A strong kiwi dream has always been to own a small lifestyle block, located close to the city to get the benefit of country living, but utilising city amenities. Here is an entry level opportunity that will have you living the dream. It is not a palace, but it has the potential to be.

This solid family-friendly home boasts a thoughtful layout with plenty of space and flexibility. Upstairs, the open-plan lounge, dining, and kitchen flow effortlessly to a sunny deck with captivating views to Mount Maunganui and the Inner harbour. A covered porch leads to a private, paved courtyard—ideal for entertaining or relaxing—with a charming sleepout nearby, complete with its own facilities for guests or extended family. The upper level also features a spacious master bedroom with ensuite, a well-proportioned second bedroom, and a family bathroom.

Downstairs, a versatile rumpus room—currently used as a third bedroom—comes with an ensuite and separate toilet, making it perfect for a guest suite, media room, or home office.

The outdoors are a dream for gardeners, playful children and those seeking self-sustainability. Established gardens, raised vegetable beds, fruit trees, a chicken coop, garden sheds and a glasshouse create a productive and serene environment. Additional features include a large implement shelter and ample parking space for campers and boats.

While the unconsented works might seem daunting, they offer a rare opportunity to secure this solid home and lifestyle block at an accessible price. With vision and effort, you can add significant value and turn this property into your dream home.

Zoned for sought-after schools, including Omokoroa No.1 School (decile 10) and Tauranga’s top colleges, the property is conveniently located near Omokoroa Beach Village boatramp, amentities, and scenic cycleways and walking paths.
