271 River Road, Kawerau, Bay Of Plenty

A great first home, an easy downsize, or a smart investment. Private, leafy and sitting comfortably on an 804sqm section, this River Road gem pairs classic solidity with bright, easy indoor–outdoor living.

Inside, the layout is wonderfully straightforward. A sun-soaked living room anchors the home, warmed by both a wood burner and a heat pump, with that big pointed front window beckoning the mountain & drawing in the greenery outside. The kitchen is fresh, tidy and practical - loads of storage, great bench space, and a seamless flow into the dedicated laundry. All three bedrooms are well-proportioned, each catching good natural light, with the larger room opening directly to the deck for an easy morning coffee moment. The bathroom and separate toilet keep family life humming without queues.

Where this property really shines is outdoors. The elevated timber deck is a natural gathering point - big enough for long lunches, shaded enough for evening unwinds, and overlooking a backyard that’s incredibly usable. Mature trees give privacy and dappled shade, open lawn invites trampolines or backyard cricket, and there’s plenty of scope for vege beds, a fruit grove, or simply letting the kids and pets run about. The standalone garage plus additional parking means there’s room for the trailer, tools and weekend projects, without cluttering your everyday.

Set back nicely from the street, the property enjoys a sense of calm while still being right where you want to be. River Road Reserve, the dog park, the hot pools, Kawerau South School, Tarawera High, town centre, supermarket, medical centre and sports grounds are all just a quick wander or short drive away. It’s a location locals favour for convenience, walkability and that friendly neighbourhood feel.

If you’ve been looking for a home that’s tidy, sunny, move-in ready and honest-to-goodness enjoyable to live in, this one deserves your time. This is a Quality Proposition that will not last! Contact Wayne Jackson 027 728 3355 to book your viewing.
