Timeless home on sunny land favouring horticulture

A country home and garden on 4.8160 ha grazing land with horticulture potential.

The gentle contour and northerly aspect of this land suggests that while excellent as grazing it would be ideal horticultural land. Early sunshine, natural and partial planted shelter and an altitude of around 95 metres are conditions favourable for avocados. The six paddocks with troughs currently graze 11 yearling steers. Farm buildings span a hayshed and yards and a large 3.5 bay shed.

Whether you choose to graze or grow you will appreciate the micro climate which this property enjoys. Bananas thrive in the corner of the rambling country grounds where you can pick your own fruit and grow vegetables.

The wide front lawn is graced by a timeless home spread long to maximise the outlook and allow all its living spaces and most bedrooms to bathe in sunshine. Covered and open patio with brick inlaid concrete extends the length of the home. The master suite at the east end and a second en-suited bedroom at the west end both open outside. Between them you spill out from numerous doors from the conservatory and open plan living beside a big oak country kitchen, from formal dining and the spacious formal lounge. The home enjoys both the near garden environment and distant views down rolling valleys to the coast where Coromandel hovers on the horizon.

Family can spread over five bedrooms plus an office so large it deserves to be called a den. Embrace life in a solidly built home with leadlight glass detailing, rimu in the foyer ceiling and skirtings and architraves, a 2.7 stud, and 'bowling alley' width hall. Tiled areas apart from the conservatory have under floor heating, and there's two heat pumps and wood burner to ensure year-round comfort.

Peace and privacy is a plus here in the rolling hills just ten minutes from Tauranga, or you can pop down to Bethlehem in five.
