Options aplenty in park-like Te Puna

Secluded by a foliage fringed frontage with two road entrances this comprehensive 1.3955ha property provides plenty of options. Live comfortably in an extensively upgraded 1970s home where you wake to the lovely long view through your established country garden. Relax in spacious open plan living or outside on the covered patio facing the grounds where traditional trees and shrubs change their beauty with the seasons. Family bedrooms all have sliders outside and, like the living area, enjoy the outlook across the hinterland to the Kaimai Ranges.

Reap the benefits of a well maintained avocado orchard and lemon grove, which slope gently from the home grounds. Five of the 100 plus avocado trees are well established, the others nearing five years old and starting their productive life. The 90 yen ben lemon trees will start producing next year, the fruit ideal for export with its smooth thin skin and few pips. There is also a smattering of other fruits including persimmon, figs and grapes. Inside the second entrance to the property a large concrete floored structure with a full roof was a greenhouse. This provides scope for machinery storage or for becoming seriously green fingered.

And that's not all. Handy to, but well separated from, the home is a complex which spans a large garage and workshop with mezzanine storage plus a series of spaces over two levels which would work well as a substantial business base or could be converted for accommodation. One room is currently a gym with an external area used as greenhouse.

As the property is right in the centre of thriving Te Puna's most popular lifestyle location there could be scope to start an enterprise which serves the local community. A private peaceful park-like property with plenty of scope to capitalise, or just a very pleasant place to live ten minutes from Bethlehem and so handy to the coast and to city amenities. The local country school is a short walk along the road.
