The green serenity of beautiful podocarp native forest that occupies nearly two thirds of this property is beautifully balanced by spectacular rural and coastal views from the elevated home grounds. The outlook forms a stunning semi-circle taking in nearby Otaniwainuku Scenic Reserve, rolling hills, city lights, Mauau, Tauranga Harbour and out to sea, with those legendary Kaimai Ranges sunsets as an evening bonus.
From sunrise to sunset live bathed in sunshine in a home that exudes character while providing the warmth and comfort created by an extensive upgrade featuring a total exterior reclad which included joinery and roof and insulation. Inside, find a recently installed bespoke oak kitchen into which morning sun pours, new bathrooms and fresh paintwork. Interior timber floors gleam and stacking doors and a louvre topped deck enable exceptional connection to the outdoors from open plan living.
There is evidence of the original timber merchant builder in the four double bedrooms with delightful dormer windows upstairs, topped by an attic which runs the full length of the house, ideal for hobbies or that train set! The attic also enhances the copious storage within the home. External sliding doors one side of the double garage provide flexibility for other uses, there being ample space to build further garaging/shedding.
Steps lead down to an inground pool (more a resort area) which can be heated. A bore on the property ensures there is supplementary water. Graze a few sheep or a couple of cattle in post and rail edged paddocks which merge into the native bush where endless adventures for children (even glowworms) await.
