Secluded Country living on the city fringe with Bethlehem college over the fence and the Mills Reef Winery nearby.
The 9633m2 park like environment is elevated for a beautiful rural outlook which sweeps across the Wairoa River with the Kaimai Ranges forming the ultimate backdrop to all that precedes it. This magnificent House of the Year award winning home has been planned and thoughtfully appointed for supreme comfort and ease. Enjoy tree fringed privacy with a winery over the back fence and Bethlehem College grounds abutting one side. Neither encroaches in any way on your lifestyle but great for the kids to get to school. The added bonus of living in such a location will see you enjoy the annual school fireworks display and winery concert without leaving home!
This is a home created by connoisseurs with no compromise on quality. Generous spaces start with the huge double Blackwood doors which open into a soaring atrium style foyer with schist feature columns and plenty of natural light that streams in through a large wall of glass that wraps around the sweeping staircase. Off the main foyer area is the Media room and the intimate cellar area. Views are of course a feature of the large open plan living areas that are positioned to enjoy everything that the sun drenched Bay of Plenty has to offer. The kitchen was built around the double oven Rangemaster stove with both gas and electric hotplates and has flexible work spaces and tonnes of bench area with windows opening to the barbeque.
The five large bedrooms are spread over both levels. You can retire in complete luxury to the stunning master suite with the generous ensuite offering you everything including a soak in your own large spa bath which has windows opening out to the view. A second bathroom serves the remaining upper bedrooms which all open out to the large curved balcony. Many happy hours will be spent out here enjoying the views and the last of the evening sun. The deck overlooks the picturesque garden pond with its small jetty, dinghy and Maimai offering an insight into the rural roots that saw the current owners settle here - so close to the city.
The lower wing offers scope for separate guest wheelchair friendly accommodation. High studs, varied and interesting windows and multiple exterior doors from the living areas and both bedrooms downstairs allow you to feel as though you are living with nature. There is extensive storage built into the home with a utility room off the triple car garaging. A lift serves the upper floor though sweeping up the wide staircase to the even wider landing is an experience in itself.
A large 12m x 12m American barn style shed with big boat sized central door adds options for business and pleasure and sits discreetly to the rear of the property with plenty of parking outside.
This property it situated at the end of a quiet Bethlehem right of way only used by the property owners and their visitors. Decor Garden Centre is at the top of the ROW and all the Cities amenities are a short stroll away, With Tauranga's CBD only five minutes drive away this really is the best that Bethlehem has to offer .
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.
I specialise in the regions high value property assets but that’s not all I do.
I am involved with the region’s most prestigious rural and lifestyle properties. High end, high value property assets are my specialty however I enjoy marketing any of the diverse range of rural and lifestyle property opportunities that the sun drenched Bay of Plenty has to offer. Having been a consistent top 20 performer for Bayley’s nationwide since I began my real estate career I still enjoy every minute of it. Tauranga and the greater Bay of Plenty region has a large range of rural and lifestyle properties to choose from, I have had a large part to play in the prestigious waterfront market in and around Tauranga for many years but still enjoy the grass roots lifestyle properties that the Tauranga surrounds are so popular for.
I have sold high end lifestyle properties on small holdings of land right through to larger scale farms. I have a proven track record in all things real estate. Of course with our climate kiwifruit and avocado orchards feature prominently but I also represent larger rural blocks and farms which require a broad understanding of rural life. I have lived on a large lifestyle property for many years which has helped me achieve my results and goals as I understand the challenges anyone new to rural life may face.
I look forward to working hard to achieve a great result for you and your valuable property asset whether it be a property that only a select few can consider, a farm, an orchard or of course a lifestyle block that the whole family can enjoy.
The market is moving, don’t get left behind.
