40 Anderson Lane, Whakamarama, Tauranga & Surrounds

Superbly sited, versatile country living

Enjoy peace with personality on a secluded country property with options to retreat or share.

The daily pleasure of simply gazing over your tree fringed lawn to the rolling hills beyond, a peaceful stroll over 1.7330 ha in grounds and grazing, the relief of a cool swim on a hot day, the ease of entertaining and hosting guests is all enhanced by a dwelling very much at home in its world.

Solid enduring architecture with flair and a strong sense of identity is displayed in Hinuera Stone block construction offset by hand hewn macrocarpa in lofty soaring ceilings, joinery and doors. The verandas that completely surround it and extend further on the north side, keep the home cool in summer while inviting low winter rays.

This is a real country home with multiple French doors to wide patio off the north facing living area, and external access from every bedroom. There's a big fireplace and heat pumps for winter warmth. The master suite is at the west end facing the pool, family bedrooms including a second full suite on the east side. The dining room and office exude moody intimacy in an otherwise exuberantly open home.

Nicely separate but visually linked by landscaping, a second very spacious one-bedroom dwelling, complete with sauna, features a huge covered outdoor area facing the inground pool. The perfect party place has even more atmosphere when the pool lights are on and fountains from each corner play over the water. This dwelling can sleep several and would be ideal as guest accommodation or as an income earner.

Within convenient proximity of Tauranga, the turn off to this quiet country road is directly opposite the popular Omokoroa No. 1 School. The drive curves in past deer fenced grazing, much of which rises from a small stream gully. The pond you pass has been a source of family fun, camping under the trees, sleeping in the little hut above the water. The property has stock handling facilities, plenty of fruit trees and masses of mature shady foliage, plus workshop and storage space.
