Nestled in the Mareakakaho district alongside the Ngaruroro river lies these unique new sections, an opportunity for you to secure your own private piece of kiwi paradise! Enjoy the tranquility of living in this amazing location with views to the river valley and the spectacular back drop of the Kaweka ranges. On private roads, these Paritu sections (ranging in size from 3095sqm - 5829sqm) have been well developed to ensure that you can enjoy the peaceful rural environment to its fullest. Ten families already make up the friendly and respectful community that is Paritu, with residents ranging from retired grand-parents to first homeowners looking to start a family in a safe and peaceful rural environment. Paritu, meaning steep face, refers to the cliff that Paritu sits upon above the Ngaruroro river. Paritu was originally part of well-known Olrig Station. A third generation family farm that has been in the family since 1926. Purchased as part of the soldier-settler scheme post WW1, Paritu has been tended by the Foreman family for nearly 100 years and James and Amelia are proud to call it home. The private roads, Paritu Road and Riverview Lane are managed by a joint committee of residents who pay a monthly fee to an independent fund for road and landscaping management. As well as being surrounded by remarkable horticultural and agricultural landscapes, there is an allocated green space on Paritu that not only provides a buffer space for privacy, but by negotiation has potential to become a community garden or a grazing paddock for a horse. The nearest primary school, Maraekakaho is approximately ten minutes away with a bus stop collecting and dropping school children at the end of Paritu Road each day. Come and secure your spot in this true kiwi paradise! Call me to view by appointment.
