Clevedon Feng Shui & Rural Property Environment Guide

Clevedon needs a land-first reading

Clevedon combines village development, rural and countryside-living land, the Wairoa River system and areas of floodplain. That makes it unsuitable for a generic suburban Feng Shui checklist.

Auckland planning material for Clevedon distinguishes land suitable for countryside living from floodplain areas where development must be constrained. This is exactly the type of distinction that form-based Feng Shui should respect: two nearby parcels can perform very differently because of level, drainage, enclosure and access.

River relationship and floodplain

A river can provide openness and landscape value, but proximity to water is not automatically beneficial. The important questions are the height of the building platform, the direction of local drainage, the width and openness of the floodplain, and whether the property can maintain stable support away from the river.

In Unison Ten Dynamics terms, water or falling land may act as if movement continually leaves the site, while useful landform and vegetation can by creating containment.

Lifestyle blocks and building placement

Large rural or lifestyle properties require a different order of assessment from suburban homes. First read the whole site: ridges, low points, swales, access, existing vegetation and surrounding land. Only after that should the house position and orientation be fixed.

What to check before purchase or design

  • floodplain and river relationship;

  • site high points and low points;

  • access road and driveway length;

  • stable building platforms;

  • surrounding rural openness versus useful enclosure;

  • drainage and swales;

  • neighbouring land uses and future development;

  • where a true inner Ming Tang can be created near the house.
