36 Manaia Road, Tairua, Thames-Coromandel, Waikato

Set discretely back on an 890m2 fully fenced, completely flat section you’ll be on one of the best and most desirable streets in town. Wander across the road and pop the kayak in the shallow harbour waters or stroll along the waterfront reserve to town in around 5 mins. There’s ample room with easy access (no navigating tricky, steep drives) for the boat, caravan and even another minor dwelling, holiday cabin for extended family, guests or teens.

This thoughtfully refurbished home has a spacious open plan kitchen-dining-lounge space overlooking the saltwater pool - great for keeping the family occupied all summer. We understand that not everyone may wish for a pool so we can remove it as part of the conditions of sale, opening up even more garden space for parking or extending.

The 2 large covered rear pergolas and expansive decking offer sheltered entertaining areas with an outdoor kitchen and space for a spa. A rear sleepout shed and outdoor shower is great for those extra guests. The 8m studio bedroom and covered patio has potential for BNB guests or could be split into two bedrooms. There’s two additional double bedrooms, one with an en-suite, laundry and w.c.

There’s a half garage (extendable) to the front with a roller door as well as: -4kw photovoltaic full solar system -new double glazing -mostly rewired/reclad -repainted and re-carpeted -new gas Califont and Metro woodburner
