Overview

Packed with personality and potential ...

This is a genuinely special property where land, lifestyle and opportunity come together in a way that's becoming incredibly rare, but also brings a sense of nostalgia to so many! Set on an exceptionally large section (approx. 6,108sqm) this property enjoys direct access onto the Tauranga Harbour, a privilege few properties can offer. From here, you have access to the water, with the potential for a jetty, and room to explore further options such as a pool, office, tiny home, or additional dwelling, all subject to council approval of course! The home is original 1970s and proudly so, lovingly built by our skilled owner using natural timbers, bespoke fixtures and a stunning stone fireplace that anchors the rumpus room with warmth and character. It's retro, it's authentic, and it's packed with personality. Featuring five bedrooms and an office, there's room for everyone! The land itself is a standout. There's lots of ambling walkways that lead you through established gardens down toward the harbour's edge, to hidden nooks, the sheds or to the propagation house. It's peaceful, private, and full of places to entertain, unwind, or simply enjoy the view. The family have loved growing up here, and it was always the lively hub of the neighbourhood and a popular place for all their friends to hang out, run around and play. For those with toys, a business, or big hobbies, you're covered! Extra large, consented sheds and workshops, plus extensive parking for extra vehicles, boats, motorhomes, and those collectibles. This is a property that you'd normally find in the country, but conveniently it's ever so close to schools, shops, local beaches, the city, and all its awesome amenities With a private driveway, elevated harbour and rural views, established gardens, incredible outdoor areas, and unmatched potential, this is a property that invites interest from everyone and anyone, whether you're looking to enjoy it as is, DIY, renovate, or create something that suits you when you are ready.
