6A Taramea Rise

Interesting House. Complicated Story.

This is not a property for everyone " but for the right buyer, it could be a very worthwhile opportunity.

If you are looking for a large home with genuine potential, plenty of space and an opportunity to create something quite special, this substantial 280sqm (approx.) home deserves consideration. However, it is important that prospective purchasers understand from the outset that the property is being sold with direct fixed fibre cement sheet cladding and without a Code Compliance Certificate (CCC).

In 2024 both an Independent Builders Report and a CCC Investigation Report were undertaken, and the information available indicates that remedial work, including recladding, may be required to obtain a CCC. Prospective purchasers are strongly encouraged to undertake their own investigations and obtain independent legal, building and financial advice before making any offer.
Now, more about the house itself:

Built by the owner himself, the home was designed to provide separate yet connected living, making it an interesting proposition for families wanting space and independence under one roof.

The main living area enjoys a lovely outlook, with a generous open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, plus a bedroom and bathroom " providing comfortable, largely self-contained living.

The adjoining wing is separated by a firewall and offers three further bedrooms, a bathroom and its own open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, creating excellent flexibility for extended family, multi-generational living, guests, boarders or simply those wanting separation between living spaces.

A large double garage provides excellent parking and storage, with an adjoining workshop currently being used as a fifth bedroom, plus a third toilet.

The 842sqm (approx.) sloping section has plenty to offer, particularly for those who enjoy gardening, with established fruit trees, gardens and a greenhouse.

A delightful insulated and powered "she shed", complete with its own water supply, sits privately in a sunny spot. Use it as a craft room, studio, office, retreat " or simply somewhere to escape.

The absence of CCC and the nature of the required remedial work may make obtaining finance difficult, so this property is likely to appeal particularly to cash buyers, builders, experienced renovators or purchasers with the financial resources and appetite to undertake a substantial project. This is very much a case of buying with your eyes open.

It is a large home, with a versatile configuration, generous land and some lovely established features. There are some important considerations, and purchasers should be comfortable with these before proceeding. If you have been looking for a substantial property where you can see beyond the current situation and are prepared to take on the work, this is worth a closer look.
Buyers should carry out their own due diligence and satisfy themselves as to the condition of the property, CCC status, remedial requirements, insurability and financeability prior to purchase.
