The appeal of this property is instant. Nestled below the brilliant hues of its deciduous backdrop with lawns sweeping forward to the street, the double gables and welcoming windows set in cedar weatherboards all express the meaning of home.
The autumn colors add weight to the suggestion that this property could be in New England. The style may be American but the two acre setting is prime popular Pyes Pa. The plans for this "American farm house" were brought from the States and translated to meet our building standards. It seemed the particular style would perfectly fit this large sheltered sunny site. The aim was to create a home not simply build a house.
If first impressions are not enough to confirm the success of this project, stepping inside the front door will cement it. There is a feeling here of the permanence and security of genuine family values. It has a "pass this through the generations" atmosphere. This is enhanced by a layout where rooms link and spaces flow but individual areas are kept intimate and friendly.
The entrance is flanked by two rooms with bay windows, one has French doors to close it off as a small formal lounge, and the other is the dining room. The central farmhouse kitchen, complete with mantled gas stove, plenty of black granite bench and heaps of cream cupboards and drawers, is placed to be the "hub". It extends to the breakfast room overlooking the rear garden, huge patio and pool. The dramatic column of eldorado stone above the gas fire takes the eye up the double height that opens the main lounge to the landing above. The living and breakfast rooms access, via two sets of French and single door, the rear verandah and concrete slab terrace facing the kidney shaped pool.
The master suite is the only bedroom downstairs. From porcelain tiled bathroom to step up spa bath, to the black/brown intricate inset, to flat screen TV and fully fitted wardrobe this room has comfort covered. Family sleep upstairs off the full width landing, Two of the three bedrooms have bathrooms; the shared one is referred to in America as "Jack and Jill" style and opens to the hall, down which is the ultimate family retreat - a huge lounge under the eaves, just the place for gathering friends, having "sleep overs", having fun. The "back stairs" lead directly to a big laundry behind the kitchen and outside via the double garage.
The landscaping and natural foliage frames this home perfectly and provides endless places to play and relax. There is room for a tennis court beside the home, and paths above the double retaining take you to the trees. Superb execution, beautiful finishing, timeless decor and a "country" location so close to town are all reasons this home is likely to become valued as a family heritage.

I genuinely care about people – and they know it. Approximately 16 years ago when I was at a crossroads not knowing what to do with my career, I was inspired to join the real estate industry and quickly fell in love. Coming from a background in public health and private business management & administration, I was no stranger to hard work and long hours. Real estate is my passion!! I have been fortunate to have worked alongside two major brands in the industry and have remained with the one brand - Ray White. I have almost come full circle – having sold real estate, owned and closed our own franchise and over the past two years enjoyed my role as a team leader to some amazing and talented salespeople Stepping up from sales into a management role has been one of my greatest achievements and I am continually striving to be one of the industries main leaders and role model.
The industry is constantly evolving and with that comes opportunity to continuously upskill and pass on what has been taught to allow agents to become the best versions of themselves. I love seeing new agents grow into successful salespeople and I absolutely thrive on guiding and assisting experienced salespeople in growing their existing business.
In 2020 I joined Crockford Real Estate and assisted the family transitioning from a well established Tauranga family-owned business to two new Ray White Offices taking on the Branch Manager role of both offices – the values of both the Ray White and Crockford families align – traditional with a modern edge – never losing sight of the present and future relationships - and they fit so well with me personally and professionally.
