Idyllic country life with options for entrepreneurs
Embrace country life in this magical family home just minutes from Katikati. The property is framed by the majestic Kaimai Ranges and includes great grazing, attractive bush, fruiting gardens and a burbling stream.
This secluded small farm is perfect for a large family who yearn for privacy in a stunning, yet easy-care setting. However, this lodge-style property is also ready-made for a profitable B&B. The northern wing features two hotel-standard guest suites, each with a private deck that overlooks gorgeous native bush. This wing features a separate entrance, covered patio area, large lounge and a kitchenette. The clever layout and high-spec insulation means that guests are undisturbed whilst family life continues in the main house.
Recycled rimu features, high stud ceilings and dynamic open plan living make the family wing both striking and snug. The kitchen includes a spacious walk-in pantry and bi-fold windows that connect the kitchen to the verandah - perfect for entertaining friends or paying guests. The living area features a huge open-hearth fire plus a cosy den or second lounge. A covered verandah runs the length of the wing, and is accessed by four French doors. There is also a master bedroom with a double-shower ensuite, plus two more bedrooms and a family bathroom. You'll enjoy the large flat lawn and the sunny sunken patio area to the south. There is triple garaging and a workshop, plus three 25,000 litre water tanks cleverly concealed under the big deck overlooking the stream.
Children will never be bored as you relish the good life with raised vegetable beds, nine compact well fenced grazing paddocks, yards and loading bay, a 'hen hotel' and a shed big enough to house the boat. As the stream curves its way through the secret valley it intersects two flat, lush paddocks that would make ideal "glamping" sites. There is a shady swimming hole under ponga trees, and children and visitors can explore the acre of bush that is part of the 3.1412 ha (nearly 8 acres). At just a five -minute drive away from town, this property really does have it all.

Agent
Karen Payton
Success Realty Ltd MREINZ
Licensed Real Estate Salesperson (REAA 2008), Member of the REINZ
Karen Payton may be the only women on the Bayleys Tauranga country sales team but she is no token female! Karen has a solid background in real estate sales and farm and orchard experience.
Karen married a Manawatu farmer and brought up her two (now adult) boys on the farm near Kimbolton.
Farming was followed by owning and running a camping and outdoor store before the family relocated to the Bay of Plenty where they have lived ever since, her husband Geoff managing a large avocado orchard for many years.
Karen has 16 years real estate experience, twelve of them with Realty Services where she worked for both Eves and Bayleys. She returns to Bayleys after a year out to support her husband’s return to health.
As a member of Bayleys highly successful country team Karen is focusing on farms, orchards and lifestyle across the Bethlehem to Waihi region, where she had lived for 15 years and built numerous new homes on lifestyle blocks. Karen knows her market, has a large network of contacts in the area. Her first property listing on her return to the ‘coal face’ of real estate was a referral. She has built strong relationships over her career with vendors and purchasers impressed by her ‘up front’ manner, high energy approach, and commitment to see the job through to its desired result, often a better one that her vendors anticipate. (Notably the auction which attracted multiple bidders and sold for a million over reserve.)
Among Karen’s many accolades are these:
• “Extremely professional, nothing too much trouble, always gave us feedback.”
• “Negotiation ability to secure an offer so close to our expectation it was a clean sale.”
• “Her knowledge of the marketplace, the area and local statutory requirements impressed us.”
• “Very professional in marketing and negotiations and sold all three properties …”
Karen returns to real estate with batteries fully charged and the full support of Bayleys Tauranga’s country manager and her colleagues. Engage Karen to sell your property, not because she is the only woman on the team, but because she is a very effective salesperson in a very effective team.
