Rural lifestyle opportunity

A great opportunity has arisen here on the outskirts of Te Puke, a chance to have your own country home in Pongakawa. Built in the 1970s, this home has both traditional and modern features and is now available for you to put your mark on. Set on a 1.078 hectare (more or less) flat and rolling contour site, the sunny three bedroom home makes the most of its north easterly aspect. The living area on the private front corner of the house is complimented by a large bay door with ranch slider that opens out on to the generous wrap around deck, which can also be accessed by French doors on the other side. Coupled with the bi-fold windows in the kitchen and incorporated fly-screens throughout the entire house, there is a light and airy feel to this home. An extra room adjacent to the garage serves as an ideal area for a teenager or visiting friends and family. The modern features of the home include an HRV system with integrated heat transfer from the built-in wood fire situated in the lounge, providing a healthy home that is kept warm and cosy in the cooler months. In addition, the property has an economic Solar assist hot water system and a security alarm that can be monitored via your mobile device. Outside all of your lifestyle needs are taken care of with a well fenced section that is separated into six paddocks for family animals or livestock. Centrally located yards are suitable for cattle, plus there is a covered enclosure for the horse enthusiast. Furthermore, there is a three bay open front shed, equipped with two bays already set up as horse stables and a conveniently located large four bay open shed currently being used as storage for the farm vehicles.\nA fully fenced area houses an above-ground Para pool to relax in on a hot summer's day that is equipped with a sand filtration unit. All of the water throughout the property is supplied by a spring, which provides excellent drinking water in the house and in the water troughs. This idyllic lifestyle property is just 1km away from the sought-after country school in Pongakawa and is an easy commute to both Tauranga and Papamoa via the Eastern Link. With the Otamarakau Beach Access only a 10 minute drive away, you can cast your line out or just enjoy a beautiful quiet walk. Te Puke is only 18km away and Rotorua with its lakes for water sports and fishing is just 55km to the south.\nLocation:\nThe benefits of the Pongakawa district are here to be enjoyed with great schooling close by, pool and sport facilities at the Pongakawa Tect Action Centre, enjoy a game of golf or take the long line out to Otamarakau and grab a snapper for tea. The Rotorua lakes are easily accessible and the property is conveniently located to Tauranga, Whakatane and Rotorua.\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. Key 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. With a mixture of beautiful scenery, great beaches, cafes, restaurants and nightspots it is more than a region; it is a lifestyle. The award winning schools also provide a key reason why Bay of Plenty 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.\n
