Personality, privacy and potential - the trifecta!

Introducing something genuinely special in Maungatapu - a property where land, lifestyle and opportunity come together in a way that's becoming incredibly rare.

Set on an exceptionally large section (approx. 6,108sqm) this property enjoys direct riparian rights 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!

For those with toys, a business, or big hobbies, you're covered! Extra large, fully 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.

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, that arguably could become a sixth bedroom, there's room for everyone. The master bedroom, modern ensuite and walk-in wardrobe have been added, but the rest is original and ready for the new owners flair.

The land itself is a standout. There's the possibility of a building platform at the lower level, expansive gardens, and lots of ambling walkways that lead you through established greenery and down toward the harbour's edge, to hidden nooks or to the propagation house. It's peaceful, private, and full of places to entertain, unwind, or simply enjoy the view. Our vendors 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.

With a private driveway, elevated harbour and rural views, great 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 that suits you when you are ready.

Our vendors are ready to let go of their forever home, but take with them years of family moments and memories. Properties with this level of land, access and opportunity don't come along often in Tauranga so this is a must see!
