At One with Nature

The ideal property to ease the transition from larger farm and get great grazing and gorgeous home.

When the Kaimai Mamaku Forest Park is 200 metres above you; when deer pop out of the bush next to the river which wraps the lower boundary of your farm; when wide views span rolling countryside and coastline, on clear days extending as far as the Alderman Islands - you appreciate you are genuinely living at one with nature. However when you are soaking in the bath under glazing with the night sky above and sparkling city lights in the distance you appreciate the man made comforts and pleasures which enhance your life here.

This is a perfect property for downsizing your farm or for a foray into farming. Its 20 plus hectares (nearly 50 acres) of lush pasture affords ideal grazing land, well fenced, well drained and with a race leading to the stockyards.

The attractive drive into the home and grounds branches off to a substantial three bay shed where a man can tinker for hours, popping up to the house for sustenance. You revel in a home with every contemporary convenience where two can live in luxury, but which expands to its large and versatile best when you welcome family and friends. The site could not be better for its outlook and the home could not be better designed to capitalize on it. All but one of the four bedrooms enjoys the views; the two wings (family bedrooms and master suite and office) fan off wonderful central living where the kitchen caters for entertaining on a large scale, be it inside, or out on the expansive partly covered patio that spans the view frontage. This is an exceptionally well planned kitchen with zones for different needs, plenty of bench space along the window above the barbeque and a separate drinks cabinet/fridge/bench built in by the dining alcove.

The grandchildren may love the bedroom nearest the kitchen but guests or perhaps a live in parent will be delighted with the other two double bedrooms and the 'wow factor' bathroom that serves them. You will love privacy, sunshine and views from your huge master suite at the other end of the home by a fabulous formal lounge.

The home has internal access from triple garaging deliberately designed so that the nearest garage could convert to a rumpus room or home business base.
The 'Trish Waugh' landscaped grounds draw on the natural environment for inspiration creating an easy care slice of nature which drops gently below the home, never impeding that glorious view.

The location may be nature personified but it places you near urban centres (Katikati 15 minutes, Tauranga 30, Mount Maunganui 35), with Auckland an easy couple of hours and the Waikato just over the hill as the crow flies - a bit further by road!

Location:
Few regions in New Zealand or the world for that matter have as much to offer as the Bay of Plenty. From the gentle harbour waters to its surf beaches, its fishing and diving grounds to the scenic bush, the Bay is as much a quiet recreational playground as it is a thriving business and rural community.
Key economic elements for the region include Tourism, Horticulture (predominately Kiwifruit and Avocado production), Viticulture, Pastoral farming, Forestry, Housing and Holiday Makers. The rapid growth in the area provides a vibrant living environment from job opportunities to business prospects with a sustainable future.
Tauranga as a city is one of the fastest, if not fastest growing cities in New Zealand. With a mixture of beautiful scenery, great beaches, cafes, restaurants and nightspots it is more than a city it is a lifestyle. The award winning schools also provide a key reason why Tauranga is proving to be such an attractive destination for both ex Kiwi's and migrants as a place to set up their new life in New Zealand.
