A contemporised character home and big shed on a sunny sheltered foliage surrounded acre.\nTreat yourself to the tranquillity of life on just over an acre (4370m2) of privacy created by the verge of native plantings inside the boundary of your property. An appealing mix of trees and shrubs makes an interesting border for the sweeping lawns (large enough for a tennis court and pool) below the home and shed. \nMore established trees conceal a hen house and boxed vegetable gardens and shade some of the parking outside the barn style shed a couple of steps below the home. The high stud shed invites a big boat or campervan and offers plenty of workshop and storage space plus carport. The hot mix drive and paved parking add access advantages.\nHome is the original weatherboard dwelling on this appealing Ruahihi ridge. It has been extended and upgraded sympathetically to provide spacious open plan living now enhanced even more by a new kitchen; and to create a master suite (with French doors to deck) and media room beyond the three family bedrooms and second bathroom. \nLive privately 200 metres from the end of the road in the upper Ruahihi; the area a hidden treasure with its rolling rural beauty below McLarens Falls Park. Enjoy access to the park by bike or on foot along the Ruahihi canal and the convenient proximity to Tauranga. The city is coming ever closer with the burgeoning Lakes residential, retail and light industrial precinct. Tauranga Crossing shopping centre is just 12 minutes away, the CBD only 16 via the expressway.
