In An English Country Garden

Approached through colonial timber security gates and a tree-lined driveway, this captivating historic property is truly unique. Within the 12 acre estate lies sweeping lawns, delightful English country style gardens, mature trees, five acres of native bush with bush walks and abundant birdlife, 4 acres of grazing for the family pony, a 3 acre stand of 15 year old redwoods for future income, a 14mx7m colorsteel shed, together with the most gracious 1907 double bay villa one could hope to discover. With 327m2 of superior craftsmanship, formal and informal living, country kitchen, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, office, library, and conservatory, a stroll through this beautiful residence will enchant you. Moved to its current site from Te Puke in 1977, and masterfully restored to provide contemporary comfort while exuding a welcoming feel of warmth and charm, this is an exceptional family property enjoying all-day sun and the serenity and benefits of country living with easy access to city, beaches, golf courses, bike track and bush walks in the Bay of Plenty's playground. A rare rural sanctuary 20 minutes from Tauranga CBD and close to the highly-regarded local school.
