Near New Home in Desirable Location

This 314m2 home was only finished just over a year ago, it is rare to have such a modern home in this enviable location. Being set on 3760m2 (sts), on the edge of an avocado orchard there is mature tree life all around all the while the owners have been hard at work establishing the surrounding gardens. Schools, the water and harbour access just down the road and Bethlehem only minutes away these are some of the reasons this area has such a good reputation.

Property: The vendors have owned this land for nine years and established the surrounding orchard into a top producer. It was a plan from early on to build a home on this very spot and they have developed the property with this in mind. Keeping the mature trees around the home is a real advantage, providing shelter and protection from the elements and the road while giving a new home an instant established feel. The substantial drive provides ample space for kids to play safely while allowing friends and family to park and leave with ease. Upon entering the home the modern feel continues with a warm colour palate and welcoming atmosphere inviting you in. The home was the vendors own design and is a compilation of their experience and good ideas they have seen and enjoyed over time. The use of wooden flooring through the well used living areas provides a warm, durable, yet appealing finish. The kitchen is the centre of the living areas and sets the tone of the modern home. A 900cm gas stove, stone bench tops, double width fridge/freezer, and an island bench/breakfast bar gives you an appreciation of the standard of this home. Beyond the kitchen is a relaxed family area which joins the substantial decking area via large bi-fold doors to the rest of the living. The double glazing through out the home is substantial, making this home very well naturally lit while allowing flow to the outdoors from pretty much everywhere. At one end of the open plan living area is the formal dining while at the other is living space. This boasts space and provision for a large flat screen and surround sounds not to mention the gas fire with a heat transfer system which heats the whole home. From this room you have direct access to a large glass covered substantial deck area you can enjoy out door living no matter the weather, and has direct access from the master bedroom at the other end. You can see why this area is so well used with spa, outdoor furniture and barbeque all conveniently under cover. The home boasts three generous bedrooms plus an office which is size enough to be a fourth bedroom if needed. The second and third bedrooms share a private bathroom and there is a third toilet for guest purposes. The garaging completes this considerate home with a 9m deep double garage boasting a single roller door at the back with opener for the ride on or easy access to your workshop space. The home has been positioned to provide space for a pool and a tennis court if you wish while being set far enough off the road, traffic noise is not an issue.

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. Te Puna is 'the lifestyle area in Tauranga. Snodgrass Rd being close to the water and having access to the harbour continues the appeal. Only 15 minutes to the city and even less to Bethlehem while living on a rural sanctuary surrounded by like minded people completes the package that Te Puna has to offer.
