Park-like in Papamoa Countryside

4.1213 ha total land area\n 250m2 single level home elevated for ocean outlook\n Kubota ride-on mower in separate three bay shed\n\nA much admired park-like property in Papamoa offers a peaceful country life near the coast and city.\nNative and exotic trees create a park on 4.1213 hectares of gently sloping pastureland in the country near coastal Papamoa. \nThe drive curves up to parking outside the big double garage of the spaciously versatile home which spreads itself across its elevation for attractive rural, urban (night lights along the coast) and ocean outlook. The interior exhibits strong streamlined classic design incorporating rimu and other timbers with ample heating (under floor, solid fuel and open fire) and storage plus excellent bathroom layout and a third bedroom large enough to be a bedsit, home business base or rumpus room. It opens direct to a concealed rear courtyard complete with solar heated lap pool. \nOpen plan living spans lounge, dining and a skylit kitchen gaining privacy by its high benches while retaining good connection to the sunroom it faces. This long room has three doors outside and, like the master suite, faces wide deck along the north side.\nThe entire property is kept immaculately mown by the new Kubota 'ride-on' in the separate three bay shed. The trees were planted over the last 20 years on cattle grazing land which could easily be re-fenced for pasture. Live in pastoral peace five minutes from Papamoa Beach and near the new Eastern Link expressway with easy access to Tauranga and other main centres and a huge choice of recreation and retail on the doorstep but just far enough away to keep your serenity intact.\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.
