244 Durham Drive is one of those sites where it is easy to picture what could come next.
A generous flat building platform sits within an approximately 8,367m2 site, framed by established trees, a sheltered dell and views towards Te Mata Peak. There is room here for a substantial home, pool, gardens and plenty of open space, without losing the sense of privacy that makes this part of Durham Drive so appealing.
Our clients have already taken that vision further, developing plans for an architectural home designed specifically for the site. The accompanying renders show how naturally it could sit here: pitched forms against the landscape, living spaces opening towards the sun and pool, and Te Mata Peak becoming part of the view from home.
The working drawings (including plans, elevations, topographical surveys and 3D model) are available to the purchaser, giving the next owner the choice of continuing with an idea already well advanced or creating something entirely their own.
Just as importantly, you are not starting with a bare piece of land.
Electricity and town water are available, the building platform is already in place, and the established planting gives the site a maturity that can take years to achieve. Sensible covenants help protect the standard of the surrounding development.
An easement from the property provides pedestrian access to Te Mata Peak Road, putting the walking and mountain bike trails of Te Mata Peak within easy reach. An early walk before work, a ride from home, or an evening climb as the days stretch longer can all become part of living here.
For families, there is the balance of space and convenience that is increasingly hard to find. Te Mata School zoning, Havelock North village only minutes away, and enough land for children, pets, gardens and a pool if that is part of your plan.
Other architecturally designed homes are already being established within the subdivision, creating a small community while still retaining the privacy and breathing room people come to Durham Drive for.
The appeal of 244 Durham Drive is simple. You can build something new without beginning from scratch.
The outlook is here. The trees are here. The connection to Te Mata Peak is here.
What comes next is up to you.
