*** Why Cohousing Here Works ***
• Private home + shared amenities: Keep your ultra-upgraded space while enjoying the Common House, gardens, workshop, and more.
Regular connection, low pressure: Join shared meals and activities when you choose; retreat to quiet privacy when you want. (Nominal community contributions are expected—working bees, working groups, etc.)
• Designed for ease: Guest suite for visitors (no need for a spare room), separate shared storage + workshop shed, gardens for gatherings, and a pending children’s playground that makes spontaneous playdates effortless.
• Care at your doorstep: Borrow a ladder, share produce, swap pet care, and enjoy a quick chat on the path.

*** Common House & Shared Spaces ***
• High-quality kitchen and dining hall for community meals and events; relaxing lounge with projector; guest room; shared workshop and storage shed with additional private storage; mezzanine for yoga/meditation; productive gardens; and a welcoming green where kids play and neighbours connect.

*** Kitchen & Living ***
Fisher & Paykel fridge (ice & filtered water), AEG oven + induction, Miele dishwasher; extended peninsula, ceiling-height cabinetry, double pantry, double sink with disposal. Custom window seat, projector mount with pre-wired 5.1, and dedicated fibre (not shared)—great for remote work.

*** Year-Round Comfort ***
Four Wi-Fi–enabled Mitsubishi heat pumps (one per bedroom + lounge) plus SmartVent Synergy 2 heat-recovery ventilation. Motorised blinds/curtains, low-e thermally-broken windows, and added internal soundproofing—peaceful when you want quiet, cosy when you host.

*** Energy & Running Costs ***
3 kW PV + evacuated-tube solar hot water (offline until recently; warranty fix in progress) + heat-pump HWC. Daytime excess PV is credited in-community at retail rate (better than grid buy-backs). Average last 12 months (high-use profile): ~$151/month. Community-solar coming online soon. Financials: https://ap.tips/solar · Bills: https://ap.tips/power.
Bills shown are conservative due to the earlier solar-HW outage. Rule of thumb: $100/month ˜ $15.8k in price @ 6.5%/30y.

*** Bathrooms & Laundry ***
Two full bathrooms: downstairs full shower for easy single-level living; upstairs generous shower + oversized two-person bath; toilet with bidet. Bosch Series 6 washer/dryer in your private laundry (no waiting for or walking to the communal laundry—unlike most other units).

*** Outdoors ***
Roses, passionfruit vines, dwarf avocado, drawf magnolia, herbs. Covered pergola for year-round gatherings; multiple outdoor power points (BBQ to future spa). Spacious Duratuf Kiwi MK4 timber shed with workbench and high ceiling. Side fencing for privacy between friendly neighbours. Enjoy ~275 m² of established private garden and lawn.

*** Genius Home ***
Keyless smart lock (PIN, fob, or phone). Whole-home smart lighting, motorised blinds/curtains, and heat pumps by app or voice; automation-ready for sunset blinds, night lighting, and pre-heating before you arrive (additional hub/equipment may be required).

*** Future-Proof ***
Single-level living option with downstairs bathroom and bedroom potential. Energy-efficient upgrades, and community + private solar help buffer rapidly rising electricity prices. The large community provides ample social support.

*** 4th-Bedroom Possibility ***
The lounge void can be enclosed to create a 4th bedroom; pre-wired for a 5th heat pump. When your family grows, so can the floor plan.

*** Move-In Ready ***
Step into a functioning village that’s been thoughtfully developing for several years. Compared to a ~$830k Neighbourhood 2 home delivered in 2027, this home avoids ~$250k deposit lock-up, ~$63k rent (2 years at average Takaka rates), and inflation on upgrades—and you can move in before Christmas. Community infrastructure is complete and functioning. Title clear and immediate. All upgrades council-consented and code-compliant.
