Rural Living On The Edge Of Town

Lifestyle personified assumes a prestigious mantel at this elite Te Puna address - on the fringes of Tauranga City - in fertile plains where orchards thrive. With around 1.057 hectares, it's enough to play with and plenty to cherish the privacy. The home orchard boasts 40 avocados, while the impressive house sits to the north of this flat block in relative seclusion. \nSupporting the orchard is a large shed, connecting lean-to with shower and toilet, plus solid water storage with two 30,000 litre tanks. Perfect, considering there's a huge in-ground swimming pool. Solar panels on the shed roof create 2kw of power to heat the pool. There are solar panels on the house as well - and, with gas to the hobs and the fire, this home is kind to the purse.\nBuilt around 1997, brick and tile set a comforting tone outside; while solid rimu carries the character inside to create a home of substance. An atrium greets at the front door where space surrounds you and instils the invitation of charm and grace. The design follows open-plan common sense, while defining dining and living rooms. Rimu and stone bench top raise the quality in the kitchen, which serves family life well and feeds outside to make pool parties a breeze.\nThis mood of excellence continues in bedrooms and bathrooms - with brilliant space, a designer bathroom for the master suite and semi-ensuite luxury for the other king bedroom. A study gives options for work or a single bedroom and mod cons enhance the grand life here. Sun screens, electric awning, central vac - to name a few.\nGracious gardens and nature's touch surround this home. The John Deere ride-on stays - so remove any worry about mowing lawns. It's one of those relaxing pastimes that make life so appealing here.\nQuality doesn't come any better. Given the land, the location and lifestyle; this property won't last long.\n\nLocation:\nFew regions in New Zealand or the world for that matter have as much to offer as the Bay of Plenty. From the gentle harbour waters to its surf beaches, its fishing and diving grounds to the scenic bush, the Bay is as much a quiet recreational playground as it is a thriving business and rural community.\nKey economic elements for the region include Tourism, Horticulture (predominately Kiwifruit and Avocado production), Viticulture, Pastoral farming, Forestry, Housing and Holiday Makers. The rapid growth in the area provides a vibrant living environment from job opportunities to business prospects with a sustainable future.\nTauranga as a city is one of the fastest, if not fastest growing cities in New Zealand. With a mixture of beautiful scenery, great beaches, cafes, restaurants and nightspots it is more than a city it is a lifestyle. The award winning schools also provide a key reason why Tauranga is proving to be such an attractive destination for both ex Kiwi's and migrants as a place to set up their new life in New Zealand.
