Paradise by the sea

Looking for paradise by the sea with income possibilities? Stop here and come inside this great weatherboard home on a 4.51ha (more or less) lifestyle site, literally across the road from the ocean.

Situated along the Pikowai coastline in the Bay of Plenty, sits this fabulous opportunity for a savvy purchaser. With a plethora of productive fruit and nut trees in the expansive flat to gently sloping orchard and a self-contained sleepout at the back of the main home; there are options to explore for the home to help to pay for itself. To name but a few there are many varieties of citrus, avocados, figs and apple trees; plus a large macadamia tree and a few kiwifruit vines.

The aspect of this light and airy three bedroom home is towards the sea, so you can draw back the curtains in the morning and watch as the sunrises over the Pacific Ocean. The large living area with wood burner is a great family space and the expansive covered deck that runs the length of the front of the home is a great spot to watch the waves roll in rain or shine, you can even spy the East Cape on a clear day.

To service the orchard there is a large garage and workshop with three phase power, to house the machinery and equipment required to maintain the grounds. Further options include to graze some sheep on the steeper paddocks and through the trees to clear up the fallen fruit. On top of this, the current vendors use the sleep out as a Bed and Breakfast. There is a water bore on site.

Only five minutes from the local town of Matata and only 30 minutes from both Whakatane and Bayfair (via the Eastern Link), the location is ideal. However, with so much growing in your back garden, space to graze animals and a pantry of seafood across the road why would you want to leave? Call me today if you want to own your slice of beach side paradise.
