Home on the Ridge

A country haven with land to graze, a large stylish home and beautiful coastal views \nBacked by native bush and mature trees, which shield the prevailing wind, this home sits near the top of its ridge facing two glorious scoops of coastal view with Mayor Island clearly outlined. \nThe large family home exudes comfort and calm while easily absorbing a crowd. Convivial benches surround a massive entertainer's kitchen with double ovens below five gas hobs and a barbeque burner. The big practical tiled open plan living has bi fold doors to an expanse of patio which meets an expansive slightly elevated deck, the perfect place for eating outdoors before a spa under the stars watching the distant lights. The view side of the home also encompasses a formal lounge and a soothing soft blue master suite, both with their own bi-folds outside. Children can dash outside easily too - the family wing has sliders off two of its three bedrooms. An office off the foyer, plenty of storage and large laundry complete a practical but sophisticated country home. \nThere is additional accommodation adjoining the double garage and, down the drive, a versatile open three bay shed for farm equipment, hay and firewood (chopped from the pines beside the drive.) An old stable at the top and a set of yards with loading bay at the bottom of the biggest paddock complete the buildings on this 6.8174 ha grazing block where the paddocks fall gently from the ridge. The largest one yields 350-400 bales of high quality horse hay annually. Good land for raising cattle, to run sheep or graze horses, these slopes give you scope to derive some income off the land and combine it with a city career in Tauranga less than half an hour away. \n
