Riverside views lifestyle retreat

Wake each morning to sweeping Waipapa River views and the soundtrack of native birdsong from this elevated three-bedroom two bathroom lifestyle property.

The heart of the home is a beautifully styled Hampton-inspired kitchen with a generous walk-in pantry, flowing effortlessly to open-plan dining and lounge spaces. Expansive wrap-around Kwila decking captures the breathtaking outlook, while a covered BBQ area sets the scene for long summer evenings with family and friends.

The master suite, complete with walk-in wardrobe and modern ensuite, is thoughtfully positioned away from the other two bedrooms, creating your own private retreat.

For versatility, the home offers three separate lounges: a cosy snug with a freestanding fire, a spacious second living zone for relaxing or entertaining, and a third multi-purpose lounge at the far end of the home, perfect as a media room, studio, or utility space.

Outdoors, the 4,100sqm grounds are a gardeners paradise, boasting 15 thriving avocado trees, several raised garden beds, a mix of citrus trees and a 6.4 x 2.6m glasshouse for year-round harvests.

A separate 9 x 6m garage provides workshop and storage space for the car or other toys, while a "Pod Life" office with hyper fibre makes working from home effortless.

One of the true highlights is the propertys legal access to the pristine riverside esplanade below. Here youll find sparkling ponds nicely planted and alive with birdlife, a jetty and boat ramp for launching the jet ski or kayak into the Waipapa River which leads into the Tauranga Harbour. The perfect picnic spot while the kids swim or bomb off the jetty.
