20 Acres.... 20 Reasons Why!!
8.4410 ha with grazing, duck pond, Pine plantation
Modern 3 bedroom home with dual living with office
Five Bay shed plus other farm facilities
Central for schooling and main centres.
A pretty country property combines good grazing with contemporary living and pine trees to 'bank'.
Up a gentle drive off Pongakawa's historic Old Coach Road this 8.4410 hectare property with its elevated home exudes kiwi ingenuity and has been lovingly nurtured into an alluring lifestyle offering.
Several hectares of grazing, well fenced to control stock movement and maximise grazing potential. The stock graze amongst strategically placed poplars and Eucalyptus trees which give shelter during the summer months and provide a commentary on the seasons as their foliage gently whispers the intent of mother nature, a beautiful tapestry to behold. A pond also graces the landscape.
On the hillside to the left of the driveway 2,000 pinus radiata have been recently replanted after the original 20 year old trees were harvested. The income stream obtained surprised the owners and broken down equated to a healthy $5,000 a year over 20 years, an added bonus.
The property is served by a range of sheds, the main one being a high stud five bay shed with concrete floor and a 20x8metre implement shed/workshop with a useful lean-to. Other ancillary buildings are handy as are the small stock handling facilities.
The concrete driveway ensures easy access to the home sited proudly above its domain. It is a warm contemporary board and batten home with great indoor outdoor flow, a sail covered patio to take advantage of the all-weather barbeque conveniently adjacent - a great place to enjoy balmy summer evenings while kids play on the wide flat lawn. With open plan living and a second lounge this home is very inviting for the family with crisp modern décor and the luxury of an ensuite bathroom enhancing a genuine family home with welcoming atmosphere.
Enjoy country life within the Pongakawa /Pukehina school zones with a school bus service to Te Puke High School. You can choose your shopping cities from Tauranga, Mount Maunganui, Te Puke, Whakatane and Rotorua - all within reasonable distance. Choose beaches or lakes - both within convenient reach!
It all adds up to a special retreat and somewhere you will appreciate with every morning that breaks.
Location
Te Puke is known as the Kiwifruit Capital of the World. New Zealand's booming kiwifruit industry had its beginnings here. It's now a major export crop; hundreds of local growers produce millions of trays of the traditional 'Green' and the succulent 'Gold' that are shipped out worldwide. Te Puke is conveniently located in the heart of the Bay of Plenty region and just a short drive from its major centres - Tauranga, Rotorua and Whakatane. Te Puke also has a flourishing farming sector - based on dairying, cattle, deer and sheep. It is also known for honey and bee-related health products.
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.
