142 Main Road Makaraka, Gisborne District

If you've ever watched one of those reno shows and thought, "that looks easy!" - well, this might be your moment of truth.

Welcome to Makaraka, where the land is valuable, the house is... well, present, and the potential is off the charts (along with your future blood pressure, possibly). This is one of the cheapest entries into the area - and for good reason. What's here needs work. Like, serious work. But if you've got the vision, the tools, and a decent relationship with your local hardware store, you might just strike gold.

Here's what we know:

It's in an F4 flood overlay zone - so yes, you'll need to meet minimum build height rules.

There's a Section 36(2) notice on the title - so do your homework.

There's a Versatile garage built to habitable spec (back in the day), and some add-ons were tacked on around 2005.

Mains water appears to be connected, there's a little water tank, and a septic mushroom is poking its head up - though that one's not in the council file (good luck?).

This could be your dream project - or the story you tell at BBQs about "that one time I bought a house..." The current owners have moved on and want it gone.

So - do you have the heart, humour, and maybe a good builder on speed dial?
