341 Joyce Road, Pyes Pa, Tauranga & Surrounds

Award winning country retreat

Worthy of every superlative, this magnificent country hideaway with its superbly crafted, beautifully built, timelessly designed home is also a down to earth, relaxing, welcoming and comfortable place to cosset a couple, have a fun family life and enjoy entertaining. This Bay Of Plenty 1998 Master Builders' House of the Year, designed by Dennis Pocock Architects, is expressed in high quality construction by Everton Builders in honed Hinuera stone, cedar shingles, copper spouting and downpipes and American shingle roofing. The interior encompasses you in the warmth of wood, glowing timber in cabinetry and in enhancing features, local macrocarpa in vaulted ceilings with trussed timber rafters. A lightness of being is created by extensive glazing, multiple external doors and double height atrium. The generous tiled ground floor with open plan living drops a step or two to a large lounge for intimate evenings by the fire or sunning with a book on the window seat. Family bedrooms are in a wing with doors to patio and the in-ground pool. There's copious amounts of storage and a wine cellar. The versatile mezzanine studio with office nook and sink has glorious north views via the atrium and links the master suite and a fourth bedroom. This is an exceptional country property where an award winning home faces north over park-like grounds. Never tire of the city and coastal vista (and watching the cruise ships come in) over the tree canopy of gardens. The grounds merge via a citrus grove into 0.4 can/ha of Hayward kiwifruit and drop to three fenced grazing paddocks in the vale below. Ideal for combining the pleasure of country seclusion with income from kiwifruit and grazing stock or ponies. Even among the premium properties of this popular Pyes Pa road on the city boundary this rural retreat stands out for the special character of its home, setting and aspect. You live in peaceful privacy near the city and even closer to a choice of good schooling and the burgeoning services and amenities of Pyes Pa and Tauranga Crossing.
