Set in one of New Zealand's sunniest regions, this exceptional lifestyle property offers a rare blend of tranquility, space, and genuine earning potential. The expansive five-bedroom Golden Home sits amid established gardens beside the meandering Karaponga Stream, surrounded by fertile land, native birdlife, and complete privacy. With an impressive line-up of improvements - including a substantial shed, workshops, haybarn, and established 17-year-old truffiere - this is a property where your lifestyle and your income can flourish side-by-side.

The beautifully maintained brick-and-tile home features generous open-plan living with a wood burner, heat pump and solar water heating, plus a covered deck for year-round enjoyment. If you're drawn by the appeal of truffle farming, grazing income, or simply a peaceful country lifestyle near beaches, schools, and the Whakatane township, this property is the one for you.
