Te Puna Affordable and Modern

This sunny sheltered one hectare slope off Snodgrass Road is a blank canvas apart from a fully renovated elevated two bedroom dwelling and a good sized shed. Local orchard and farmland is layered before you with outlook to the distant hills. \n\n Property:\nA very wide right of way off this prestigious Te Puna road narrows to access several properties well back from the road. An extensive renovation to the cottage provides a near new living experience at an affordable price. This one is ideally situated for people with city commitments but country desires. You could create a rural lifestyle to come home to. You can commute to central Tauranga within 15 minutes. \n\nThe land is bordered by high shelter and faces north east for all day sunshine. You could incorporate some existing leveling into your chosen house site or start from scratch and develop your own setting. Gardeners may want to turn the entire two and a half acres (1.0034ha) into park like country grounds. You may want to plant a fruit trees or fence some off for sheep or a horse. There could be potential for a small horticultural enterprise. Whatever you do you will be unlikely to lose the layered rural views. Shelter belts form a mosaic of greens over undulating land of rural Te Puna and beyond. \n\nThe existing solid iron shed with vehicle sized doors both front and side would be useful for storage and, depending on your plans, remain as part of your property. The drive runs up the side of the property then curves below the dwelling to a large flat area outside the shed, from where it continues up to a paved parking pad outside the house. While small in size there is everything needed here for a retired couple to a young family. Nothing has been spared in the renovation from a new kitchen with granite bench tops, a full repaint and brand new carpet. Two living areas will give you space or could be converted to a third bedroom.\n \nLive in Te Puna and you benefit from a country lifestyle with the harbour playground at the end of the road. Swim off the reserve or launch the boat for a day on the water. Children can attend a country school or bus easily to a choice of secondary education. You can work in the city but find everyday shopping even more convenient at Bethlehem's rapidly growing shopping centre. The completion of highway upgrading will improve your access even more.\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.\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.\nWorking in the city and returning home to the country is feasible with Tauranga's CBD just fifteen minutes away, burgeoning Bethlehem a mere five. Harbour access at the bottom of the road opens up all the water activities that makes this area so popular.\n\nIn Brief:\n
