Are you searching for a premium landholding with genuine scale, flexibility, and development upside? 91B Gasson Lane presents one of the most strategic rural fringe opportunities in the Tauranga district. With 80 hectares of land, multiple subdivision pathways already underway, and further rights available as of right, this is a property that allows you to unlock capital, reduce holding costs, and ultimately retain a substantial estate at a significantly reduced effective entry level.
Unmatched Development Potential
- Consented Merrick Road Section, Immediate Capital Recovery:
A fully consented subdivision off Merrick Road is already in place, providing a turnkey opportunity to create an immediately saleable title. This offers a clear pathway to recoup a meaningful portion of your capital outlay early in the ownership cycle, helping offset acquisition costs and supporting future stages of development.
- Gasson Lane Section, Approved Subdivision Opportunity:
At the top of Gasson Lane, there is a separate rural parcel of approximately 700 square metres, under Tauranga City Council jurisdiction, which has been approved for subdivision. This creates another straightforward opportunity to sell down a portion of land and directly reduce the capital expense of purchasing the wider estate.
- Future Residential Zoning Upside:
In addition, there is ongoing progression around residential zoning in the immediate area under the Kennan road , reinforcing the long term development trajectory of this corridor. As Tauranga continues to expand, land on this rural urban fringe is increasingly positioned for strategic growth.
- 80 Hectares, As of Right Subdivision Potential:
Importantly, at 80 hectares the property carries the ability, as of right, to subdivide into two 40 hectare titles. This provides a simple and highly valuable structural option, whether to stage ownership, introduce a partner, or create a future sell down strategy without complex consenting risk.
- Additional Subdivision Options:
Beyond the consented and approved titles, there may be further potential along riparian margins and within the forestry areas, subject to ecological and council review. Taken together, these layered opportunities provide multiple avenues to generate revenue while retaining the core of the estate.
Strategic Advantage, Retain the Land at a Reduced Net Cost
The combined value of:
- The consented Merrick Road title
- The approved 700 sqm Gasson Lane section
- The as of right ability to split into two 40 hectare titles
- Longer term subdivision potential creates a rare scenario where a purchaser can strategically sell down portions of the land to offset capital expenditure, while still retaining a significant landholding in a tightly held location.
This is a compelling model for developers, land bankers, investors, or lifestyle buyers seeking scale without carrying the full financial weight long term.
Location, Seclusion Without Sacrificing Convenience
While the property offers privacy, natural beauty, and true rural living, it is exceptionally well positioned.
You are just minutes from Tauranga Crossing, providing immediate access to retail, dining, and essential services. The proximity to leading schooling is another major advantage, including ACG Tauranga and Aquinas College, both regarded as exceptional educational options in the region.
This is rural, secluded living, yet very close to town and all amenities, a combination that consistently underpins long term value.
