Swap: 2 residential sections for rural land.
Just received approval from the council for the subdivision and looking for options.
Coming up:
2 residential sections on quiet street in Foxton Beach, 330sqm each.
Close to supermarket and whitebait creek. Boating club at walking distance if you want to go for a stroll.
Will have minimal covenants, relocatable, prefab homes will be fine.
(A third, larger, back section might become available in a later stage.)
Wanting to swap for:
5+ acres rural land or lifestyle on quiet, but not remote, location, with access to permanent forestry suitable for horse riding. Free-draining soil with about 5 acres mow-able by ride-on mower. Need to be able to grow some grass, but not looking for dairy quality. Some mature trees very much appreciated. Not planning to go off-grid, so will need power and good internet speed (wireless is fine).
Close to Foxton preferred, between Bulls and Kapiti considered.
Alternatively: if you are looking for a similar rural block contact me. Maybe we can buy something bigger together.
Note: Not interested in selling until I have found a new place myself.
Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
