40 Tahi Road, Ostend, Waiheke Island, Auckland Genuine family home, with rental potential

Time was when Tahi Road was nothing more than a track leading to farmland. Nowadays it's a good spot to be in.

The Ostend cafés, the supermarket, the shops, and the famous Saturday market are just down the road. Beaches and schools are a few minutes' drive away, and the property looks out over country views at the back.

This neat home has a lot to offer. Not only is it bathed in sun all day, there are 2+ good sized bedrooms, a tidy kitchen and even a peak of the sea from the open-plan living area. There's more space downstairs, too, for your visitors, your hobbies or your office.

Outside there's a large, private deck where you can eat out, entertain or just relax. And you've got 1012m2 to play with here. Plenty of room for fruit trees, raised vegetable gardens, or a flower garden if you want. On the other hand, the extensive lawn is perfect for the kids and your pets to run around on.

With a lock-up garage, heaps of room for a boat and parking for at least five vehicles, it's no wonder families have enjoyed growing up here. It would also make an excellent rental property, if you're looking for an investment.
