Smart buying here for the first home buyer on a budget.

Located in the Te Karaka township, an easy half an hour from Gisborne. Situated on a fenced and flat 925 sqm section with walnut, feijoa and plum trees, perfect for the kids to roam, climb and enjoy.

1980's build means low-maintenance exterior and aluminium joinery. With open plan living and dining with freestanding woodfire, leading out to the sunny front deck, three bedrooms with good wardrobes and separate bathroom and toilet. Some cosmetic improvements will go a long way to add value and appeal.

Although slightly country at heart, the township has reticulated water and sewerage, and you are located only moments from Te Karaka Area School, the very popular Rangatira Tavern and local health centre.

Vacant and boarded for security, this is being sold "As is, where is", this nonetheless represents a fantastic opportunity for a first home buyer or investor to secure a tidy property at an affordable price.
