There's a particular kind of quiet that settles over Kinloch in the early morning, before the golf carts are out and the boats are still tied up at the marina — just the sound of tūī in the trees and the lake sitting still down the hill. This is the setting for 37 Seven Oaks Drive.

The site itself is about as straightforward as building sites get: 802sqm (more or less), flat, and a good uniform shape, with easy covenants in place to protect the quality of what's being built around you rather than tie you in knots.

Access is directly off the road with good frontage, so getting a build underway here is refreshingly simple. New homes are going up all around it, part of a subdivision that's clearly established itself as one of the best-regarded corners of Kinloch.

The Silverleaf Way boardwalk is close by, feeding onto the K2K walking and cycle track that winds down to the lake edge. Safe swimming beaches, tennis courts, an acclaimed golf course, and a multi-lane marina for those who'd rather be on the water than beside it.

Kinloch is developing fast, and sections with this kind of proximity to the lakefront are becoming genuinely hard to find. This is your chance to secure a piece of it while the opportunity still exists.
