Bay of Plenty Property

Enjoy all the advantages of living in a close country community balanced by peace and privacy on your own 1.7619 ha (4.4 acres). Spread yourselves out in a home where parents can escape to their big master suite one end, children to their wing at the other; and all meet in the middle where three sets of sliders front open plan living and the sunny lounge beside it and spill you onto wide semi covered deck along the north side. The office or 6th bedroom has proven ideal as a nursery as it is located near the master suite. Easy to keep an eye on your animals (and on views as far as the Aldermans and Mayor Island) when your land slopes subtly from the home grounds towards the north. The land is a nice rectangle sensibly fenced into two large paddocks, one smaller one and a couple of holding paddocks, all of which funnel towards the wide yard. The 'farm shed' is three bays, one currently a tack room or storeroom, with a loose box in one of the two versatile open bays. There's cover for a large vehicle behind the shed. Hedges one side separate the home from the shed and yard; a maturing home orchard occupies a strip on the other side of the grounds. Sarona Park, where you live, is superbly situated on a sunny plateau almost completely surrounded by bush with access to the Omanawa River and swimming holes. Joining the community association gives you access to riding and walking tracks through neighbouring land and some of the 13 ha of protected bush, plus the use of the pavilion and tennis court. And, of course, you get to meet all the friendly locals. The burgeoning retail and services centre at Tauriko's Tauranga Crossing bring urban amenities ever nearer while the city's CBD is only 20 minutes away.
