Heaps happening on this sunny hillside property above the beautiful bush bordering the Waipapa River.

The board and batten home sits on a sunny plateau at the top of the 2.0461ha (more or less) property garnering the best of the sunshine and superb outlook. It exudes an air of relaxed rustic sophistication with a massive lounge and other living areas facing near north, family bedrooms in one wing and a sun soaked, panoramically pleasing, perfectly private, master suite on the upper level. The clear covered outdoor living along the front of the home is a total suntrap and enhances the warmth of the interior. The sun works hard here, also powering 22 solar panels on the roof for enhanced electrical supply.

When children aren't creating in the craft room or swimming in the pool, they will be playing on layers of lawn linked by steps and paths, or checking on the animals in the gently sloping paddocks currently grazing sheep and alpacas.

A stylish shed is currently used as additional accommodation and recreational space in this hidden haven about 20 minutes from Tauranga with a school bus just up the road and Whakamarama country school and village the community hub.
