Triple Retreat on Three Clearly Defined Acres

Be at one with nature on three interesting acres with choices which feed both body and soul. \nEnjoy an enriching rural life on 12,761m2 (1.3 ha) divided loosely into three individual acres. The home, a versatile second dwelling and the grounds and orchard of the property are beautifully sited between about an acre of QEII covenanted native bush and an acre (more or less) paddock of gentle gully grazing. Walk off the lawn to shady paths under ancient trees as you relish the role of custodians of a stand of preserved NZ native forest which is ever evolving and regenerating. Run a few stock on the grazing or continue the convenient arrangement with a neighbour which allows for simple enjoyment of the property as an actively relaxed lifestyle. Live in modern comfort in the roomy fifteen-year-old three-bedroom home where deep windows and decks maximise mesmerising country and coastal views; wonderful to wake up to in the large master bedroom and gorgeous from the spacious open plan living. Delight in the options for hobbies, retreat or homestay income (or teenagers!) provided by the sky-lit self-contained studio apartment with a balcony above a separate garage. Couples will love the great configuration which provides a creative retreat above for her and a 'man shed' below for him. Produce more than you can eat from the vegetable gardens; loads of fruit and preserves from the orchard where rows of citrus trees, black currant bushes, feijoas, passionfruit, pears, olives, apples and tamarillo flourish. Live right on the school bus route just 1.5kms from the popular Te Ranga Country school with good roads to deliver you easily to Te Puke, Tauranga, or Rotorua from this elevated plateau half way up Te Matai Road. \n
