Update 122812
The three photos below accompany the bookabach.co.nz listing of this Futuro as available for holiday rentals. 
Original Information 072112 I am not aware of any recent photos of this Futuro so if anyone has any that I could use please let me know. The "Street View" from Google shown below is 180° rotated from the view at top right. While it is a view from lower down the hillside than the Futuro the land features visible in the photo above are also clearly visible in the "Street View". View Larger Map |
Update 122812
It seems that another Futuro has joined the ranks of those available to rent [along with Woodruff and Warrington]. The Nelson Futuro is listed on bookabach.co.nz for rent at $175 NZD per night [towards the bottom of the first page of listings as of 122812]. The listing was added October 2012 and appears to be still current. The detailed listing for the Futuro can be found here. Original Information 072112 Though obviously not "new", there is no such thing, this is a "newly rediscovered" Futuro [at least as far as I know]. I certainly have not seen it listed anywhere on the web. My thanks go once again to Achim Breiling who seems to be turning into something of a "Futuro Sleuth". Taking an old picture of a Futuro in Nelson and examining the land features in the area he was able to track this down in Google Maps. It is a research technique I have used myself in the past but these days it is all I can to keep up with Achin's finds; no time to do any research myself! The photo Achim was working from [top left] is clearly old and shows the Futuro at a time when their were far fewer properties around. However despite the difference then till now in the degree of "urbanization" examining the area from the "aerial perspective" clearly shows this is one and the same Futuro; in particular the two pieces of land jutting out into the ocean behind the Futuro are clearly identifiable. Check out the "Street View" to the left. I have absolutely no information about this example. From the "aerial view" in Google Maps though the "object" was the right size it was difficult to be sure it was a Futuro. However the "Street View" [gotta love that] clearly shows a Futuro and, from what you can see, one that is well mainatined and in good condition. Google Earth indicates that the latest aerial imagery is dated 101110 so the Futuro was clearly on site at that time and there is nothing to suggest any subsequent move. Sources & Reference
Got new, updated or corrected information or an image I could use?
I am always looking for additional information, history, details, images, videos; just about anything Futuro I guess - if you would like to contribute please use the Futuro Contact Form at the bottom of the main article or email me. As far as images go I am particularly interested in those that are either significantly better than the ones already on this page or show a different aspect or detail. If you own an image meeting one or both of those criteria I would love to be able to use it on this page but I will simply provide a link if that is your preference. Where permission is granted to use an image on the page appropriate attribution will be provided by means of a link to the original image, a link to a website of your choosing or both. |
