Free land to lure Auckland buyers

If fresh country air and affordable prices aren’t enough to tempt frustrated Aucklanders from the big smoke, now a Waikato developer is offering one lucky buyer the prospect of free land to build on.

Purchase a lot in the new Vineyard Road Estate, Te Kauwhata and you’ve got a 1 in 38 chance of winning back your entire purchase price.

“In 12 months a supervised draw will refund one lucky buyer their section purchase price in full,” explains Barfoot & Thompson Pukekohe Branch Manager Nick Bates.

Stage one – 12 of the total 38 lots – was listed this week and priced at just $270,000 for a sizable lifestyle section of over an acre. Releases of larger sections will follow through the coming year.

“We want to grab the attention of people considering a lifestyle move with an offer that just has to be considered.”

Listings and sales in the North Waikato town have been on the up over the last year, particularly as Aucklanders look to invest outside the city for lifestyle and price reasons.

Mr Bates says the Vineyard Road Estate location, being midway between Auckland and Hamilton, is ideal for those looking to escape the hot Auckland market, but still have the option to commute to nearby cities for work.

“You don’t have to go as far as Huntly or Hamilton to get the best of both worlds.”

Hamilton and Manukau are around 40 minutes’ drive and Auckland City can be reached in just under an hour outside peak times.

In 2023, the government is clutching its pearls because senior Labour MP Damien O’Connor has dared suggest that Gaza’s civilian population - already living under apartheid and subjected to sixteen years of an illegal embargo, and now being herded together and slaughtered indiscriminately amid the destruction of their homes, schools, mosques, and hospitals - are also victims of what amounts to genocide.
