Big views, classic beauty and comfort in the home, neatly nurtured avocados in the orchard.
Spreading itself effortless across several levels enhances the easy elegance of this four bedroom home with expansive living spaces and equally expansive outlook. The view includes the meticulously husbanded 81 tree avocado orchard which spans the sheltered vale of this 2.4216 hectare property in popular Te Puna. The attractive clipped tree and palm bordered drive peels off early as separate entrance to the orchard before ascending to wide parking outside the elevated dwelling.
The ten year old home exudes classic timeless style with gleaming timber in the foyer and kitchen offsetting butter-beige carpet matching creamy walls. The bedrooms are spread for privacy with guest suite off the foyer and master bedroom in the best spot for waking to morning sun. The laundry on an upper level opens direct to paved area and clothes line behind the home.
The curved granite kitchen island bench is echoed by the curve of the balustrade of the family room deck. It steps down to more deck off the formal lounge and round to a side deck (afternoon sun) outside the formal dining space. A couple of steps separate kitchen and family room (with office nook) from the formal lounge and dining just below. The repeating formal elements of the garden are arranged in tiers which offset the outdoor living areas.
The mower and farm bike concealed behind trellis beside the extra wide double garage make easy work of the sweeping lawn and the orchard. A paddock above the long attractive lit drive provides grazing for a few stock. For ten years the avocado trees have been nurtured and pruned to ensure they produce prolifically and provide a healthy income which, in the nature of avocados, fluctuates annually. A perfectly private place to prosper just ten minutes from Tauranga, a few minutes off State Highway 2 at popular Te Puna.
Location:
Few 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.
Tauranga 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.
