Secluded country haven offers the good life.This appealingly varied property combines sheltered seclusion with outlook across country to the coast. Sited off the road where peace and quiet is assured and where nature is your neighbour, the atmosphere here evokes a laid back contemporary good life with plenty to do if you want to. Huge gums tower on one side of the property, high hedge shields the rear, a ponga grove thrives on the hillside, 40 or so recently planted avocado trees dot two sheltered paddocks. The home grounds feature a huge sweeping lawn giving the impression of living on a north facing promontory with grazing slopes below in an encircling gully with a spring fed stream, potential to create a swimming hole. The relaxed home exudes sophisticated barn with lots of doors flowing to a covered verandah and living choices for embracing every season. The charming sky-lit kitchen is country style streamlined; you can dine inside, out on the deck or in the garden under the sail by the pizza oven. Lofty beamed ceilings accentuate the large lounge and the master suite is a sunny haven on the upper floor. Eat off the land from a fruit salad of citrus, apples, peaches, tamarillo, feijoa, persimmon and some macadamia trees. There are a few rustic outhouses and a chook run, plus plenty of grazing for a few stock. Heaven for children with so many places to explore and adventures to have, the ultimate destination for families wanting space and the experience of country living. Whakamarama school is the local primary and a bus from the end of the drive takes kids to colleges in Tauranga City just 20 minutes away. A property to be relished for its many facets and pure peace and privacy, or one with potential to further tame and capitalise on the park-like features, pristine spring and surprising view shafts.
