Heaven on a Hectare

A perfect combination of attractive home with coastal views, gorgeous garden and avocado orchard. \nExactly a hectare (2.4 acres), an evenly shaped rectangle, perfect elevation for views, shelter from prevailing winds, half home and garden, half avocado orchard. If that sounds like heaven add life on a country road just one kilometre long with friendly neighbours sharing pride in beautiful properties. \nRoses line the road frontage on the highest side of this property with the drive curving to the sheltered home which is not only spacious and exceptionally light and airy but commands views to Mauao and Mayor Island. Working in the kitchen will always be a visual feast. The living space is large with tiled dining area opening to the morning sun terrace and the large linked lounge garnering afternoon sun. Wake to the rising sun in the master suite. Two more double bedrooms and family bathroom make up the wing off the foyer with an office/hobby room, fourth bedroom to the side of the double garage. \nBricked patios merge into lawns and flower beds on the upper level grounds with steps down to clipped hedged beds backed by the trellised rose bower which draws the line between garden and orchard. A slope of large magnolia trees, a home orchard and the garden that lines the upper boundary under high shelter all add to the ambience of this established garden. \n43 producing avocado trees spread over the rear half of the hectare with a separate drive down the fence line to the storage and implement shed which serves the orchard. The orchard has just had its second best year, producing a bin per tree.\nPlummer Road is a particularly attractive road a couple of kms off SH2 north of Tauranga. The coast you can see from the kitchen window is as close as the safe beaches and launch ramps on the Omokoroa Peninsula where you will also find the popular coastal golf course. Tauranga city is an easy drive via several satellite villages including burgeoning Bethlehem Town Centre. \nClick here to view a floorplan of the property.\n \n Location:\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.
