Country Lifestyle And Income

Built in 1947 and still gorgeous, set in park like surrounds, this 25 acre property comprises a fabulous lifestyle. Resplendent of a bygone era when life was much simpler this property appeals to your soul and desire to reclaim a "style of life" for you and your family. The sparkling harbour greets you every morning upon waking and 'rush hour' means a stroll across the vast lawn with the peacocks.

First time on the market for 75 years, this home and land has been passed on from father to son and while leaving will understandably be a wrench, it's time for another family to lay down roots here. Pottager gardens, fresh farm eggs, bottling and toiling the land are on offer for the first time in all those years.

A mixture of natives and lush sub tropical plantings thrive here in abundance but maintenance is kept at an enjoyable level. After a visit and vibrant proud display by the resident peacock, retire indoors to relax toasty and warm fireside at either of the two working fireplaces.

After a satisfying day growing and harvesting your own crops, be welcomed home to the comfort and haven that the main homestead offers. Many entertaining areas (both indoors and out) encourage relaxed and friendly hospitality, while the wide open vistas both encourage and stop many conversations in their tracks, such is the beauty of this setting.

471 Kauri Point Road is a working property and harks back to the era in which it was established. Aromas of freshly baked scones, topped with homemade preserves and finished with clotted cream waft shed wards where workers are busy processing this year's harvest of avocados.

Just one of the incomes to be earned from this property. This property is located only 10 kilometers from the quaint and bustling service town of Katikati.

While Tauranga continues to 'creep' north with urban drift, this means boutique shopping and destination stores along with glorious Mount Maunganui beach is only 40 minutes to the south. An operational avocado orchard which supplies both export and local markets, the comfortable two bedroom cottage houses extra guests, while the gatehouse is a comfortable three bedroom home, separate and private from the main homestead.

This is currently being utilized for its rental returns providing the second income steam. Privacy is protected with this dwelling being 300m from the main house.

Some may wish to add a pool or tennis court and the opportunity certainly exists to do so, others will retain and enjoy this special property as is. Either way you will be glad you took time to unwind and experience this way of life and may be even decide to make this permanent and your own.

I welcome your enquiry.
