This country home overlooks New Zealand native bush and the majestic Wairoa River. There's a magical sense of being miles from anywhere. Yet, one sneaky hint reveals just how close this property actually is to Tauranga City, approximately 15 minutes to the CBD via the expressway and approximately 10 minutes to Tauranga's newest development The Crossing.\nThis position is a gem - around 1.3 acres or 5564sqm of pure tranquillity. Its elevation simply heightens the views of the bush hugging the river. There's even a popular summer swimming hole nearby - pristine waters keeping you in touch with nature.\nMelting into its setting, this home takes full advantage of the bush surrounds. Spacious at around 300 square metres, it boasts four bedrooms, an office and two lounges. A stunning near-new kitchen showcases country charm - with a double butler's sink, American Oak benches and farmhouse cabinets. The warm touch of native timber underfoot continues this nod to nature. And, like any country tradition, a colonial log fire keeps life cosy.\nThis is a home designed around entertaining and outdoor lifestyle. Bi-fold windows in the kitchen handshake with life out on the deck. It's huge - brilliant for barbeques and fun in the sun. \nFrom family to friends, there's so much to love here. Triple garaging caters for cars and toys. Off-street parking caters for many; while easy-care grounds give kids plenty to explore and gardeners a lot to enjoy.\n
