Site aspect

Falls ≈ north-east

A north-facing fall suits passive-solar orientation

Too far away to matter: nearest lake 2.1 km · nearest rail 21.3 km.

Distances are from the parcel centroid to Topo 1:50k features (LINZ); site aspect is approximate, from the 1m LiDAR contours. Road frontage is a proxy — centreline intersection with parcel boundary, not a legal access measure. Confirm setbacks with a district-plan check before purchase.
