Sophisticated home plus an apartment, great grounds, tidy paddocks, tall tawa, tempt to the country.
When these city people decided to embrace country life their aim was to create an environment conducive to relaxation and rejuvenation, where they could only work on the property when it gave them pleasure, not all weekend! So, they sectioned off a city size portion of the 1.15 ha block for the home and grounds and let the animals, their two horses and a couple of sheep, 'mow' the rest.
They built a beautifully appointed Signature home which wraps a covered patio from where they can sit by the very effective corten steel outdoor fire with a wine and gaze across paddocks dotted with beautiful tall tawa trees referencing the bush that borders Sarona Park and the Omanawa Gorge which drops dramatically over the top fence.
Not only did they create a sophisticated home for themselves but incorporated a stylish completely self-contained apartment privately situated off the triple garaging, with its own little patio. Fantastic for family, great for guests, very lucrative as short term country accommodation.
The three paddocks that surround the home continue the sense of order and ambience with black post and rail echoing the five-bar fencing which ensures the garden area is secure for kids and dogs. The shed in the paddock repeats the style of the large garden shed, and chooks have their run tucked neatly in the top corner.
While they chose this particular site for the trees it just happens to be next door to the tennis courts and pavilion that is shared by residents. Other assets which genuinely set Sarona Park apart from other gated residential lifestyle enclaves include its beautiful entry drive beside a protected bush reserve, private access to the Omanawa River and its exceptional equine friendly set up with a network of paths for riding and walking.
These owners also appreciate that though they live in the country 25 minutes from Tauranga's CBD they are just 15 easy minutes from The Lakes which will soon have the second biggest mall in NZ and a multi-screen cinema to add to the retail, cafes and amenities already attracting people to Tauranga Crossing shopping centre.
Has the country proven better than the city? So much so they want to do it all over again, and again in Sarona Park, leaving a lucky rural aspirant a superbly set up property for a stylish country life.
I specialise in the regions high value property assets but that’s not all I do.
I am involved with the region’s most prestigious rural and lifestyle properties. High end, high value property assets are my specialty however I enjoy marketing any of the diverse range of rural and lifestyle property opportunities that the sun drenched Bay of Plenty has to offer. Having been a consistent top 20 performer for Bayley’s nationwide since I began my real estate career I still enjoy every minute of it. Tauranga and the greater Bay of Plenty region has a large range of rural and lifestyle properties to choose from, I have had a large part to play in the prestigious waterfront market in and around Tauranga for many years but still enjoy the grass roots lifestyle properties that the Tauranga surrounds are so popular for.
I have sold high end lifestyle properties on small holdings of land right through to larger scale farms. I have a proven track record in all things real estate. Of course with our climate kiwifruit and avocado orchards feature prominently but I also represent larger rural blocks and farms which require a broad understanding of rural life. I have lived on a large lifestyle property for many years which has helped me achieve my results and goals as I understand the challenges anyone new to rural life may face.
I look forward to working hard to achieve a great result for you and your valuable property asset whether it be a property that only a select few can consider, a farm, an orchard or of course a lifestyle block that the whole family can enjoy.
The market is moving, don’t get left behind.
