Family friendly and room to grow!
It's the kind of home where everything just feels easy and comfortable. Living is centred on the upper level, where daily life happens, while downstairs takes care of the practical side of things with a large internal access garage, workshop, and plenty of storage.
Upstairs, the lounge is a great space to relax, with a fireplace for the cooler months and plenty of natural light. The adjoining sunroom provides another spot to unwind, while additional space off the living area offers flexibility for a home office, hobby room, reading nook, or second sitting area.
The kitchen is a real family sized space, with a sunny outlook, generous bench space, and room for more than one person to be cooking at once. There's easy flow to the dining area and deck, making it ideal for everything from busy weekday breakfasts to family dinners and catching up with friends.
All three bedrooms are doubles, providing comfortable accommodation for family or guests. The bathroom has been updated and features a spa bath, excellent storage, and a modern finish.
Downstairs, the basement garage offers internal access along with a workshop area and plenty of room for tools, bikes, outdoor gear, or ongoing projects.
Outside, the section has plenty to offer. There are fruit trees, a vegetable garden, room for children and pets to play, and a sheltered barbecue area that's perfect for entertaining. From here, you can sit back and enjoy awesome views towards Putauaki.
There's plenty to do close by as well, you're close to schools, parks, walkways, and the golf course.
This is a home that offers space, flexibility, and what it takes to make everyday life that little bit easier.
Kawerau offers a relaxed lifestyle with Whakatane, Rotorua, and the wider Bay of Plenty all within an easy drive.

How we worked this out
| Council valuation, Aug 2024 | $435,000 |
|---|---|
| Market movement in Kawerau District since the council valuation | +4.6% |
| Apartments and houses in Kawerau District | +0.6% |
| Homes of this age in Kawerau | +0.6% |
| Homes in this price range | −0.4% |
| Land as a share of the value | −0.6% |
| Nearby recent sales (15) | +2.0% |
| Its own sale in 2020 | +1.3% |
| Our estimate | $472,000 |
We start from the council's rating valuation, move it by how sales in the area have moved since against their own council values, then by how properties like this one, nearby sales and its own last sale have done against the same arithmetic. Each step is an average of real sales. Tested every month against sales we had not seen: half land within about 6% of our estimate, and about 8 in 10 within the range. This is an automated estimate, not a registered valuation.

Unclaimed
Nobody is tracking this property yet
If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.
Free. Takes about a minute.
We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.
What claiming gets you
1One live recordCouncil valuation, title details and registered interests, kept current rather than gathered again every time you need them.
2Your lending in the pictureAdd what you owe, or connect the bank, and the equity and LVR stop being a calculation you redo by hand.
3Providers compete for itPut the mortgage, the insurance and the power out to people who want the business — on your terms, when you ask.
4Everything else you ownOne search finds other titles in your name and in companies you are a director of.
Zoning and hazards
What the council's published maps say about this land. A map is a model of a storm, not a record of one: a LIM or a flood report says more.

What could you build here?
See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
