An affordable country lifestyle fit for a family or ideal for retirees with a rural bent. Enough land (6,593sqm more or less; an acre and a half) with two paddocks to run a few sheep or cattle, maybe a horse or two.

A sunny home to spread out with three family bedrooms (generous master suite, two spacious doubles) plus an office/single room. Enjoy open plan living facing covered deck on the north side, a cosy small lounge/ media room tucked behind the large main one. The elevation exposes views to the coast, Mauao and Kaimai Ranges.

An extra double garage adds storage, workshop and party den options. Water from a shared bore fills your 20,000 litre tank. Wide open spaces give you and your children freedom. Oropi Village, a kilometre up the road, fills your education and social needs with its popular primary school, pre-school and community centre.

Get away from it all on beautiful bush and waterfall walks nearby. Get amongst it all in urban Tauranga within 12 pleasant minutes' drive, easy access to the polytechnic and arterial routes in an out of the city. An easily managed lifestyle at the entry end of the rural market.
