1338 Papamoa Beach Road, Papamoa, Tauranga & Surrounds

Raised for the view

Some homes whisper. This one exhales.

Positioned tall and proud on an elevated 837sqm (more or less) freehold site at the quieter end of Papamoa Beach Road, this is the kind of place where shoes are optional and time slows to the rhythm of the tide. Mature trees frame the boundary, the lawn stretches wide and fully fenced for kids and pets, and the dunes and ocean roll out in front like your own ever-changing landscape.

The home unfolds over three levels, embracing light and outlook at every turn. Life centres around the second level, where open-plan kitchen, dining and living run the full width of the home, wrapped in glass and sunshine. Recently updated, the kitchen is fresh and practical, anchored by a central island that invites casual meals and easy conversation. Ranch sliders open to a large, elevated deck where mood shifts fully into holiday mode - sun-soaked, spacious, and made for long lunches, evening barbecues, and watching the light fade over the dunes.

Two bedrooms and a family bathroom sit privately to the rear of this level, alongside a second living room that's perfect for guests, teenagers, or simply somewhere to retreat with a book when the house is full. Built-in storage keeps things easy and uncluttered.

Upstairs, the master suite claims its own retreat, capturing the kind of perspective that reminds you why you chose the beach in the first place. Generous in size with its own ensuite and balcony, it captures sweeping views from the Papamoa Hills across to Maketu and out to the sparkling Pacific. It's a vantage point that feels both expansive and deeply peaceful.

Salt and sand are just moments away on jandal-clad feet with the chilly bin in tow, while an easy stroll or two minutes in the car will take you to local favourite Henry and Ted for Sunday brunch, Papa Mo's for an afternoon brew and acoustic tunes, or Four Square supermarket for a quick kitchen stock up when unexpected guests pop by after a day at the beach.

A single garage anchors the ground level, while the full site offers space for backyard cricket, tents on the lawn, or future ideas still taking shape. Whether you're searching for a family home or a classic coastal base, this is a property that invites you to switch off, settle in, and stay awhile.

Elevated, easy-going, and grounded in that unmistakable old-school beach energy - this is coastal living without the noise.
