A well husbanded 150 tree avocado orchard, about 400sqm of shedding and a timeless contemporary home in a prime location with water views.
Flat land with free draining soil supports a mature orchard of mainly 24-26 year old trees with a consistently good production history; records dating back five years available. The orchard is in two blocks divided by high shelter. Good access to an excellent load out area outside a flexible set of sheds, formerly a packing shed. Ample options offered by the open and closed bays, workshop areas, storage rooms, meeting or recreation room, bathroom facilities.
Home is a masterpiece of pared back architectural expression that hovers above swathes of lawn with strategic landscaping and fruit trees. Live in privacy and peace with, estuary, harbour and views over Mount Maunganui, orchard outlook to the rear. Conceived by Noel Jessop Architecture and a national finalist in the 2016 Architectural Design Awards, the European larch clad dwelling displays restrained sculptural forms, discrete angles, monochromatic interiors that sing cohesion and comfort.
Essentially two 'floating boxes', the living and bedroom wings are separated by a glass walled hall with a louvre topped outdoor room between the two. Subtle simplicity, refusal to compromise and superb siting for all day sunshine and outlook combine in creating a relaxing and inspiring environment with access to the water across the road, the Omokoroa Cycle Trail passing the gate.
A standout home in a beautiful orchard, perfectly placed for a passive or an active income.
