14.2810 hectares total land area
Home: Three-bedrooms, 2 bathrooms
Sleepout: One bedroom
This very special 14.2ha property, only a handful of kilometres from Te Puke CBD, is a rarity that almost beggars belief. From the spacious living area, panoramic views open across the land rising high and proud over the approximately 8 ha of grazing and 1.87 can/ha of kiwifruit. The grazing is fenced into approximately 14 paddocks of which about 50% is deer fenced. A resident herd of deer with good fallow genetics make their home beneath the house site which lauds over the block. It is not uncommon to see mobs of wild fallow deer grazing on neighbouring farmland in the afternoon sun. Some of the grazing land would be suitable to plant in avocado but this option to change land use would be entirely based on individual preference. Good crops of hayward kiwifruit seem to be the trend and management options are in place. With 216m² of this modern two-year old home on a wonderful site, boasting spacious living and a sophisticated kitchen including stone kitchen benches, 90cm gas hob and framed by the polished concrete floors, the house makes the word home have a special significance.
Other buildings include a four-bay shed with an attached lodge that will tantalise the imagination. Enjoy the breath-taking vista from the pergola area just out front - a great place to enjoy a drink as the sun sets on the western hill range and then welcome the late evening beside the firepit. A transportable one-bedroom, self-contained accommodation offers further options and at the risk of missing something, caps off a sensational property.
Snow began working in the kiwifruit industry in 1980 and attended the Bay of Plenty Horticulture Cadet Scheme in 1981 – 1983. By the finish of the scheme, at a young age, he was managing orchards, had a contract gang and in 1996, bought an orchard which he re-structured and re-husbanded before selling in 2004.
The highs, lows and challenges of the kiwifruit industry are part of life for Snow and his ‘hands on’ knowledge qualify him well to attend to the needs of those who buy and sell kiwifruit orchards. He also established a 120 tree avocado orchard and enjoyed growing and marketing avocados for 15 plus years.
He has sold large numbers of horticulture properties, farms and lifestyle blocks, often at substantial premium prices due to his outstanding passion and negotiating skills.
He began working as a Real Estate Salesperson in 1993, later taking an ownership interest in a company for over a decade and achieving Top Rural Salesperson for three consecutive years, before joining Bayleys in 2012 as part of the very effective Country team.
With Bayleys, Snow has achieved Top 5% status nationally continuously since 2014, and in 2017 had the honour to win Bayleys National Top Individual Salesperson. For Success Realty, Snow earned Top Bayleys Country Office Salesperson in 2017 & 2019 and in May of 2019 he was awarded Realty Groups Prestigious Overall Salesperson of the year 2019. Snows most recent honour was to be awarded the Rural Salesperson of the Year at the 2019 REINZ Awards for Excellence in Real Estate.
A keen gardener, he enjoys tending the needs of his 30 strong Belted Galloway cattle herd on his 25 acre farmlet in the Papamoa Hills.
A ‘passionate and parochial member of the Te Puke and wider community’ his personal mantra of ‘accept, adapt, achieve’ resulting from personal tragedy, and a desire to be the best he can be for his clients, family and himself empower him to strive to deliver for those who he serves.
