Where the Harbour Meets Your Back Lawn
Opportunities on Matua’s prime waterfront edge are as rare as they are enduring. Holding a prized position directly on the harbour’s edge, this property - lovingly held in the same family for over 40 years - offers uninterrupted views across the water to Motuhoa, Matakana, and Rangiwaea Islands, the Omokoroa Peninsula, Mauao and the Kaimai Ranges. Launch your paddleboard or kayak right from the edge of your lawn or simply sit back and let the rhythm of the tides captivate you.
Positioned in one of Tauranga’s most coveted peninsula pockets, this property represents both an exceptional immediate lifestyle and an unmatched long-term land holding.
Key Property Features
· Irreplaceable 1,143m² (approx.) Flat Site: Expansive, level lawns extending to the water’s edge - an ideal, easy-access canvas for future outdoor entertaining or architectural expansion.
· An Ever-Changing Vista: Experience the tide as it rolls in and out, shifting the colours of the harbour from brilliant morning light to dramatic gold at twilight as the sun drops behind the Kaimai Ranges.
· Single-Level Brick Construction: A generous footprint featuring solid well-built brick construction. Easy single-level living makes this an ideal layout for active retirees, downsizers, or families seeking a single level layout.
· Large Garage & Workshop: A generous internal-access garage paired with a dedicated workshop space - ideal for tinkering, water toy storage or project work.
· Spacious Living & Updated Kitchen: A functional, well-proportioned interior featuring three double bedrooms, including a main bedroom with ensuite and family bathroom, plus a modernised kitchen - allowing you to move in comfortably or rent the home while you finalise plans.
· Direct Water Access: Feel the connection to the sea every day - step off your lawn for a peaceful morning paddle, track the birdlife across the exposed flats at low tide, or soak in the stillness of the harbour at high tide.
· Prime Matua Location: Minutes to Fergusson Park, local waterfront walking trails, top schooling, and the Tauranga CBD.
The Vision: Live, Modernise, or Build a Legacy
Whether you choose to enjoy the existing single-level home as-is, execute a high-end architectural renovation designed around those captivating views, or utilise the flat 1,143m² site to build a world-class waterfront sanctuary - the life you can create here is truly special. Waterfront land of this calibre in Matua is rarely released, offering an extraordinary opportunity to secure your family’s legacy.
