188A Evans Street, Opoho, Dunedin, Otago

A rare chance to procure an idyllic north-west facing section at the end of a cul-de-sac with a leg in driveway, in an established residential area––it doesn’t get any more peaceful than this. With close proximity to bus stops, super market, schools (kindergarten to high school), the botanic gardens, sports fields, mountain bike and trail tracks…you name it, this neighbourhood has it.

Residentially zoned, 1277m2 section with stunning views and amenities including power and water, driveway access, on-site parking platforms, and a shelter. Neighbouring section zoned lifestyle so views will never be built out. Foundations for another shed underway, and a small orchard, along with rock walls, garden beds and over 100 natives planted. With plenty of building potential––either a single residential dwelling or scope to construct a tasteful multi-unit development.

After significant consideration and with great sadness, we have decided to part with our project, as we have moved cities and cannot sustain the dream from afar. We have poured hundreds of hours into this slope establishing a garden, ready to be populated with buildings to suit your needs. We haven’t done all the hard work, but we’ve certainly got the ball rolling with a well-designed driveway and landings for loading materials in and out. You can easily manoeuvre a Ute and trailer without unhitching. Trees planted several years ago are starting to mature, which will form a diverse canopy within the next 5 years. Our neighbours also gracefully removed a stack of pine trees to the north-east boundary of the section, and have committed and followed through on a regeneration plan to establish a native forest including hundreds of trees on this patch of their lifestyle block. The neighbours in every direction are a testament to the quality of the surrounding community, everyone being approachable, encouraging and supportive in our venture thus far.

The birdlife up on Evans Street is second to none, with all the usual suspects accounted for, from wax eyes to tui and sightings of our treasured NZ falcon karearea hunting on the wing.

To view the section, you can just turn up and have a walk around, we would like a text or email to let us know your intentions prior. Please for now park at the bottom of the driveway on the road, we would rather not have people driving up the way, but obviously this can be arranged when appropriate.

If this section might be of interest to you, please get in touch with us. We’re happy to chat through any queries you may have and you will be engaging with the owners directly. We also have a property file that is available on request.
