FEATURING

Recently upgraded access to State Highway 2 via a new roundabout means easy travel South to Tauranga or North to Auckland, and just 12km to Katikati, providing convenient access to daily needs. Note the added benefit of a park and community tennis courts just minutes away.

Built with passion and traditional flare by Tony Farley of Central Builders.

This large home’s layout, with effectively dual floor living, has enabled the current owners to operate a successful Bed and Breakfast on the ground floor, enjoying entertaining and the privacy of their own home on the first floor. The layout offers ideal options for families, small and large.

A covered entry and large foyer connect the ground floor family room and accommodation spaces, which include an ideally located office that could equally serve as a generous 5th bedroom. Ground floor rooms have external entry to the patio and gardens The three other bedrooms on this level include one with a private ensuite and one with a shared ensuite, and all have large wardrobes. Shower glass throughout the home is Diamond Fusion treated, and marine grade laminate bathroom cabinetry reminds one of the focus, not just on timeless aesthetics but also on quality and durability throughout the home. There is a separate powder room servicing ground-floor guests and a cellar room under the stairs.

A large, beautifully fitted-out laundry with extensive storage cleverly incorporates a kitchenette for the ground level and a mudroom entry to the residence. This separates ground-floor accommodations from the two substantial internal access double-car garages, and attic storage space.

Main living areas are light and bright, bathed in all-day sunshine and inescapable views. The large open-plan kitchen enjoys panoramic views and high-quality touches with imported Palazzo glass-clad cabinetry and solid stainless steel fixtures. It’s solid Oak flooring also encompasses the large dining area, which separates the living room and additional lounge spaces. An extensive wrap-around deck ensures multiple outdoor living opportunities with immersive views on this level. An external staircase provides direct access to the gardens.

A substantial master suite occupies a large portion of the first floor and is well separated from the main living areas. A feature picture window frames sunrises over the harbour, and it’s uncommonly large dressing room and ensuite are complete with a stone bath.

Outdoor living with first-floor decks and ground-floor patios is further complimented by a beautiful vine-covered pergola. Set in the garden in a sheltered location with an adjacent outdoor sink, it makes for a romantic alfresco dining and entertaining space. There is ample space for the addition of a swimming pool or other lifestyle elements.

Comfort is assured throughout the home with thermal window dressings, timber plantation shutters, argon-filled double glazing, wool insulation, and quality Noirot electric convection wall heaters in all living areas. Quality details such as stainless steel exterior fastenings and stormwater grates, an over-specified infinity hot water system, and laminated deck posts are but some of what should be appreciated in a more detailed appraisal of this property.

Planted in 2020 in a high-density 5x3m format with industry-leading consultation from Erica Faber, Dr Jonathan Cutting (Trevelyan’s), and Richard Kok (AVOCO), the avocado orchard contains 450 cloned Hass/Dusa trees with Zutano/Dusa pollinators. This is a benchmark orchard serving as an industry example to local growers with its modern format, pressure-regulated micro-sprinkler irrigation, and integrated fertigation system.

Water to the home is from the WBOPD town water supply, and the orchard is supplied from tanks (65,000L total) filled by roof rainwater collection.
