, each section enjoys a peaceful setting, well away from the road, with flat contours and level building areas to make planning your new home that much easier.
This amazing location offers a desirable balance of country living and convenience. Kaurihohore School is within walking distance, Kamo Village and everyday amenities just a short drive away. Whether you are planning a family home, a property with room for gardens and outdoor pursuits, or a more secluded retreat, each lot has its own appeal and plenty of potential to create something special.
LOT 3 - 1.2165 ha - (39 Don Meara Lane)
Positioned furthest to the left, Lot 3 enjoys a lovely native bush backdrop, providing a natural sense of privacy and an attractive setting for your future home. Tucked behind Lot 4 and well away from the road, the section offers a flat contour around the entrance and building area, with scope to create a home and outdoor spaces that complement the surrounding landscape.
Beyond the level ground, the land slopes down through established native bush to a stream below, adding another dimension to the property and creating opportunities for those who enjoy gardening and spending time outdoors. With the bush as a natural backdrop and room to further enhance the grounds, this is an appealing option for anyone wanting space, privacy and a connection with nature.
LOT 4 - 4,053 sqm - (43 Don Meara Lane)
Enjoying lovely rural views, Lot 4 offers a sunny, peaceful setting for those wanting the benefits of country living without the upkeep of a larger lifestyle block.
The flat contour and level building site make planning your new home straightforward, with plenty of scope to create attractive gardens, outdoor entertaining areas and space to enjoy the outlook. A great opportunity to build in a popular Kauri location, with a rural feel and everyday amenities within easy reach.
LOT 5 - 3.5430 ha - (48 Don Meara Lane)
For those wanting extra space and flexibility, Lot 5 offers an exciting opportunity to create a lifestyle property with two potential building sites, each offering its own possibilities. The main building site sits towards the top of the land, where the beautiful rural outlook and generous area of level ground provide an appealing setting for a substantial family home.
A well-formed path winds through the large native bush to a second clearing, tucked away from the main building area. This secluded spot could be ideal for those considering an off-grid private retreat, accommodation for extended family, or simply a place to escape, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings, the second site offers an opportunity to explore something a little different. The stream running at the bottom of the section will provide additional enjoyment for children to explore.
With 3.5430 hectares to work with, Lot 5 provides room to enjoy the outdoors, develop gardens and make the most of the natural setting, all while being conveniently positioned in sought-after Kauri.
