Nestled on tranquil and sought-after Braemar Road, this beautifully presented two-bedroom home offers rural charm and modern comfort.

Priced attractively at $725,000, this rare find is situated on a generous 2500-square-metre section of flat, fertile land, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking the serenity of country living.

The property’s location is exceptional, with Braemar Springs, a popular local watering hole, just a short distance away. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the Karaponga Old Hydro Dam and waterfall, a scenic hiking destination, while Onepū Community Park is located just 1 kilometre away,
offering fantastic walking and mountain biking tracks.

Families will love the convenience of being on the bus route for Otakiri School, with pick-up at the gate. A standout feature of this property is the picturesque Karaponga Stream, which meanders along the boundary.

An inviting porch wraps around two sides of the home, offering a perfect spot to relax and soak up the sunshine while enjoying the peaceful surroundings. From here, you can watch children or pets playing in the stream.

The home itself is impeccably maintained, with a spacious open-plan living area that serves as the heart of the residence.

Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light.

The ranchsliders provide easy access to the outdoor porch, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.

While the kitchen retains its original charm, it is functional and in excellent condition, featuring ample cabinetry, bench space, and a pantry. For those looking to add their personal touch, there is plenty of potential for a modern refresh at your leisure.

This cosy home is well-insulated and equipped with a heat pump, ensuring comfort year-round.

There are two bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate laundry add to the practicality of the layout. The single internal-access garage offers secure parking.

Surrounded by a tall hedge that provides privacy from the road, this property offers a peaceful country outlook, while still being close to neighbours for a sense of community. The land itself is a blank canvas, ready for you to develop into your dream rural retreat, whether that includes an orchard, vegetable gardens, shedding, sleep-out or more.

With its own water source from the stream and proximity to other centres – just 30km to Whakatane, 15km to Lake Rotoma, 56km to Rotorua, and 87km to Tauranga Airport – this property is an opportunity not to be missed.
