| 111 Affordable house and land deals Latitude Homes - Central Otago BUILDING T T Bernadette Cooney Longview provides an enviable rural setting. “People who bought at initial stages only a couple of years back, have already gained a lot of equity.” If living in the naturally beautiful adventure playground that is Southern Lakes is an unrealised dream, newly minted sections at Longview Lake Hawea could help make the dream a reality. Affordable sections are available now, says Latitude Homes building licence owner, Jeremy Pile. Latitude Homes have partnered with Universal Developments to bring affordable house and land deals to the region. “Lane Hocking of Universal Developments has done a tremendous job in planning and delivering this community,” says Jeremy. First home buyers are priority purchasers within Longview– which incorporates 480 lots across a 35 hectare residential development. Zoned as a special housing area from the getgo to boost both the supply and affordability of new housing in the region. Longview provides an enviable rural setting. A mere stroll to the lakes edge at Lake Hawea and with views of Mt Aspiring ranges in the distance. Longview is only a 15-minute drive from Wanaka and is on route to the West Coast. Close to everything Central Otago has to offer. Familiarise yourself with Lakes Hawea & Wanaka or take up fishing nearby rivers. Take your e-bike out on one of the cycle trails or hike local conservation reserves. In winter take a day trip to ski resorts such as Cardrona or Treble Cone. But don’t hesitate if that’s you because with the escalation in the costs of building, house building firms would struggle to keep build costs down. “That said, in terms of being the place for someone to get into the housing market with a new build in that region, then Longview is the go-to place,” Jeremy says. Hawea township itself has grown upon news the area is opening up to new residences, with a brand-new supermarket going up alongside new start-ups and established local businesses. Longview offers the best of all worlds says Jeremy and in time, commercial development will increase within the subdivision with consents in place for a childcare centre, licensed café and office space to lease. Longview will also feature two large reserves and a destination playground. “The build prices we offer are really competitive and we’ll work with you to ensure you get an architecturally designed home, customised to your lifestyle on a flat section in a highly desirable location,” Jeremy says. Of the first 15 homes built by Latitude Homes all except two were first home buyers. “People who bought at initial stages only a couple of years back, have already gained a lot of equity on that decision. It’s a very good choice for first home buyers or investors,” Jeremy says. ‘’Once you’ve got your section, we can take care of every aspect of the build process from concept to consents and completion.” Future stages of the development are still to be released with possibly another 2000 sections in the pipeline. Latitude Homes have a beautiful new show home now available for inspection within a dedicated show home precinct. Want to know what we can do for you?
