Sunny serenity, views, avocados near Tauranga City
When you live in sunny privacy just outside Tauranga, at optimum elevation for a wide semi-circle of views, the income from your orchard seems almost a bonus. Arrive on the property up an olive tree hedged drive, more olives enhancing the home grounds which merge into the orchard and grazing of the 4.4130 ha (more or less) very slightly undulating property.
Enjoy the light and bright interior of a spacious Landmark home clad in plaster over block and spread out along the northerly aspect. The high stud, cathedral ceiling in the living area and external doors galore ensure you are always in touch with your environment. Patio spans along the sunniest side, a courtyard off the kitchen perfect for morning tea (or feeding orchard workers). The layout is fantastic for family with master bedroom and large bathroom one end, a versatile, child friendly wing the other.
The triple bay shed with workshop may become a second home for some blokes! Ample space in 174 sqm (approximately) for orchard equipment and big roller doors to admit the tractor, boat or camper. An open bay and extra overhang pay dividends in additional shelter.
The orchard comprises around 160 mature avocado trees for an active or passive income; whether you choose to work it yourself or have it managed. There's a good load out area created by a high movable electric fence. The two large paddocks slope gently between two orchard blocks; add a couple of smaller paddocks, yards and loading bay and you have good workable grazing for a few cattle or horses.
A bore supplies water to a storage tank with filtration.
This beautifully husbanded property offers exceptional rural living with all the benefits of urban proximity, a local garage at the bottom of the road, Tauranga Crossing shops less than 15 minutes away. Easy to combine country life with a city career when can soon be home to watch the sun set over the Kaimai Ranges, the city lights up below and the coastline on the horizon fade away for another day. Sold plus GST if any.
