Tauriko, Tauranga

Tucked quietly at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac and perched above the Wairoa River, this remarkable riverside property offers a level of calm and privacy that is increasingly hard to find. Surrounded by nature and removed from through-traffic, the setting is alive with the gentle sounds of birdsong — native and water birds frequent the riverbanks — creating an atmosphere that immediately slows the pace and invites you to breathe a little deeper.Spanning a generous 4,085sqm, the land is the true standout. Elevated river views stretch wide and uninterrupted, while established outdoor spaces invite days spent swimming, kayaking, fishing, or simply watching the river meander past as birdlife glides across the water. It’s a property designed for space, stillness, and a deep connection to the natural environment.A light-filled two-bedroom cottage sits comfortably within the landscape, positioned to maximise the river outlook from almost every room. Expansive decks create natural gathering points for quiet mornings accompanied by birdsong, long lunches, and evenings spent soaking in the peaceful surroundings — always with the river and its ever-changing wildlife as your backdrop.Beyond the lifestyle on offer today, the property also holds future promise. A flat rear portion of land provides scope to explore expansion or a potential new build over time (subject to due diligence), offering flexibility without compromising the integrity of this tranquil setting.Despite its sense of seclusion, the location is exceptionally well connected. The Lakes, Tauranga Crossing, the city centre, and key Waikato routes are all within easy reach, making this a rare position where privacy and accessibility coexist effortlessly. For those seeking a truly special piece of riverfront land — private, peaceful, and rich with native birdlife — this Tauriko retreat is something genuinely unique.This is not just a home; it’s a way of living.Boundaries are indicative
