A REDCLIFFS cottage<br />
surrounded by mansions<br />
but deemed unworthy of its<br />
beachfront location has sold<br />
under the hammer for $1.675m.<br />
The owners had shelled out<br />
$1.6 million for the development<br />
site on Beachville Rd in 2020<br />
with intentions to build their<br />
dream home, but a change of<br />
plans saw them putting it back<br />
on the market last month.<br />
The listing for the property<br />
said the house was “clearly not<br />
worthy” of the prime waterfront<br />
position surrounded by $2mplus<br />
homes. The cottage was<br />
liveable and had been tenanted,<br />
but was uninsurable in its<br />
current state.<br />
“Our sellers’<br />
difficult decision<br />
to abandon their<br />
development<br />
plans is tempered<br />
by how settled<br />
they are in their<br />
Alison new home in the<br />
Aitken countryside,”<br />
Harcourts agent<br />
Alison Aitken said in the listing.<br />

They had commissioned<br />
architectural plans and<br />
gained resource consent<br />
for a stunning home to be<br />
built on the 668sqm site,<br />
which was spread over two<br />
titles, before deciding to<br />
stay put so included them<br />
as part of the sale.<br />

auction manager Karen<br />
Phillips said it was a good<br />
result for an “as is, where<br />
is” property especially<br />
because it was always hard<br />
to know how they would<br />
go in the current market.<br />

Beachville Rd was a prime<br />
location close to the water and<br />
away from any busy road noise,<br />
she said. “It’s a beautiful spot.”<br />

In Brief<br />
NEW DATE SET FOR<br />
SQUASH CLUB DISPUTE<br />
The ongoing legal dispute over<br />
the Mt Pleasant Squash Club<br />
premises has a new arbitration<br />
date. It was scheduled for last<br />
month but will now be held<br />
from February 19-20. The<br />
dispute between the club and<br />
the Mt Pleasant Community<br />
Centre began when the club<br />
was issued a notice in April to<br />
terminate its licence to occupy<br />
the McCormacks <strong>Bay</strong> facility.<br />
Squash club president Hamish<br />
Methven said the community<br />
centre requested a delay in the<br />
arbitration, initially planned for<br />
last month. Community centre<br />
manager Derek McCullough<br />
said the centre would not<br />
comment on the reason<br />
behind the delay until after the<br />
arbitration.<br />
SURFER RESCUES<br />
YOUNG SWIMMER<br />
A quick thinking surfer<br />
rescued a young swimmer at<br />
Scarborough beach on Sunday.<br />
The young person got stuck<br />
in a rip in the morning, but<br />
was spotted by the surfer and<br />
pulled back to shore near the<br />
coastguard building. First aid<br />
was rendered by Coastguard’s<br />
Dave Passmore, who was in the<br />
building. An ambulance was<br />
called and the swimmer cleared<br />
by paramedics.<br />
