Why they chose this property
When we decided it was time to buy a bach we had a set of criteria that we had to match. No easy feat.
After several years to travelling in all directions from Auckland in search of the ideal spot, we were giving up hope. On another visit to the Coromandel we were passing through Tairua and noticed a board for a sub-division. We decided to have a look at this and as we entered the private estate saw this section. It was exactly what we were looking for. We went straight in and bought it. Easiest commission that agent has ever earned, he never lifted a finger.
It took about three years for us to design and build our piece of heaven.

What makes this property unique
The easy access to the Tairua village and all of its facilities was an attraction. We loved the outlook and the fact that we could enjoy a wilderness experience out the back door. Enjoy an easy kayak paddle up the Pepe Stream past farmland and native bush.
