31 Te Puna Quarry Road, Te Puna, Western Bay Of Plenty

Escape to the country

Nestled amongst the abundant orchards of Te Puna, this is the perfect pocket of paradise you've been looking for. Wander the garden, on approximately 0.97ha of land, enjoying homegrown fruit that changes with the seasons; oranges, lemons, plums, peaches, apples, nashi, avocado, feijoa and even macadamias. Wild chickens peck freely around the property with tui, fantails, wood pigeons, kakariki and even kaka enjoying the mature trees. Reduce the power bill by gathering firewood from the grounds to feed the Marshall stove that can heat the water.
The main dwelling offers three bedrooms and one bathroom upstairs with a sun-soaked triple aspect lounge and open plan kitchen/dining/living area, making this an easy to manage home with places to escape. Walk out onto a generous northwest-facing deck and enjoy barbeques or the pizza oven before soaking in the spa.
Downstairs is a generous man-cave basement with a recently added teenage retreat, complete with its own shower and toilet. The garage and carport are ideal for cars and toys, or it could be a home hobbyist's dream.
The two-bedroom cottage, with garage, is privately positioned, away from the main dwelling. This is ideal for extended families, additional income, or landbank as a future subdividable opportunity.
The current owners run a popular cattery that was established as a retirement hobby and is now a thriving, lucrative business. It offers the ultimate work from home opportunity for anyone who craves the time to potter about the property and also be home to welcome the kids after school. This may be the dream rural lifestyle you've been searching for or you could easily close the business to fully focus on the land.
Dash out for coffee, physio or a facial at the newly revamped Te Puna shopping centre a few minutes' drive away, before returning to your private sanctuary. Beautiful Te Puna Quarry Park is an easy walk with stunning views of Mauao and the Kaimai Ranges.
Previous owners called it the Garden of Eden - could this be your next iconic purchase?
