Rural Sophistication in Popular Te Puna

A superb blend of rural sophistication and practicality is demonstrated in the family fabulous Stonewood home and the big three bay shed on a versatile 1.6880 hectares ten minutes from Tauranga. \nThe beautifully built and very cleverly and sensibly designed 18 month old four bedroom home sits on the main plateau of the land, wrapping itself around the sunniest patio beside a fenced inground pool. Families will delight in the way the layout centres on the open plan living with sliders to the patio while also providing a second lounge or media room off the foyer and a neat playroom with amazing storage beside the children's bedrooms. The comprehensive Palazzo kitchen has two Bosch ovens and a full scullery. Colours are a stylish meld of washed greys and monotones, doors display attractive reverse detail, tiles floor utility areas with toe tingling soft carpet elsewhere. \nThe drive scoops down to the home's front door and double garage then continues to a near new 135m2 three bay shed with plenty of parking and turning outside. This adds space for extra vehicles, the three phase power facilitating use as a base for a business or hobby. There is also resource consent to build a larger than usual minor dwelling on the elevated sunny rise above the home, a real bonus if you'd like extended family to live near. \nThe land slopes to the wide flat plateau of the home grounds from where it dips via a tree clad hillside to the creek at the bottom. There is scope to further fence the two paddocks for stock, to enhance the landscaping, and of course to add that extra accommodation. \nWhile exceptionally pleasant as it is this property presents plenty of potential to create an even more stylish country life just five minutes from Bethlehem Town Centre and conveniently close to city amenities. \n
