Country Lovers' City Life

You can move to the city without leaving the country on a lifestyle property on Tauranga's fringe.\n\nIt's country lovers' city life less than ten minutes from Tauranga's CBD on 5,164m2 on the edge of an established executive enclave on the fringe of Tauranga city. Easy care landscaping surrounds an expansive four/five bedroom home with wonderful north facing outdoor living and a big side lawn which extends to a shelter tree backed orchard and vegetable gardens. \n\nBrick and cedar are impressive in a home with magnificent double door entry to a foyer which fans out to massive open plan living where bi fold doors open wide to the patio and the long kitchen bench has more bi folds as windows with an extra external bench ideal for passing food and drinks out to family and guests. The butler's pantry keeps your ample kitchen under control. The discreet bar in the dining area further encourages entertaining. Marine ply (solar heated under floor) makes attractive hard flooring in kitchen, bathrooms and utility areas.\nOn the way to the family wing of the home cavity sliders reveal a second and separate large lounge with external doors - more evidence of a great layout which gives children their own space but connects them to the communal family spaces as well, with the outdoor area as the axis to converge on. Kids get two double bedrooms and a bathroom on the east side of the home while the master suite and guest bedroom and bathroom are on the west side, with an office/fifth bedroom just off the foyer. While all three bathrooms are very generous the en suite one stands out as luxuriously so. \n\nMales may not get a shed (though there is a garden shed by the 12 tree nashi orchard) but they do get internal access four car garaging with plenty of serious workshop space at the rear, and the laundry next door to ensure grime stays out. \n\nWestridge is a tree clad residential area just outside Bethlehem where large homes nestle in leafy grounds. It is within easy reach of the city, Bethlehem village (schools, winery, shopping centre) is even closer and you enjoy convenient proximity to main roads to Auckland, Hamilton and the direct Rotorua road. \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. 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.\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
