A sensational family environment built over two levels for practicality, style and views.
A fantastically huge hearted home with all the space you need for family life as the children grow and needs change.
In a stylish mix of edgy industrial chic, opulent comfort and sensible practicality this home has been built to maximize the lay of the land and to benefit from surprisingly gorgeous Mauao, Tauranga city, and rural views from where it rests neatly in the lee of the hill.
It's an unapologetically big home (326.05m2) with a basement garage and workshop which will have men drooling, beside a huge rumpus room (with its own kitchenette) which will have teenagers grinning, and out the back an in ground pool with a covered storage area for bikes and toys and access to the large laundry for wet kids.
The guest room and bathroom complete the lower floor. Ascend stairs from the soaring double height foyer to the living level where open plan takes in beautifully appointed entertainer and family kitchen (cavity sliders to the pantry) facing a large dining area beside an ingenious nook with wide window seats for kids to sprawl. Cavity sliders divide off an atmospheric lounge; and all faces the partly covered alfresco terrace for entertaining as the lights of the city come up as the sun goes down.
The master suite shares the view for parental bliss once the kids have gone to bed in their rooms lining the hall behind, after bathing in their one of three stylish spacious bathrooms.
The grounds have been planted in orchard and easy landscaping with plenty of places for kids to play and even a paddock for the pony, to raise a couple of 'beefies' or have pet lambs.
This is an exceptional family and entertaining environment offering rural living just outside the city boundary with easy access to city amenities and education.
Location:
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.
