The Landing - Sales update May 22

It has been such a great Autumn, with two series of long weekends and the school holidays making ample opportunity for visits to Rangitahi. Sam has enjoyed showing potential Rangitahi residents these amazing new sites that we released at the end of March.In only a few short weeks, we have already had a lot of interest in these lots, with three under contract and eight under enquiry.

But fear not – there are still plenty more to view and make your next move.

The Landing is focused towards the public reserve at the base of the sheltered basin and takes its name from the historic homestead and stone wharf that once fronted Opotoru Creek. The reserve will be where many memories are made, with a large flat picnic area and easy access to the water. You will be able to pull your kayak or paddle board into the harbour and explore the waterways at any time of the year. And come summer, this will make an excellent high tide swimming spot for the whole family to enjoy.

We welcome you to come and have a private tour of this area, and Sam will be able to take you onto the available sites so you can get a feel for the size and the outlook. There is a selection of flat and sloped sections available, with the sloped offering more views and the flat offering a more straightforward building platform.
