Site context
What shapes the build here.
Road frontage
364 m
KARA ROAD, MANGAKAHIA ROAD, PEARSON ROAD — vehicle crossing still needs council approval
Nearest stream

Setback unlikely to bite — verify in the district plan
Nearest coast

Nearest lake

Site aspect
Falls ≈ north-west
A north-facing fall suits passive-solar orientation
Too far away to matter: nearest powerline 927 m · nearest rail 8.7 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.
