38 | Blue Hills Estate T T Rosa Watson Broad range of homes in prime location “For older couples and downsizers, the smaller sites are ideal for creating a comfortable, low-maintenance home close to shops, healthcare, and amenities.” REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT Stage 2 of a picturesque Blue Hills Estate subdivision in Blenheim is ready to get underway, with 11 more sections coming on the market. The development, with 60 residential sections planned, lies in the sought-after Springlands suburb with section sizes ranging from 400sqm to 710sqm, providing flexibility for a wide range of buyers. Five of the nine sections in Stage 1 have sold and titles in the process of being issued, says Harcourts Marlborough principal Mark Davis, who is marketing the subdivision. One will be a GJ Gardner show home and the other four are local purchasers looking to down-size into smaller lots, and who especially like the location, he says. Stage 2 is due to be released in September, and Mark says there’s something for everyone. “For older couples and downsizers, the smaller sites are ideal for creating a comfortable, low-maintenance home close to shops, healthcare, and amenities. For others, larger sections allow space for family living, gardens, or visiting grandchildren.” “With mostly flat contours, north-facing orientation, and clear design guidelines in place, planning a building project is easy — whether you’re thinking about single-level living, future accessibility, or simply an easier way of life,” he says. Work began in January last year on the five-hectare block, with its 60 sections ranging in size from 410sqm to 700sqm. Stage 1 included significant upgrades to Rose Street and the main entrance to the subdivision, and delivered the nine residential lots with titles ready in the next two weeks. Stage 2 and 3 with 11 sections are ahead of schedule and expected to have titles before September this year. Mark says the vision for Blue Hills Estate is clear — to create a modern, fresh subdivision that takes full advantage of its prime Springlands location. “Easy access and multiple exit routes mean residents can quickly head out to shop, visit local vineyards, explore the Marlborough Sounds, or catch a flight when travel calls. “At the same time, the neighbourhood itself is designed to feel cohesive, welcoming, and well considered.” With a range of lot sizes and clear covenants, Blue Hills Estate appeals to a broad mix of buyers. Set against the sweeping backdrop of the Richmond Ranges with a central location, it offers the best of both worlds — a peaceful outlook with the convenience of the city nearby. Demand has been seen from both local buyers and people relocating from the North Island. “Blue Hills Estate is designed for people who want to live well today, while investing in a location that will continue to grow in value tomorrow,” Mark says. It is close to the Westwood Shopping precinct and the Marlborough Airport for stressfree travel. There is also nearby an 18-hole championship golf course. The area is surrounded by award-winning wineries and vineyard restaurants, and is zoned for popular local schools, with excellent primary and secondary options nearby. “This is a location where daily errands are simple, appointments are close by, and getting around feels easy and manageable — now and into the future,” Mark says.
