What's around 52 Stewart Road

Easy Country Living with Huge Potential

Tucked away in sought-after Whakamarama, a short drive from Tauranga, this century old charmer offers an exciting but rare opportunity for first home buyers, young builders or entry level lifestylers wanting the space and privacy that comes from rural living. This near 100 year old Kauri villa was moved onto the elevated north facing site more than a decade ago by the current owners and offers the perfect opportunity for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy the tranquil beauty of nature. The 1657sqm (approx.) section offers wide harbour and valley views and an easily manageable lifestyle landholding that provides ample space for gardening, outdoor activities and creating your own oasis without being burdensome. The dwelling itself is absolutely brimming with the sort of character features you’d expect in a house of this era – wrap around verandah, native timber floors, high stud ceiling and ample room to add an ensuite. Big ticket items such as the main bathroom, roof and wiring have been done. But there’s no disguising the fact it needs someone to complete the renovation project - are you the buyer prepared to roll up your sleeves and make this villa shine again? Practical infrastructure makes the property as functional as it is character filled. Features include a detached 28sqm (approx.) character studio that would be the ideal teen sleepout, separate garaging, carport and workshop space, kids’ playhouse, greenhouse and a chicken coop with single inhabitant. The diverse range of fruit trees includes citrus, feijoa and plums. With the owners’ decision to move on, we’re looking for a new owner with vision as this property has opportunity written all over it – an awesome lifestyle project in one of Tauranga's most sought-after rural locations.
