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.

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.
