A rare opportunity

Beach life: Your chance to enjoy sun, sea and fun.

Two substantial beachfront sections are being offered for sale in a gated residential subdivision at Ohope Beach, in the Bay of Plenty.

The two titles are adjoining sections of 666 square metres and 550 square metres with direct north-facing access to the beach.

The subdivision, known as Waterford Estate, was established in the mid to late 1990s and contains a mixture of family dwellings, retirement homes and beach houses.

Marketing agent Geoff Barlow, of Bayleys Tauranga, says beachfront building sites are extremely popular these days. "There are only a handful of beachfront sections still available in Waterford Estate. This property is particularly attractive because it offers purchasers the option of building across the entire 1,216-square-metre site, or building on one and holding the other for future development," says Barlow.

He says the subdivision offers a high degree of privacy and seclusion as it is gated and set back from Ohope's main road, Pohutukawa Avenue.

Ohope Beach offers safe swimming and is extremely popular with surfers from all around New Zealand, said Barlow.

He says the nearby Urewera National Park, Raukumara Forest Park and Rotorua Lakes offer excellent hunting and fishing.

The two sections are for sale as a single lot. The property is being offered for sale by auction at Bayleys Tauranga office on March 14. For further information contact Geoff Barlow on 07 571 4683 or toll free 0800 77 30 60.
