Say I Do to Country Lifestyle with Income...

While you are enjoying the seclusion of your home and immediate grounds, couples can be saying I do in the beautiful gardens and wedding venue below. This 2,1018ha property has been developed as a wedding venue with full resource consent.

Property:
Should you want to expand and host other functions, or perhaps create a café or similar the ground work has been done. One of the two entries to the property turns into a hedge surrounded car park for 40 cars. It is a delightful walk through the garden to the marquee area. You can almost see a bride arriving under the rose arbour and admire both formal and relaxed settings where a ceremony might take place, and where photos will look fabulous. The entire lower lawn is surrounded by high shelter and overlooked by a canopy of towering mature trees - copper beech, magnolia, black tulip to name a few - so your clients can be sure of privacy to enjoy their celebration. This is a venue well deserving of the name Ambiance for the atmosphere it creates.

The wedding business operates through the summer months with up to 18 weddings in a busy season. There are forward bookings to 2012.

The beauty of this property is that while the grounds earn you extra income you retain your own home domain so family life can continue uninterrupted. This family have lived there nearly ten years, and as well as a huge amount of work creating what is now an easily maintained garden for functions, have also dramatically upgraded and extended the 1960s summit brick and weatherboard home.

The kitchen and all three bedrooms open to patio or deck along the east side, lovely for morning sun. An extension of the home to enlarge the master bedroom suite has been done in keeping with the home, with painted timber French doors to the private walled end of the outdoor space. The modern kitchen is part of an open plan area with dining space beside it, then a large lounge with more French doors to the west deck shaded by one of the magnificent beech trees. Beams support high ceilings including those of a very wide windowed hall which accesses all the bedrooms and both beautifully modernized bathrooms. The en suite allows you the luxury of double shower, double vanity and even a double towel rail.

The large internal access upper garage is augmented by two garages and a workshop beside the ample basement which includes the third toilet and laundry. Other implements can be housed in a shed in the rear paddock.

Location:
Few regions in New Zealand or the world for that matter have as much to offer as the Bay of Plenty. From the gentle harbour waters to its surf beaches, its fishing and diving grounds to the scenic bush, the Bay is as much a quiet recreational playground as it is a thriving business and rural community.

Key economic elements for the region include Tourism, Horticulture (predominately Kiwifruit and Avocado production), Viticulture, Pastoral farming, Forestry, Housing and Holiday Makers. The rapid growth in the area provides a vibrant living environment from job opportunities to business prospects with a sustainable future.

Tauranga as a city is one of the fastest, if not fastest growing cities in New Zealand. With a mixture of beautiful scenery, great beaches, cafes, restaurants and nightspots it is more than a city it is a lifestyle. The award winning schools also provide a key reason why Tauranga is proving to be such an attractive destination for both ex Kiwi's and migrants as a place to set up their new life in New Zealand.

Being on the main road of Pyes Pa it is ideal for the business and easy commute to Rotorua if need be. Around 15 minutes to the CBD this is country living with the luxuries of the city close by. Even closer is the new development The Lakes which in the future will provide a full array of services. With a well regarded primary school in the area and the school bus going past the gate you will be impressed with the education options
