Nearly 200 hectares of farmland beside Thames Golf Course is for sale, and agents say large-scale housing could be in its future. The farm is on the southeastern boundary of Thames and Thames-Coromandel District Council has flagged it as a site for future medium-density housing, says a Bayleys statement. A slightly elevated ridgeline runs through the middle of the Paeroa Kopu Road property, and there are also some valleys of mature trees. But the 188-hectare farm block for sale – 9528 Paeroa Kopu Road – has been flagged as having potential for a future housing development. Council has flagged rezoning it for future medium density housing to help address the housing shortage and cater for the growing population, as noted in the Thames and Surrounds Spatial Plan.
