76 | DEVELOPMENT Raukawa Heights T T Karen Phelps Development brings vision to life With its unique design, prime location and affordable pricing, Raukawa Heights is set to transform Stokes Valley’s real estate landscape. “The architectural design of these homes sets them apart, offering a harmonious blend of contemporary aesthetics and practical functionality. No detail has been overlooked in the creation of these residences, ensuring a living experience that is both visually stunning and highly livable,” says one of the developers, Marc Lock. The 33 townhouses boast three or four bedrooms and range in size from approximately 80-170sqm. Marc says this is quite different from the usual two bedroom townhouse products on the market. They are also positioned on an elevated terrain rather than a flat site. This means that each residence enjoys a northern aspect, abundant sunlight and many have stunning views of the valley. The development also backs onto native bush. A commitment to quality and architectural design is evident in every detail of Raukawa Heights. Marc says the homes are built to the highest standards, using proven materials including macrocarpa, long run iron and ZX pressed aluminium sheets, which also add design flair. Marc says that Stokes Valley is known for its close-knit community and the Koraunui Stokes Valley Community Hub offers various facilities including a library, hall, toy library, and Plunket services. Nearby, the Stokes Valley Pool & Fitness Centre caters to sports and leisure activities. The surrounding area is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, with the Horoeka Scenic Reserve nearby, offering hiking trails ranging from easy walks to challenging tramps. Families can enjoy picnic spots and a fairy reserve. With easy access to local shops and public transport, Marc says that Raukawa Heights offers the perfect blend of convenient modern living and a serene retreat setting. The development is just a short drive from a shopping hub with a New World supermarket, pharmacy, bakery, cafe, bar and a variety of takeaway options. Kamahi Park, featuring a playground and basketball court, is a short walk away. Public transportation is easily accessible, with a bus stop just a few minutes’ walk, Pomare Train Station at 4.9km, and Silverstream Train Station at 6.7km. The development is strategically structured in stages. Stage one, consisting of 14 homes, is sold and is expected to be completed by the end of this year, along with essential infrastructure and roading. Stage two of Raukawa Heights comprises eight three bedroom townhouses, with Blocks D and E offering distinct options. Block D features five terraced three-story homes, complete with high-stud garages on the ground floor, while Block E offers three terraced two-story homes with living areas on the ground floor, leading to sunny patios and courtyards. Construction for this stage is set to commence shortly. Meanwhile stage three, comprising 11 homes, is scheduled to begin next year. Marc says that Raukawa Heights has been popular with first homebuyers due to the design aesthetics and attractive price point to meet the market’s demands. It also presents a great investment opportunity. Buyers can enjoy a one-year defects period, during which any issues will be promptly addressed. Additionally the homes come with the statutory protections of the Building Act for a decade. With a 10% deposit, securing a brand-new home is a hassle-free process. Construction is well underway, and no further payments are due until settlement. The development will have freehold titles, and common areas will be administered by a Residents Association, which will also oversee insurance matters. Marc says that Raukawa Heights is not merely a housing development; it’s a vision brought to life, showcasing architectural innovation, quality construction and a commitment to community and nature. “Reception to Raukawa Heights has been overwhelmingly positive. We are encouraging potential purchasers to get in touch sooner rather than later to avoid missing out on being part of this unique opportunity.” Providing Concrete Pumping & Concrete Spraying services in the Wellington Region.
