Enduring Home Superbly Set

Live serenely sheltered above native bush, within gracious grounds,
and beside versatile flat land.

In a superb setting above a
bushy gully, framed by native trees planted by these owners 35
years ago, this lofty and spacious architect designed home displays
crafted detail in timber and Hinuera stone, enduring quality in
construction, conscientious maintenance and a view from every
window. A conservatory added later draws sunshine from early
morning and affords gorgeous garden and bush views. A new kitchen
was installed three years ago and the home has been completely
reroofed recently. Living spans the northern end with large casual
space (with gas fire) beside the kitchen which separates the formal
dining stepping up to a big formal lounge with solid fuel
fireplace. Ceilings here and in the bedrooms are Tawa and the
timber detailing and built in cabinetry throughout speaks of
craftsmanship and considered design. Overhangs shelter patio
running the length of the home and opened to by living areas and
all three generously sized bedrooms. The ensuite has been upgraded
with a fully tiled shower and you can dress with a view of the
garden in the airy walk in wardrobe. There are two big store rooms
in the home and the laundry even enjoys a garden vista!

This
4.5474ha property has approximately 2 hectares in beautiful New
Zealand bush, dropping down to bound the Raparapahoe stream. Beside
the half hectare (approximately) of home grounds is approximately 2
hectares of well sheltered flat land, currently in grass. This land
would lend itself to grazing or is an obvious option for a
horticultural venture. It is served by a comprehensive three bay
shed with spray storage, toilet and tea room, which includes
workshop space and a rear 'tractor shed' with doors each end.


Live within ten minutes of Te Puke and relish tranquillity and
bird song. Recreate your own path to the stream or use the local
one just 100 metres down the road which accesses a waterfall and
swimming hole. Yet another bonus of this property is a viewing
platform where you could spend hours contemplating nature, catching
a glimpse of the ocean and even spotting the new arterial route
which is bringing Te Puke ever closer to other main centres.

Location
Few 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.
Key
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.
Te
Puke is known as the Kiwifruit Capital of the World. New Zealand's
booming kiwifruit industry had its beginnings here. It's now a
major export crop; hundreds of local growers produce millions of
trays of the traditional 'Green' and the succulent 'Gold' that are
shipped out worldwide. Te Puke is conveniently located in the heart
of the Bay of Plenty region and just a short drive from its major
centres - Tauranga, Rotorua and Whakatane. Te Puke also has a
flourishing farming sector - based on dairying, cattle, deer and
sheep. It is also known for honey and bee-related health products.
