About this section

<p>I'm 1,543 square metres of flat, north-facing volcanic soil in Maunu.<br /><br />That sentence is the whole pitch, and I know it.<br /><br />I sit on Brenda Gardner Way. Quiet, settled, the kind of private road families look for and don't often find a section on. North-facing means sun across the build, every season. Flat means the driveway, the foundations, the lawn, none of it argues with you. Volcanic soil means the garden you've been planning actually grows.<br /><br />Maunu does the rest. Maunu School zone. Pompallier College down the road. <br />The hospital, Jolt Cafe, Sherwood Park Golf Club, Barge Park, all just minutes away.<br />And town is less than 8km away.<br /><br />I'm not the cheapest section in Maunu. I am the one worth buying.<br /><br />Here's the maths. Buy me at $365,000. Take six to twelve months. <br />Choose your build partner properly. Design the home you actually want, and not the compromise sitting on the market today. Land and build, done right, can come in under $990,000.<br /><br />Look at what $990,000 buys you already-built in Maunu. Then look at me.<br /><br />The specs: 1,543sqm, freehold, flat contour, north aspect. Power to the boundary. Tank water and wastewater to arrange, standard for a build of this kind, factored into the maths above.<br /><br />The developer's plans changed. Mine haven't. <br />I've been waiting for the family that knows the difference between buying a house and building one.<br /><br />Six to twelve months of patience. A lifetime of getting it right.<br /><br />The door's not built yet. But it's yours when you're ready.</p>
