Estate Convenants

All sections enjoy covenants that protect owners values as the subdivision is developed. They ensure that whoever builds next door to your section don’t use second-hand materials as they have to build new houses.

Other owners can’t park and store unwarranted derelict cars, trucks or other machinery (which are unsightly), can’t leave rubbish lying around their section, and are required to build decent sized houses not little sheds (all houses must be at least 100 square metres).

These covenants ensure the subdivision looks and maintains a high quality feel and becomes a development you can be proud of. These covenants are available for download as a PDF here.

Thanks, you’re in the draw!

About Awhea Coastal Estate

This is your opportunity to share in a unique property development and conservation initiative. Awhea Coastal Estate is situated in Tora which lies on the east coast of Wairarapa only 1 3/4 hours from Wellington.

Despite being so close to the second largest city in New Zealand, this is truly dramatic country. Escape from the crowds, lose yourself in this remarkable setting.

Awhea Coastal Estate presents a rare opportunity to get back to nature. Local attractions include a seal colony adjacent to your property, a protected area of bush to the rear, a boat launch area, horse riding, surfing and an abundance of crayfish, paua and fishing. You will also be a part of an upmarket subdivision in an untouched part of this coastline whilst only fourty minutes away from the vineyards, restaurants and cafes of Martinborough township.

Awhea Coastal Estate is a large sanctuary of 55ha but it will contain only 24 sections. The Estate will provide 41ha of land to the QE2 Trust in order to enhance and protect this area as a wildlife sanctuary. This will give the Estate’s privileged owners an overwhelming sense of privacy, a welcome contrast to busy city life.

Demand for this coastline will increase with the improvements in state highway two to the Wairarapa and the growth of nearby Martinborough and Greytown. Awhea Coastal Estate is a spectacular property that will preserve its natural beauty and character for a small group of owners to enjoy and care for.

frequently asked questions

 

What is special about Tora?

Tora is one of the last untouched coastal areas 2 hours drive from Wellington. Local attractions include a seal colony adjacent to the property, a protected bush area to the rear of your property, a boat launch area within 5 minutes’ drive, horse riding, surfing, fishing and an abundance of crayfish, paua and other sea life.

How many sections are there?

24 Sections

 

Is this waterfront property?

Yes. Whilst the individual titles are set back from the water’s edge to maximise views, the common areas run down to the beach.

 

What am I buying?

You are purchasing a freehold title (approximately 800 to 1,000 square metres) along with a 1/24th share of all the common area which is approximately 52 hectares.

 

What is included in the common area?

The common area includes the QE11 covenanted bush area behind the sections, the wetlands, the wastewater system and the remainder of the land that runs down to the water’s edge.

 

Who maintains the common areas?

Most of the common area has been set aside as regenerating bush with a QE11 covenant to protect it. The residual is grazed by sheep and maintained by a local farmer.

 

Are there covenants on the type of house I can build?

Yes. When purchasing a section in a new subdivision there is always a concern about what your neighbours will build next to you and what other houses in the subdivision will ultimately look like. Our covenants protect purchasers by ensuring all houses are designed and built to a high standard. The covenants also ensure the sections are well maintained and free from unsightly vehicles, equipment and rubbish.

 

Who oversees the covenants and management of common areas?

A committee of co-owners will be formed to administer and manage the common areas and building covenants. Elections are held each year and all owners are entitled to vote and be on the committee if elected.

 

What services are provided with my section?

The services supplied to each site are all underground to preserve the natural environment and include:

  • Electricity
  • Wastewater (a connection to a communal system)
  • Telephone
  • Water from one of the local fresh water springs (which is designed to augment water collected from your roof)
The owner will need to provide are a water tank and a holding tank for wastewater.

 

What will Awhea Coastal Estate look like when finished?

Awhea Coastal Estate will be a subdivision that is well integrated into the coastal environment. All houses will be new and the grounds landscaped. House colours will be recessive in colour and in harmony with the ambiance of the coast.

 

What is the subdivision completion date?

Titles have been issued and sections are now available for sale.
