Land formerly occupied by Brown Owl School, in Timberlea, Upper Hutt, is for sale by its local owner, with consents in place for a residential subdivision.
Mark Sherlock and Fraser Press, of Bayleys Wellington, are marketing the land on behalf of Tararua Management Ltd, the entity that bought the site from the Crown a decade ago, and whose director is Silverstream GP Dr Marko Kljakovic, who has lived in Upper Hutt for 54 years.
The agents understand that Kljakovic's medical practice is his prime focus and hence the land is being made available for a residential developer, or perhaps a retirement village operator.
Kljakovic says he is selling with a tinge of regret as he has very much enjoyed the good relationships he's built up with neighbours of the former school.
On offer is 2.598ha of relatively flat land, along with an adjacent house site at 45 Aniseed Grove, which will enable access to any subdivision project. Sherlock says Tararua Management Limited project manager Zak Kljakovic has worked hard to get consent for a 37-lot residential subdivision. "This part of Upper Hutt is accepted as being a growth location with proven credentials, as evidenced by the Mount Marua subdivision nearby," says Sherlock.
