Paint the life you want on this country canvas

Whatever you decide to do on this versatile 2.8235 ha you will never tire of the Kaimai, country and coastal panorama from the appealing individual veranda wrapped country home.

Opportunities abound on this predominantly flat to rolling property, with 17 paddocks designed for easy husbandry of multiple species and which could easily be made into fewer bigger ones for horses. Permaculture, which has prompted topsoil health, is also good preparation for planting if horticulture is your preference. Two rows of Redwoods back the property and manuka and natives have been planted on banks. There's even more grazing or planting potential in the expanse of lawn around the main dwelling which slopes to the view and the former equestrian arena and could equally become a soccer pitch or tennis court.

Black post and rail fencing and gates invite you to ample parking outside the home from where the drive accesses the old stables, now used as a garage, and a 14x7m three bay shed plus yards and a stock loading bay.

The attractive north facing board and batten dwelling offers endless options. Five French doors open the home out onto wrap around verandas and link the living spaces and bedrooms to outdoor entertaining areas. The open plan living and lounge area provide a flexible living space, and a large separate lounge has private access ways from the parking areas, making it ideal for a home business . The main bedroom is a luxurious hideaway haven and two of the three other bedrooms can be closed off in their own wing.

Choices too for the shopping (in Katikati, Omokoroa, Bethlehem or Tauranga) or the beach (equidistant between Waihi and Mount Maunganui beaches). Popular country school at the bottom of the road and buses to colleges.
