Destiny Church buys $2m lifestyle block

Tuesday, December 1st, 2015

A trust owned by Destiny Church members has purchased a $2 million rural property in Clevedon, south west of Auckland.

It appears church leaders Bishop Brian Tamaki and his wife Hannah may be building on the property.

Hannah Tamaki has been posting to social media about the spot, saying she had taken her parents “to have a look where we plan to build”.

The real estate listing said the property has “a good sized character home, perfectly liveable but would respond well to a new owner who loves a character home they can be proud of”.

The land can be divided into four separate titles and “the new building sites will have the most spectacular views”.

At the beginning of November the Destiny School Facebook posted a story about children planting an orchard and native trees on the property.

“On Wednesday 11, Mrs Harvey took the year 9 class to the church property in Clevedon to plant an orchard and native tree bird garden.

“Holes were dug, trees were cleared firewood cut and stacked, and trees were planted- Kowhai and other native trees, fig, fejoa, red-current, blueberry, raspberry, loquat, guava, apple and plum were planted.

“It was such a great opportunity for us to apply our learning about sustainable forest and environments and for the students to work alongside Bishop Tamaki on a project.”
