1 Waimata Road, Whataupoko, Gisborne, 4010, New Zealand

With a glance of the rural vista, free-range chooks scooting across the backyard, and a sizeable vege patch, you’ll get the feels of living the semi-rural dream in the suburbs – maybe a mini self-sufficient lifestyle holds some appeal?

This surprise package is nestled in Waimata Road, Whataupoko; and is an urban retreat for those that are seeking peace and privacy in a prime location.

Set secretly away once discovered you won’t want to leave. First impressions “it’s a classic 1950s weatherboard construction, tried and true”…it’s not until you reach the front door that this home really comes into its own.

Spacious open plan living, incorporating a big family kitchen, all effortlessly flowing out to a North facing sheltered patio deck and backyard.
