Seldom will a parcel of land with these features and of this size come to the market in the very popular Te Puna location within a ten minute drive to Tauranga City.\n\nComprising of 12.2 hectares (subject to survey), the majority of which is flat in contour, this land was once owned and farmed by one of Tauranga's earliest settlers to the Bay of Plenty region. Now the descendants' of the original family have decided to sell part of this exclusive piece of real estate and it's your chance to enjoy.\n\nWith mature gum trees to the north of the property and Pohutakawa trees to the east there is potential for a number of house sites, the preferred option an elevated area overlooking your property with the majestic Wairoa River in the background.\n\nSome nine fenced paddocks containing a large shade tree in each, once housed a stable of racing horses; this could easily be reinstated for your ponies as the stables and its tack shed still exist or just graze the land to your desire. \n\nThe Bethlehem Shopping Centre is less than a five minute drive and then a short ten minute commute to Tauranga City, all from this private lifestyle location.\n\nThis is truly a fantastic treasure and one you should view or find yourself regretting a missed opportunity.\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.\n\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.\n\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\nLocated just over the Wairoa River, a short drive north from Tauranga City, Station Road turns to the right and then a short drive along here is the property.
