82 | DEVELOPMENT Paerata Rise - Navigation Homes Counties Franklin Kim Newth An attractive semi-rural lifestyle The starting point for many prospective new residents is the inspiring Navigation Homes show home at 1 Jonah Lomu Drive. “We’re now preparing to showcase another unique design and are about to start building our next new show home that we plan to open in April 2023. It is going to be based around an American bungalow – it will be a really cool family home.” Navigation Homes is proud to have been part of the Paerata Rise vision since 2018, building unique, high-quality homes for people wanting to make the most of the semi-rural lifestyle on offer in this charming new township. The starting point for many prospective new residents is the inspiring Navigation Homes show home at 1 Jonah Lomu Drive, (open Thurs-Fri 10am-3pm, Sat-Sun 11am-4pm). This immaculate two-level home has been designed with multi-generational living in mind, with a four-bedroom home downstairs, 2.5 bathrooms and separate upper-level living that includes two-bedrooms, bathroom and a kitchenette. “Adult children now often live at home through their 20s and 30s, and there may be older family members sharing the family home too; naturally, we’ve had a lot of interest in this show home because the layout works so well for exactly those sorts of situations,” says Nathan Hall, director and co-owner of Navigation Homes Counties. In the two years since opening, the show home has been widely admired and has inspired many to choose Navigation Homes to bring their unique dreams to fruition at Paerata Rise. The show home plan has been replicated many times, a true sign of an inspirational show home. “Our current show home has been a great success,” observes Nathan. “We’re now preparing to showcase another unique design and are about to start building our next new show home that we plan to open in April 2023. It is going to be based around an American bungalow – it will be a really cool family home.” This next show home will shine the light on Navigation Homes’ Villa Series, a desirable range that combines classic tradition with timeless elegance. Prospective new residents have a great choice of plans with Navigation Homes, each offering a superb starting point for new home projects. Navigation’s first show home at Paerata Rise highlighted their stunning Remarkables Series, notable for high pitched roof lines and a touch of Scandi Nordic style. “People loved that one too – it was extremely popular. You can see how that influenced the style of the first homes we built here. “In the first stages (1A and 1B) alone, we built around a third of the new houses that went up.” Being a neighbour of the new township - with their office in Karaka (at 5 Whangapouri Rd, Karaka, T: 0800 303 207) - it was a logical step for Navigation Homes Counties to become involved as a key building partner from the start. “That was not the only attraction for us though. The developers of Paerata Rise were clear about not wanting to create a community of square boxes that would all look the same,” says Nathan. “They established good strict guidelines and have a strong vision to build an authentic town. We really appreciate the care they have taken in planning how they want this town to look and the lifestyle it will offer residents.” Nathan and business partner Ryan Keegan have a passion for helping people get onto the property ladder; they are locals who know the market exceptionally well. At Paerata Rise, Navigation Homes has built affordable homes for first-home buyers in every single phase of development, as well as more expensive homes for those with bigger budgets and often their forever home. No matter what the size of the dream, Navigation Homes is proud to design and build quality homes for Kiwis. Sections are now available at Paerata Rise in Stage 8. (While affordable quality duplex home options will be offered these are not yet on the market). “Most people start by choosing one of our plans. From there, we can make changes to suit individual requirements or to make it fit a particular site. We offer turnkey packages to make purchasing as easy as possible.” Navigation Homes promotes strong and informed dialogue as part of the journey with clients to produce high-quality homes they will love to live in. The team recognises that every home and client is unique, right down to colour choices with clients enjoying a professional in-house colour consultancy service. With a 10 Year Master Builders Guarantee, 50 Year Structural Guarantee and an extensive 365-day maintenance plan on all their homes, homeowners choosing award winning Navigation Homes are also choosing peace of mind and an assurance of quality. • Visit the Navigation Homes show home or call into their Karaka office to discuss your plans and explore the options.
