955 Te Matai Road, Te Puke, Te Puke

Peacefully parklike and perfectly plantable

Over a hectare of sunny flat land where you can embrace your parklike setting or plan to realise the horticultural potential.

The serene green rural outlook and the profusion of native, exotic, fruit trees and shrubs which surround the home create a delightful country setting. The sunny elevation of this north facing 1.1590 ha suggests that a horticultural enterprise would also thrive here. The land is an easy near flat rectangle with boundaries well fenced. The future for planting trees or vines could be promising in this region famous for its kiwifruit and avocado production. The sunshine is assured and, as a shareholder in the Te Matai water scheme, so is your irrigation.

The 1984 brick and cedar three-bedroom home has enduring architectural features which would respond well to some upgrading. Timber beams accent the high ceiling of the lounge from which French doors access a snug sitting room with an open fire. A master suite each end provides options for living and hosting guests. The home sports a DVS system, and burglar and fire alarms. Dual garaging encompasses a workshop and sleepout, with a large covered porch separating garaging from the home.

A small second dwelling with sea peeps could be built among the trees to capitalise on the rural tourism accommodation possibility. The attractive grounds are wedding worthy. And/or, of course, there's that huge potential horticultural income.

Te Puke is an easy 15-minute drive away and Tauranga and coast made more accessible by roading improvement and the Eastern Link.

An excellent opportunity to take an established country property which has been in one family for two generations and ensure its legacy continues.
