For 30 years, one family has had this lovely corner of Tairua to call their own. Now it could be your place to gather on the deck, watch the water and leave the afternoon unplanned. Elevated above the road on a sunny 809m² section, this two-bedroom, one-bathroom home looks across reserve land towards the Pepe Estuary. The 70m² house has been well maintained and tastefully renovated throughout, with a new roof among the improvements.

The light-filled living room opens to the dining area and new eat-in kitchen, so you can keep chatting while dinner takes shape. White cabinetry, good bench space and a wide window give the kitchen a fresh, airy feel. New carpet and flooring tie the rooms together, while a heat pump keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer. The separate laundry has its own door to the rear porch.

Both bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and the master bedroom opens to its own deck with an estuary outlook. Leave the doors open on a warm day and settle in with a book. The second bedroom gives you options for kids, guests or a home office, while the bathroom has updated fittings, a glass shower, vanity and toilet. The foyer links these rooms with the main living areas and the front porch.

The dining area opens onto the larger deck, with room for long lunches and a table full of friends as the kids play on the lawn. The flat, usable grounds have mature trees and a garden shed, plus ample off-street parking for family vehicles and boats and room to pitch tents over summer. Enjoy the land as it is, or investigate whether it could accommodate a future extension or development, subject to due diligence and council approval.

Tairua’s shops, cafés, wharf and Pepe Loop Track are within easy reach, while Ocean Beach and the Paku summit walk add to the coastal lifestyle. On the market for the first time in many years, this could be your holiday base or year-round home. Call Adam Fuller to arrange your viewing of 40 Pepe Road.
