289 Waitaha Road, Welcome Bay, Tauranga & Surrounds

Make magic memories and unlock the potential

Imagine views across Tauranga city to Mt Maunganui, with Mayor, Motiti, Matakana and Karewa islands standing proudly above the deep, blue, Pacific Ocean. Then realising the potential redevelopment of the land and or buildings, all set in what can only be described as, beautifully manicured private oasis.
Imagine the children splashing in the pool, playing backyard cricket or football on the large flat field, that in another life was a tennis court, and could be again.
Or imagine entertaining family and friends all year around, either outside in the tree clad, park-like grounds, or in front of the fire in the large open plan lounge, kitchen and dining, while the children are entertaining themselves in the family room at the other end of the house.
Imagine no longer, the opportunity is now, and it is an incredible 48 years since the last time this desirable property was available for purchase.

There are many very good reasons why the current vendors have stayed so long and two excellent reasons why there will be high buyer interest in owning this property.

One is the home, situated on 4282sqm (more or less), which has been for many years the focal point for a larger farm property. The combination of a modernized country home, and a land package, with multiple recreational and hobby use options, comes together as an exceptional lifestyle package for families and retirees alike, making it a great opportunity for extended family living.

The second is the opportunity to redevelop part of the home and or subdivide and still retain the house, garaging, carports, pool and the approximately 2000 sqm (more or less) of manicured grounds and gardens.

Whether subdivided or not, there are several stylish features about this property that contribute to its wrap-around semi-rural charm.

The first is obvious to the eye.
At the highest sheltered land point is the imposing family residence, which has been there since the 1940s.
The solid timber house is typical of many farm homesteads with a major focus on space with large living areas, where the call for family gatherings around the kitchen table and winter fireplace have long appealed.
At ground level the home is dominated by a spacious family kitchen and dining room, with a north facing lounge that also takes in those breath-taking views. A view that is captivating, both by day and by night.
At the other end of the house is a second lounge or family/TV room, which not only enjoys the same views, but also offers an awesome teenage retreat within easy access from two large bedrooms.
The accommodation has a spacious upstairs area for privacy with the main bedroom, ensuite, walk-in wardrobe and large work from home office and balcony. In total five bedrooms, four of which enjoy a northerly, sunny aspect and those ‘to die for' views.
Unlike the ground floor, there is no denying that this area will need some work.

Over time there have been obvious upgrades within the house to increase lifestyle convenience making for a warm, sunny, bright and inviting home.
Off from the living area is an opening to a deep wrap-around outdoor dining and recreational deck, with views out over the pool and beyond.
The aged appeal of the home is one of its major charms. Interior features include a generous spread of rimu and cedar trim with polished matai flooring and a feature-stained glass entry.

A short, covered distance from the house is a large, modern, double carport for day-to-day cars, with large lock-up storage. Another generous carport and storage are off to the side of the main five car garage. The garage has the capacity for the boat and or camper van and workshop if required.
The land area has its own charming spots. One is the gently winding tree-lined drive for 60 meters from the quiet Waitaha road to the house. Closer to the home, the recreational focus is the large, flat lawn, vegetable garden, five mature avocados, fruit trees and a traditional kidney-shaped inground swimming pool, which is watched over from the house and decks. An idyllic playground for young and old.

The elevation enjoyed by this property boasts majestic views, but it's the charm, character, practicality, redevelopment potential of the property and genuinely realistic vendors, that makes this property a must to view, by anyone who appreciates genuine opportunity.
