Shed, Grazing and Style with Views

This flat 3.24 hectares of land currently fenced in five paddocks could suit horticultural purposes. The 378m2 home elevated to the views across the rural surrounds to the city and harbour enjoys 24 hour views. Being subdivided off an established property there is already a mature tree line drive adding to the appeal. A 108m2 shed with high stud makes this an attractive property in an enviable location. Property:

This land was owned by the vendor for a while before they decided what they wanted to build on it. This allowed them to figure out what the weather does in the different seasons, what the light does at different times of the day to perfectly position the home. The outcome was they developed the house site to elevate the property to give the home and gardens a view over the whole property. Even better it opened up the view to the city, Mount and inner harbour with an orientation to the north the home enjoys the benefits of all day sun This home was only finished late 2010, at 378m2 boasting 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms this home has been finished to an impeccable standard. Everything in this home is generous in size and well proportioned. The master bedroom which opens to the view means you don't even have to get out of bed to enjoy the panorama. The en suite and walk in wardrobe, both substantial in size provide space even when you are both getting ready at the same time. The rest of the bedrooms enjoy their own separate wing giving the kids space to make their own noise and mess or guests the privacy a home of this size affords. The kitchen an island galley side is practical in both layout and position. It is central to the home and the living areas, while being set back from the outdoors you still enjoy the view while cooking. An open plan style living area has the view as its focus and enjoying the outdoors was vital in its layout and function. Two substantial concrete patio areas off the two living areas give you a choice of where to barbeque or entertain. This is also practical, you can still enjoy alfresco dining while being protected from the elements. To add to the hard areas around the home like the substantial concrete entrance and drive the vendors have also landscaped all the gardens leaving little for the new owners to do. For such a new home it is surprisingly established and fits in seamlessly with its surrounds. Quite separate from the home on another level is the 108m2 shed with 3.6m stud. It has a sizeable yard beside to store further equipment/vehicles that don't need the protection of the big shed. If you ever needed more shedding it is an option here. 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. Oropi while being just out of the city still maintains a great rural feel. Greerton village which has restaurants, a supermarket and a shopping centre that caters for most needs not to mention a selection of award winning schools in close vicinity. Hereford Rd being a loop road off Oropi means there is little traffic which is in keeping with the quiet rural feel. As you can see just driving up the road this area is an enclave of substantial and attractive homes however not often spoken about, well regarded to those in the know.
