A beautifully laid out small farm on a sunny plateau central to Te Puke, Rotorua and Tauranga.
You can choose your urban forays when you live within 20 kilometres of Te Puke and about 30 from both Rotorua and Tauranga, all on tar sealed roads. Staying in the country also looks pretty good when you farm 16.24 hectares of lush grazing with most of the 18 paddocks flat or gently sloping hay country and all of them accessed by races for efficient access and stock movement. The farm can be classed as FE safe and is currently home to a 180 alpaca stud (which specializes in breeding black alpacas) but would equally be ideal for horses, cattle and other livestock. Farm buildings include a new five bay shed where two bays (including the fully closed in large storage workshop area) have concrete floors, and another shed beside yards well set up for stock handling and loading.
An attractive drive leads to the home grounds with beautiful mature trees and a large stand-alone garage sits beside the comfortable 1980s three bedroom home. Living areas are exceptionally generous and updated with bi-fold doors leading to a morning sun patio and an afternoon deck. Sunny bedrooms have the two largest facing north and the third west. There is a spacious bathroom and farm friendly laundry. The pleasing wide rural outlook from the home and farm includes the peak of Otaniwainuku. The popular Te Ranga Primary School is a couple of kilometres down the road past homes and lifestyle farms, which demonstrate the appeal of this location. The central situation is a bonus for shopping and also access to both the coast and the Rotorua Lakes.
