Ohokaman 5,763 Report post Posted July 24, 2020 Prime Development Opportunity - Paeroa Racecourse 29 Thames Road, Paeroa, Hauraki, Waikato Price by negotiation Details 332850m² Land Attribute Value Property type Section Agency reference # B9XGUK Description Development and Land banking opportunities to purchase Paeroa Racecourse Paeroa is known for its mineral springs, which used to provide the water used in a local soft drink L&P "Lemon & Paeroa". This lovely rural town stands at the intersection of State Highway 2 and 26, only one to one and half hour's drive from Auckland, Hamilton and Tauranga and close to the beautiful beaches of Whangamata, Tairua and Tauranga. It is a midway stop between Auckland, Tauranga and Rotorua. It is about half way between Auckland and Tauranga, and acts as the southern gateway to the Coromandel Peninsula, and as the western gateway to the Bay of Plenty. The 33.2847 hectares Paeroa racecourse is the town landmark and is mainly flat in contour with good highway frontage. It has great potential for subdivision into smaller residential sections or could be a managed retirement village or even continue to operate as a racecourse or simply sitting there for land banking.

jeepers 276 Report post Posted July 25, 2020 At the time Paeroa was originally sold I had in excess of 1.2k cash to spend on a property and was actively looking.I found out Paeroa could be for sale and asked my Agent to make an inquiry,reply was that it was sold.Found out for around $900000 and believed to be an in house deal with a lease back.I would have purchased it at the time if given the chance also with a lengthy leaseback.Amazing what happens in house in this game.

Blue 1,085 Report post Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) One thing I remember about Paeroa was Regal Ruler and Legal Ruler were synonymous with Paeroa. Hunting with Maramarua toe point-to-point was held on Viv Young's property then the Hunt Races were held there just before the Ellerslie Great Northern meeting. Going back a-ways here.
