An easily managed country lifestyle where the contemporary home commands wonderful views. \n\nA pleasure to come home to the peaceful panorama when you live on a hill top with all day sunshine and 360 degrees of views taking in rolling countryside, coastline and Kaimai Ranges.\n\nWatch out for quails as you come up the tree lined drive. Curve past the hedged utility area and water tanks and up to a large parking area outside the double garage. Come into an interior very in touch with its exterior, where in the summer you will have so many doors and sliding windows open that the outside comes in and the inside out; where you'll do most of your daily living on the deck. Light the fire in the open plan living in winter and keep cosy while you watch the world outside. Curl up on the window seats mesmerised by the mist rolling off the Kaimai ranges in the morning, the sun setting over them in the evening. Warm up before bed by luxuriating in the spa or soaking in the hot water outdoor bath under the stars. The large master suite opening to the deck, two more good sized bedrooms and a big main bathroom make this a relaxed home for a couple or family. \n\nOn grounds planted to ensure some shelter without compromising views, shrubs and vegetable gardens line the banks below the flat front lawn. The five paddocks of the 1.4554 ha property drop in gentle hillsides from the home grounds; enough for a hobby farm where you try not to get too fond of your four-legged freezer fillers. Two highland cows thrive on this country, would love to stay and are very gentle and undemanding. \n\nFeel on top of the world with the Bay of Plenty at your feet. You can join civilisation for careers, education or retail therapy in Tauranga 20 minutes away or Katikati an easy ten. The harbour is handy for launching the boat, the Kaimai backdrop for walks in the bush.
