149c Te Puna Road, Te Puna, Western Bay Of Plenty

A very central woodland sanctuary

A unique country lifestyle for family fun in natural seclusion.

Live in a sunny hidden clearing in a swathe of parkland that feels far from today's busy world, yet every amenity for a smooth family life is within proximity.

There is an interesting backstory to the creation of the beautiful park where this high-quality executive home nestles in 8181sqm (more or less) of towering native and exotic trees underplanted with foliage, meandering paths under dappled shade, birds flitting overhead.

The home is a relatively recent chapter, built in 2009 to meet the needs of an active family in an expansive, luxurious response to its beautiful environment. Solid construction spans plaster over brick and linear, coloursteel roofing, aluminium joinery and double glazing.

High raked ceilings and polished concrete floors characterise the main open plan living with its comprehensive kitchen facing the loggia and outdoor fireplace. Change atmosphere as you hunker in the lounge by the fire or move to the privacy of the master suite. Teens will gravitate to the expansive space above the garaging at the end of the bedroom wing. Enjoy piped underfloor heating for winter comfort, ample exterior doors inviting you to spend summer outside.

Loads of parking, two acres of lawn and trees for play and an original garden shed tucked under the greenery. There is also a large 150sqm (more or less) clear span (unpermitted) shed for interests, implements and additional vehicle/boat storage.

Children can walk to Te Puna Primary School in one direction or, you can stroll the km and a half to the village cafes in the other. Local roads facilitate easy access to Bethlehem and Tauranga City. The Omokoroa Cycle Trail passes nearby; there is a boat ramp at the harbour's edge not far away.

A special place to create many more happy chapters in your family history.
