179 Ballance Street, Whataupoko, Gisborne, Gisborne

Discover a thoughtful blend of modern design, privacy, and outdoor potential with this three-bedroom, two-storey home set on a sun-drenched 4,500sqm section in one of Whataupoko’s most sought-after locations. Framed by mature trees and rolling hills, the setting offers exceptional serenity and sweeping rural views. The home itself is cleverly designed, with a compact and efficient interior that maximises light, comfort, and functionality. The positioning for the sun and solar panels to provide power, along with the woodburner for heating in the winter, give this property the makings for being partially off grid. Open-plan living spaces are filled with natural light, complemented by contemporary finishes and seamless indoor–outdoor flow. Every room enjoys a connection to the surrounding landscape, creating a calm and welcoming atmosphere ideal for everyday living or relaxed entertaining. Step outside and the scale of the property truly reveals itself. The expansive grounds provide ample space to create and develop, whether that’s gardens, play areas, or additional outdoor living zones. One shipping container will remain on the property (with the option for two), offering exciting potential for storage, a studio, workshop, or future creative projects. Enjoy long summer days by the pool, dining and BBQs beneath the wisteria, or simply relaxing on the wide open lawn while shaping the land to suit your vision. All of this is just moments from Central School, Waiteata Park, and the cafés and shops of Ballance Street Village—offering the perfect balance of convenience, privacy, and room to grow. The vendors have decided on their next move and will listen to the market
