‘Christlewood’, a Vintage Country Villa
6490m2 gently sloping secluded tree clad grounds.
180m2 four-bedroom villa melds original and additions
40 mature avocado trees for supplementary income
Scope to enhance property or love it as it is
Five minutes to Bethlehem, near Tauranga and Mount.
A rare original in a shady orchard with instant appeal to lovers of genuine country character.
The soothing serenity of arriving home to your sanctuary, drifting through the French doors with wine in hand to savour it on the veranda, while the evening settles around you. Or a popular party place when family and friends share your orchard surrounded villa where groups can gravitate to the covered barbeque and pizza oven, to the huge kitchen, either of two lounges, the sun room or that wide veranda wrapping the north side. Teens may escape to the sleepout or studio (where you may have established that long-awaited craft or art room and set up the bedroom and bathroom to accommodate overflow quests); younger kids happily playing on paths under the shady canopy of some 40 mature, income producing, avocado trees or in the tree hut up the ancient pohutukawa.
Though substantially added to since the original owner built it by hand from Tauriko rough sawn timber in the early 1900s this character homestead retains its lofty stud, panelled ceilings, native timber floors, bay sash windows, but also offers exceptional family space with four large bedrooms inside plus the versatile sleepout. Reminiscent of the French farmhouse style of living where conventional perfection is not the goal; you'll find scope to add your vintage or contemporary touches and create an enviably laid back life so near Bethlehem, an easy 15 minutes to Tauranga and (depending on the traffic) 20 or 25 to downtown Mount Maunganui and the beach.

JEREMY PRYOR Profile:
“Real estate is more about the relationships I build than the property I sell. This business is all about people and it is my aim to exceed the expectations of the people who place their trust in me.”

He has committed himself to knowing his market and to providing an honest approach to meeting clients’ needs in an ever-changing real estate environment. His expertise has been applied to the sale of farms, orchards, lifestyle and urban residential properties, many in the prestigious premium sector.

Jeremy has carved out a niche for himself as an enthusiastic straight-talking agent who gets the job done, and is not above having some fun. His reputation ensures nearly all his business comes from referrals and repeat clients.
Evidence of his success includes the highest awards both locally and nationally for his achievements in real estate and contributing to the accolades awarded to the team he worked with. However, it is the positive testimonials from his clients that he values most.
Jeremy Pryor sees the transition to Sotheby’s as the right step in an evolving career. “It is exciting to be part of the establishment of an international brand in the Bay of Plenty real estate scene, one that is bringing youth and energy to our environment, appreciating the way technology influences the way we do business today.
