83 Maraetotara Road, Ohope, Whakatane

A rare find in the heart of Otakiri Tucked behind a neatly trimmed hedge in one of Otakiri's most sought-after lifestyle subdivisions, 36 Hogbin Road offers something you won't find very often - a genuine, established point of difference alongside an immaculately presented, easy-care property. Set on just under 0.8 hectares (2 acres) of flat, free-draining land with a favourable north facing orientation, this property is fully hedged on every boundary, giving you privacy, shelter, and a real sense of arrival as you come off Hogbin Road. You're surrounded by other well-presented lifestyle properties in an established and private, settled community. A tidy, low-maintenance cottage The two-bedroom cottage at the heart of the property is neat, tidy and clearly well loved. A central kitchen adjoins both a dining and lounge area, with the bathroom, toilet, laundry and bedrooms completing the layout. Raised on a solid concrete base, this "easy care" home could be your "transitional accommodation" while building your new home, or is perfect as it is for those wanting lifestyle living without the upkeep of a large dwelling. The point of difference: An established rose hydrosol enterprise What truly sets this property apart is what lies behind the shelter cloth - approximately 3,000 square meters given over to an estimated 400 Damascena rose plants. Prized for their exceptional fragrance and hydrosol-producing qualities, Damascena roses are the variety behind some of the world's most sought-after perfumes and skincare products. A multi-room shed supports the established hydrosol process and provides for ample storage of other essential items. Whether you're drawn to continuing this niche enterprise, scaling it back to a hobby garden, or simply enjoying the beauty of the immaculately maintained rose plantings, this is an opportunity rarely seen in the Eastern Bay of Plenty lifestyle market. Presentation you can trust Every corner of this property - from the trimmed hedge lines to the tidy shedding to the rows upon rows of roses - reflects genuine pride of ownership. This is a property that has been consistently well cared for, not one that needs a project list before you can enjoy it. Don't miss this one Properties offering a genuine, established point of difference like this simply don't come up often. Whether your interest is to build a new home, hobby-farming, or simple low stress living, complete with a unique hydrosol enterprise of your own, 36 Hogbin Road deserves your attention.
