Located just 16 kilometres from Tauranga Crossing off SH 36, with easy access to Tauranga’s key arterial routes, the property delivers the best of both worlds: relaxed country living without compromising connectivity.

Set on just over 3 hectares of flat, highly usable land, the property is perfectly suited to a range of lifestyle pursuits. Whether it’s running a few cattle, keeping horses, or embracing a more self-sufficient way of living, the land is well set up with six sheltered paddocks, mature fruit trees, and ample room to establish vegetable gardens and raise chickens.

The home sits centrally on the property, enhancing both privacy and practicality while enjoying views across the surrounding land and native bush, with glimpses toward Omokoroa & Major Island from select vantage points. Constructed in brick and partially renovated to a high standard, the home provides a solid platform for new owners to complete and personalise. Inside, open-plan living creates a warm and inviting hub, complemented by three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Year-round comfort is assured with both a fireplace and heat pump.

Supporting improvements further enhance the property’s appeal. A freestanding double garage includes a versatile workshop space with potential for conversion into additional accommodation or work-from-home use. A substantial shed provides excellent storage for implements, recreational equipment, horses, or hay, adding real functionality to the block.

Flat, sheltered, and easy to manage, this is a property that offers genuine lifestyle flexibility. With space to grow, scope to add value, and a highly convenient location, 61 Dekker Road represents an increasingly rare opportunity to secure a quality lifestyle holding on the fringe of Tauranga.

Architectural elegance meets equestrian excellence

Privately positioned in the heart of Ararimu, this exceptional 9.5ha (more or less) lifestyle estate delivers a rare combination of architectural sophistication, resort-style living, and premium equestrian facilities.

Originally rebuilt in 2006/2007 and designed by award-winning Auckland architects Cook Sargisson and Pirie, the home is a striking example of timeless design. Cedar weatherboard, schist detailing, and clean architectural lines create an immediate sense of quality, while inside, warm American Oak finishes and thoughtfully curated spaces elevate everyday living.

This substantial residence offers a large four-bedroom layout complemented by a study and a dedicated music/library room, along with three bathrooms and a separate powder room, ensuring both space and functionality for modern family living.
At its heart, the beautifully appointed kitchen blends functionality with refined style, featuring American Oak cabinetry, soft-close drawers and cupboards, a premium Franke sink, Fisher And Paykel gas hobs, two new ovens, and a new dishwasher. A generous scullery-style pantry enhances practicality, making this a space perfectly suited to both everyday living and entertaining.

Multiple living areas flow effortlessly, with the family dining and living zones positioned as the central hub of the home. A custom American Oak cavity slider door provides separation between these spaces and the formal dining and lounge area, allowing for both open-plan living and the ability to create more intimate, defined spaces when desired.

Comfort is assured year-round with underfloor heating across the tiled laundry, kitchen, informal dining, and family living areas. This is complemented by Slimflow gas-fuelled radiators, with two units positioned downstairs and one in the upstairs hallway. Practical features such as a three-car internal access garage with Tesla charging and excellent storage further enhance everyday living.

The formal dining area is beautifully enhanced by a bespoke, handmade drop Brush light designed by renowned Dutch lighting designers Brand Van Egmond, creating a striking focal point over the dining table. The formal lounge is anchored by a Jetmaster fireplace, delivering a warm and inviting setting for entertaining.
