Perfect Mix in Popular Location

An orchard delivering the perfect mix of lifestyle and income, country peace and city convenience.\nThe 3.5106 property is divided into three blocks, each well sheltered and sunny. The orchard includes 1.41 can/ha of Hayward kiwifruit with a stand of pines at the very rear of the property. The loading bay for the orchard is right behind a deep and versatile four bay shed for orchard implements including tractor and sprayer(available with the property) and with plenty of 'man shed' space. Further along the tree framed drive the home nestles in a superbly sunny spot where the garden melds into the orchard. The 220m2 plaster over brick home has been immaculately maintained and offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and two living - one as part of the open plan space which and opens to a suntrap tiled patio above timber decking. Gravitate to the spacious second lounge in winter when you can light the fire and enjoy the low afternoon sun across the front patio. The master suite has a door to the garden for a quick dash to the in ground pool. A sky lit garage (with toilet) behind the carport has doubled as studio/workroom. \nThese owners have enjoyed it for 39 years, brought their family up here and developed the orchard in what is now a very sought after Te Puna lifestyle location. The burgeoning Bethlehem Town centre is five minutes away, Tauranga city ten and there are two local cafes within a five minute walk. Children can walk to primary school; good bus services access city secondary education. Just right whether for a family, to enhance city career with orchard income, or provide a fulfilling semi retirement.\n\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.\n
