Location: A couple of minutes north of Te Puke, set back off the main highway.

Property: Good grazing, well fenced with old woolshed, newish implement shed and large family home and grounds.

Dwelling: 464m² four bedroom, three bathroom home with expansive living wrapping sunny side, master suite and another bedroom downstairs, huge studio plus two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. Triple garaging, office, additional useful spaces

Land: 7.1150ha of near flat land with lush reliable grazing, divided into approx. seven paddocks, some post and rail fenced, with good access through the farm.

Sited for the sun, well back from the road the large family home commands views over farmland towards the Papamoa Hills. The well fenced flat 7.1150 ha (nearly 18 acres) suggests horses or stud grazing.

A curving fenced drive passes the old woolshed and several compact post and rail fenced paddocks, runs by the orchard and a newer implement shed to reach the home. The remainder of the seven or so paddocks fan out below the slight plateau of the grounds. Reliable lush pasture, good drainage and shelter lends the land to raising pedigree stock; good horse country too.

The 15-year-old 464m², four bedroom architecturally designed home exudes light, air and space from its atrium style foyer through spacious living which wraps the ground floor's north side. Families and entertainers will love the generous and very comprehensive kitchen facing the patio and lap pool. Concrete floors extend through the family living then meet carpet for what is, in a large linked space, an atmospherically intimate dining room; with a step or two down to the main lounge. Deep windows embrace the views, numerous doors access concrete patio and timber decks which merge into the lawns overlooking the land and a man-made pond, home to ducks and geese.

The private master suite on the lower floor western side has a large dressing room, light bright bathroom and a small room which could be a gym or baby's room. The ground floor also sports an office, a double bedroom with external access, the second bathroom, laundry and triple garaging with extra storage. There are two sets of stairs, one to a massive studio with balcony above the garage, the other to two more large bedrooms and third bathroom off a landing designed as a seating area and facing its own balcony.

This is a home exhibiting a special and individual character, designed for living expansively, on an appealing well-tended small farm just a couple of minutes outside Te Puke.
