Katikati
200 Tanners Point Road, Katikati, Katikati, Western Bay Of Plenty
Grace and Favourite
This is a special place of tranquillity and serenity on the
waterfront in a private scenic setting overlooking the upper
Tauranga harbour.\n\nThe 4,843m2 property is accessed down a
camellia lined drive which passes the post and rail fences of an
1160m2 portion which is ready to subdivide (subject to survey) with
services like power, water and telecom already in place. A few
fruit trees, mature neighbouring trees and camellias lining its
boundary have created a perfect setting for a home which would have
sea views from an upper level. This would in no way impede the
privacy of the existing dwelling which commands the outlook.\n\nThe
classic brick home which spreads long and low across the rise above
the view was built in the mid 1990s by an English couple. It
achieves just the right balance of graciousness and comfort with
the sense of settling well into the very New Zealand environment it
embraces. There is plenty of parking outside the double garage,
plus an extra parking pad to service the one bedroom flat should
you wish to rent it out or use it as home stay accommodation, or a
large home business base.\n\nEnter the welcoming foyer and you
start to notice the attention to detail and exceptional finishing,
Decorative cornices and moulded ceiling features, solid internal
French doors, crafted skirtings all contribute to the understated
beauty of the interior. Five sets of French doors access terrace
which runs right along the home so you are always in touch with
your surroundings. At one end a wide practical kitchen backs a
family room with solid fuel heater; this well used area is fully
tiled. French doors open to dining room behind a bay windowed
formal lounge with mantelpiece and decorative fire surround.
Through more French doors find another lounge/library or office.
One of the three very generous double bedrooms off the hall also
fronts the terrace as does the master suite at the end. Carpets are
new, the interior has been freshly painted and both bathrooms have
recently been extensively updated with new tiling, one with a glass
shower and a luxurious Victoria and Albert oval bath and the other
has a fully tiled walk in shower. \n\n A large deck off the back
door forms the link between the main home and 'The cottage'. Its
sunny lounge/kitchen has French doors to the deck, bedroom,
bathroom and large storage room tucked behind. \n\nThe side garden
has a shed and raised vegetable beds. The front lawn sloping gently
then bordered by intensive native plantings as ground cover and
steps to a path to the waters edge. Enjoy perfect tranquillity over
the harbour and Tuapiro reserve highlighted by the occasional water
skier speeding past, boats in the deep water mooring below, horses
winding their way around the beach.\n\nBe prepared for this home
and its environment to cast a spell on you, Be prepared to welcome
your friends and family to share its special character. Enjoy a
property with plenty of options and the choice to complete the
subdivision and sell the section.\n\nLocation\nTanners Point is a
small coastal community of quality residential homes just seven
minutes from its nearest town, Katikati and ten minutes from
popular but never crowded Waihi beach, a beautiful stretch of sandy
coastline with a beachy village atmosphere. Tanners Point has an
all tide boat ramp, and plenty of deep water mooring.\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.\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\nIn Brief:\n
