March 2010

Grandview is looking fantastic now, with two magnificent houses built and landscaped and the recreational facilities complete. They certainly proved a vivid statement of the standard that is able to be achieved at Grandview. As more houses of this quality are built it is apparent that the original object of creating the community as one of the best places to live in Taupo will be achieved. Two more houses are in planning at the moment so good progress is being made in this area.

The tennis court was completed some time ago and it is a very high standard artificial all weather surface. A few tight matches have already taken place there. The tennis pavilion is finished also and in use. It is a fantastic place to sit and enjoy an after match drink overlooking the magnificence of Taupo and the Lake.

The walking track is well established and is a real feature of the community. It can be used for a casual stroll while enjoying the views and the peace of the valley below, or it provides an excellent fitness workout for those wanting to stretch their muscles and run the track. It provides two completely different experiences in doing it either clockwise or anticlockwise.

All of the golf facilities are also in place. These comprise a driving net area, a chipping range into the lagoon using floating balls and a putting green near the tennis pavilion. A driving range is planned to be established in a unique location in Stage 3.

At the December Board Meeting of the Grandview Residents' Association, the board resolved to accept handover of the common facilities, the road lot and the open space lot from Scenic Ventures Limited to the Grandview Residents' Association Incorporated. Documents are currently signed for transfer of titles and this is expected to be completed next week.

The 2010 AGM is scheduled for Saturday 27 March at 1.00pm at the Grandview Tennis Pavilion. All owners are welcome to attend and bring your tennis racket and favourite golf club.

A marketing campaign is currently underway for the remaining Stage 1 sections. This is being conducted by Bayleys with Mark Harrison leading the team.

All sites have panoramic views and it is well worth taking a drive there to just experience the dramatic vistas from these sections.

The entry gate is now open during the day and anyone interested in taking a look at Grandview is welcome to call Mark Harrison on
027 279 3093 and he will be delighted to show you around and provide all information you need on the sites and the facilites of Grandview.

The next stages of Grandview are now being planned and some exciting ideas are developing. Grandview Country Estate can only continue to reinforce its position as the most desirable option for section purchasers in Taupo.
