A Couple of Country Acres Between Two Cities

Relaxed country living with scope for enhancing the opportunities in land and buildings. Tauranga and Rotorua are equally handy when you live in the country almost midway between the two. This 9594m2 property has plenty to offer. The main two level home has a large modern family friendly kitchen flowing easily to dining and spacious lounge (heated by gas and open fires). The sunroom glazed to hold winter rays facing a deck for summer sunning. There are three big double bedrooms, office and bathroom up; a second bathroom and massive rumpus/party room opening directly to the tennis court below. A cobbled courtyard separates the house from the double garage which is flanked by a large storeroom/ sleep out and a one bedroom granny flat. There is room for enhancement and options for usage, scope for a large home business base. Various outsheds serve the grounds and the two well fenced paddocks which can graze a couple of cattle, a few sheep or a horse or two. Macrocarpa shelters from the prevailing wind, black walnuts, rimu and Japanese cedar are a few of the many trees including thick foliage shielding the roadside. Enjoy the splendid isolation of the country when in fact you live almost equidistant between two cities, great for the daily commute either way. Tauranga is slightly closer, and made even more convenient by the expressway (toll road) into the city. \nIf you ever run out of fun at home the TECT All Terrain Park is six kms along the road, ideal if you keep a horse and want extra places to ride; great fun on foot and for trail and mountain bikes. \n\nLocation:\nFew 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.\nKey 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.\nTauranga 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.\n
