Beautiful views from bountiful block

Live with choice of views in an attractive solidly built home surrounded by gardens full of edibles. \nThe close view of the mist rising over the green scoops of the lower Kaimai Ranges is as mesmerising as the distant coastal one where Mayor Island seems to float above Bowentown Heads. Easy to see why this 5984m2 was selected; offering an elevated flat platform for the house site while its grounds sloping gently forward and around it. \nThe solid brick and tile home was completed in December 2005, designed to deliver garden or longer views throughout with low windows, lots of exterior doors and a huge patio running along the sunniest side. A short glazed hall runs from a double garage past the third bedroom/office to the foyer. Tiles have been used extensively to ensure you can come inside with grubby feet, while the lounge and bedrooms have warm carpet. So warm and sunny the underfloor heating in bathrooms and kitchen has hardly been used. Solar tubes on the roof have saved hugely on water heating. A very efficient double sided fireplace and attractive surround separates the lounge (two living areas)from casual living in the open plan space. In the kitchen bi-folds deliver open views from all the work areas. Rimu tops the kitchen island and highlights the cabinetry. Bathrooms share good storage units, glass showers (bath also in the family bathroom), quality tiles and lots of light. The home enjoys its panorama over flower beds, vegetables and fruit trees separated by a series of low hedges creating garden rooms which enhance but never impede the outlook. Countless edibles span citrus and stone fruit through figs, persimmon, quince to name a few. Raspberries, blueberries and blackberries thrive under cover and vegetables grow profusely. Even though the garden has been planned so you don't get all your harvest at once you'll find ample for preserving and bottling, sharing and even perhaps selling at local markets. There are a couple of tool sheds and a chook run. \nEmbrace the 'good life' in a friendly country community just five minutes outside Katikati township and only 15 minutes from the beach.
