Chase-Seymour’s dream is to build a family home, with husband Stephen, overlooking Lake Taupō and with a view across the water to Tauhara Maunga. Chase-Seymour has spent years arranging title to a 6500-square metre section of the nearly 70-hectare Paenoa Te Akau block that runs along the lake side of Acacia Bay Rd, from opposite Jarden Mile to the shops at Acacia Bay. The process she began looking into in 1998 was finally sorted in 2015. Her connection comes via her great-great-grandmother through her father, while her cousins next door – with whom Chase-Seymour got access to a 1.13-hectare share in 2015 and then halved – derive their land from a shared grandmother.
