After a big few weeks getting the subdivision sewer completed, we’re now getting started on the foundations for Block #4, with the other three nearing completion.

It was great catching up with Dan from Ariki Plumbing + Gas onsite today. Once the plumbing is laid, we’ll be looking forward to some good weather and getting the slab poured soon.

We’ve put together a simple guide on what to look for in a section before you build, with a few things that are easy to overlook when you’re buying land.

This home is giving us serious house envy. The view, the location, the design... it's got it all! ✨

Thanks to some crisp winter weather playing ball, the team were able to get the second-level frames up this week, and it's safe to say the office view wasn't too bad.

We can't wait to share more as this build takes shape.

The fresh snow on the maunga is a pretty good reminder that winter has well and truly arrived in Taranaki. ❄️

Days like this make you appreciate a home that feels warm inside, while still enjoying a view like this from your front door.

Not a bad place to call home.
