Sheltered and privately sited in a rural enclave in Whakamarama near Tauranga, this is a contemporary country home for a 'laid back' escape which incorporates all the technology you need to stay in touch.\nDesigned and built by a city family choosing a change of lifestyle this property has delivered everything they desired in allowing them to savour a more peaceful pace and share their environment with family and friends. The four bedroom home has master suite one side, family bedrooms and bathroom in a separate wing, large office inside the foyer and a mix of open plan and separate living space with doors to extensive surrounding patio, with an outdoor pizza oven. Lots of glazing in the high stud home affords effective passive heating, with a gas fire for really chilly nights.\nThe carpeted separate lounge or media room is fully equipped for surround sound and the home's cabling ensures 21st century connection. The style of the linear mono pitch roofed home with aerated concrete panel cladding is mirrored in a 144m2 shed with space for up to eight vehicles, and has obvious advantages for pursuing interests or income. This complex sits neatly down the aggregate drive below the main home which also has oversized garaging. Landscaping has been kept deliberately simple and low maintenance. There is plenty of lawn, bark based gardens border the home and fruit and vegetables thrive by the shed. This is just the place for relishing the rural life just 20 minutes from Tauranga. Choose from quality country schools and launch the boat at the quiet local harbour inlets.\n\nLocation:\nFew regions in New Zealand or the world for that matter have as much to offer as the Bay of Plenty. From the gentle harbour waters to its surf beaches, its fishing and diving grounds to the scenic bush, the Bay is as much a quiet recreational playground as it is a thriving business and rural community.\nKey economic elements for the region include Tourism, Horticulture (predominately Kiwifruit and Avocado production), Viticulture, Pastoral farming, Forestry, Housing and Holiday Makers. The rapid growth in the area provides a vibrant living environment from job opportunities to business prospects with a sustainable future.\nTauranga as a city is one of the fastest, if not fastest growing cities in New Zealand. With a mixture of beautiful scenery, great beaches, cafes, restaurants and nightspots it is more than a city it is a lifestyle. The award winning schools also provide a key reason why Tauranga is proving to be such an attractive destination for both ex Kiwi's and migrants as a place to set up their new life in New Zealand.\n
