REQUEST FREE APPRAISALCombine a dream location, lofty position and incredible harbour views and 30 Rutherford Street is an opportunity that is seldom available. Set on 761sqm (approx.) in a sought-after, upmarket neighbourhood, this elevated mid-century weatherboard and concrete block home enjoys an absolute premium setting perched high above the sparkling Tauranga Harbour. Well maintained and full of character, it offers a range of exciting options - renovate to create your dream home or explore redevelopment, with the site having been previously consented for subdivision. The existing 1950s home provides a generous layout that reflects the charm of its era. Downstairs garaging and ample storage adds practicality and versatility. But it's the outlook and location that truly sets this property apart - breathtaking views across the water to Mauao, Matakana Island and beyond both from inside the home and from the expansive wrap-around decking that is vast, usable and private, making it perfect for barbecues, long lunches and weekends spent with the doors wide open. Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, properties of this scale and calibre are strictly limited. Whether you dream of expanding the existing home, enjoying it as is or exploring new construction possibilities, the options here in one of Tauranga's most tightly held communities are many. A world class view and endless potential in an exceptional setting make this a property that will reward you for years to come. Sale deadline Wednesday October 28th, 2026 (unless sold prior).
