‘Significant’ development for Levin Karen Phelps A new lifestyle/retirement village in the Horowhenua will see 500 houses and apartments built over the next 20 years. Speldhurst Country Estate is set on 48-hectares at 70 Kimberley Road, Levin, and is being developed on the site of what was previously the Kimberley Hospital, that closed its doors in 2001. “The scale of this lifestyle development is very significant for a community like the Horowhenua,” says developer and Horowhenua District councillor Wayne Bishop. “With our aging population and the Road of National Significance connecting Levin more closely to Wellington we are very excited about what the future holds for Speldhurst Country Estate.” He says that the first stage of the development, which comprises twenty-three brick-and-tile stand-alone houses, is selling well. The homes have a lounge, dining room and kitchen, three bedrooms, bathroom and a second separate toilet or internal laundry. Single and double garage options are also available. Approximately another 50 homes will be built in the next two or three years including one, two and three bedroom units. All are built from brick and tile construction with aluminium joinery.
