Overview

Peaceful Outlook, Practical Potential in Kawerau

Set right across from a park with river walks and beautiful views, this property is full of potential and ready for someone to bring it to life. Positioned on a generous section, this larger home offers three bedrooms, including a master with ensuite. There's a separate lounge with a woodfire to keep things cosy through winter. The large kitchen and dining area give you plenty of space to work with, and two of the bedrooms open out to a private back deck. It's a great spot to relax, catch the sun, or enjoy the quiet surroundings. With classic stone cladding, a separate single garage, and a layout that just makes sense, this home has good bones. It does need a handyman's vision and touch, but the rewards will be well worth the effort. The location is a real highlight, with a park and river just across the road. Walks, views, and green space are right on your doorstep. Whether you're a first home buyer, investor, or someone keen to roll up your sleeves, this one is worth a look. The vendors are motivated and ready to hear your offer. Don't miss this opportunity. Call me today and let me show you through the home. Discover Life in Kawerau At the foot of Mt. Putauaki, Kawerau is all about easy living and being handy to so much nature. There's swimming or fishing in the Tarawera River, soaking in the (free!) hot pools, or walks and hikes to local waterfalls and reserves. You really should see Tarawera Falls, a 30 minute drive and an easy walk after. You've also got a friendly golf club, great sports facilities, and events like the Woodskills Festival that bring the community together. Weekend adventures are right on your doorstep, plenty of places to hunt or mountain bike and Rotorua's lakes and the Eastern Bay beaches are all within easy reach.
