Ten 3½ha blocks are on the market in Pukekawa, a region within 70km of both Auckland and Hamilton. Ray White agent Shona Brown said Pukekawa was seeing the type of development witnessed by nearby Bombay a decade ago. You can see that by the amount of new land being subdivided and released onto the market. For the past 15 to 20 years the land has been used for market gardens. The blocks of land are zoned rural and therefore cannot be subdivided further, Brown said.
