Description
Set within the Orokonui Valley, this is land with a feeling that is increasingly hard to find: space to breathe, room to imagine, and a setting that invites a home with real connection to its surroundings.
At 8,156 sqm, this generous freehold section offers more than a building site. It is a place to create a life with a little more calm, a little more nature, and a little more room around you. Open grass gives way to established trees and bush, while tracks through the land invite you to slow down and explore the property at your own pace.
The site has a natural elevation and gentle variation through the landscape, creating a sense of separation from the everyday. There are leafy pockets, open areas, and a changing outlook through the trees and across the valley — the kind of setting where a thoughtfully designed home could sit comfortably within the land rather than compete with it.
This is not a cookie-cutter section. It will appeal to someone who wants to build something personal: a home that makes the most of the setting, the space and the sense of living close to nature. Whether your ideas are still taking shape or you have been waiting for the right piece of land to bring them to life, this is an opportunity to start that conversation.
Orokonui Estate offers a distinctive valley setting while keeping Waitati and Dunedin within reach. It is a place where the rhythm changes as you arrive — where established trees, birdsong, open ground and the surrounding hills create a more relaxed backdrop for everyday life.
A marked building area and supporting property information are available to help you understand the opportunity. The best way to appreciate the character of the land is to walk it: see the contours, follow the tracks, stand among the trees and get a feel for the place a future home could occupy. The property is offered for sale at $390,000. Viewing is by appointment. Request the information pack, then come and experience the site for yourself.
Covenants and design expectations Registered covenants apply and are intended to support the overall character of the valley and design quality across the estate. Full covenant documentation is provided in the information pack.
Viewing and next steps Viewing is by appointment only due to private road access. Contact us to arrange a time, and let us know what you have in mind for the site.
