An exciting opportunity has become available to develop this 37.4 ha property subject to survey and title. A scheme plan application is about to go to the Council for a ten lot subdivision on the terrace overlooking Cust. Our vendors are selling lots 2 - 10 only. Once approved and titled it will allow five to eight years to complete the development, or you could take advantage of the unprecedented demand for lifestyle properties at the moment and sell the blocks prior to title. The soil is described as Claremont or Mairaki moderately deep silt loam which can be very good for grass growth and tree establishment. Just 15 km from Rangiora and very close to Cust, it is a popular area for lifestyle blocks. Cust has a well regarded, decile 10 school and preschool, as well as a cafe, restaurant, hotel, numerous shops and a friendly community. For short Deadline Treaty finishing Wednesday 7th April at 4.00pm.

This attractive block is close to Oxford and has an Eyre River boundary. The soils are free draining and described as Eyre Shallow Silt with possibly some Templeton Silt Loam, so ideal for horses. The driveway is recently chip sealed with timber railing fences along the driveway. There is a three phase power supply to the south-east corner of the block, close to the ideal building site, and two units of Oxford rural water is supplied to a tank on the property. Much of the topsoil from the driveway formation has been left on this lot, near a gully, which provides options for landscaping, or filling in part of the gully. Trees on the neighbours and across the road provide some protection from the Norwesters. The Oxford area has a variety of popular walks, as well as hunting and fishing and it is within 90km of four ski-fields or the North Canterbury vineyards. If golf is your thing, the outstanding 18 hole Waimakariri Gorge Golf Course is just 10 kilometres away and would have to be one of the best and friendliest country clubs. Just 2 minutes to the vibrant town of Oxford with its supermarket, wine bar, cafes, medical centre and a range of shops and services, and a school bus to Oxford Area School passes the gate. The commute to Rangiora is just 25 minutes on very good sealed roads and the International Airport is approximately 45 minutes away. Title will be issued soon. Contact the agent for a viewing.
