Susie Jones thought it was paradise, a 5000sq m block of land at Te Miro in the Waikato with sweeping views of the Kaimai Ranges and as far north as the Firth of Thames.
With her husband, Vince, she built her house in 2003 with spacious decks for the views.
In late 2004, the Jones discovered their home was smack in the middle of a proposed upgrade to the ageing national power grid.
