A Fine Balance

A very attractive home in prime country road enjoys elevation above pristinely presented orchard.\n\nThis is an all round pleaser with a fine balance between the exceptional appeal of the architecturally influenced home and the perfect presentation of the orchard below. The drive to the property on one of Te Puna's most popular roads forks to the orchard and ascends to the north facing home and grounds. Loads of light, large windows, plenty of external doors and interesting internal architectural features make this a delightful living environment with spacious dual living, master suite, office and generous garaging at ground level and three more sunny bedrooms and family bathroom off the wide landing above. The central kitchen and nice division between family and formal space means it not only looks lovely but lives well.\nViews span from Omokoroa through to Minden Hill. The orchard of this 7.0977 ha property occupies two plateaus below the home grounds, its separate drive leading through the orchard via a complex of sheds with includes a large two bay shed, ports for tractors and a basic tearoom/worker facility. A small avocado orchard occupies the rear and front with grazing beyond, as well as 3.06 ca ha planted in gold G3 kiwifruit, each block well sheltered, well husbanded. Beautifully sited, beautifully tended, full of potential, this is a property on which to relish your home and reap the rewards of a well set up orchard. Snodgrass Road is one of the most popular in this prime orchard and lifestyle location where the local village and cafe is five minutes down the road and Tauranga city CBD an easy 15. The peaceful beaches of this peninsula will attract you to the harbour for boating and recreation.\n\n:\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
