On 5.6 hectares, this is an incredible harbour edge, city-side location, capturing breathtaking views of Mauao, the harbour and beyond, while offering the privacy, space and tranquillity that only country living can provide.
Follow the mown pathway to your own kayak and paddleboard launch site, where endless harbour adventures await from your doorstep.
Designed for year-round comfort, the modern country home is double glazed, air conditioned, has a spacious sunroom and a covered portico that extends the living outdoors in every season. The master suite and main living areas, open up to private water views to Mauao and the surrounding park land.
Adding to the property's uniqueness is a natural freshwater spring, one of the many springs that gave the Te Puna area its name.
The land is well suited to lifestyle farming, with five grazing paddocks ideal for cattle, horses or ponies. A sixth paddock has been retired and planted in native species, creating an attractive conservation area. Ecological and surveyor reports indicate that formal protection of this area could enable subdivision of an additional 2 lots, subject to the necessary approvals, or provide the opportunity to sell two potential Transferrable Development Rights (TDR's).
The recent purchase by WBOP of the property next door will yield a nature reserve in front to enhance your view and three small rural lots that create a subdivision precedent, which will be useful in the future.
Equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the ability to ride directly to local pony club facilities along scenic tracks around the Wairoa River headland. Cyclists will love the direct connection to the cycleway network, get on your bike to the city, the local cidery, Omokoroa and the harbour trails beyond.
Well-built cattle yards with a loading race and separate sheep yards and handling facilities that could also be adapted for stables or calf-rearing. A powered workshop with a concrete floor provides ample space for machinery, vehicles, equipment and storage.
The warm and sheltered site is home to exceptional established native and exotic gardens with meandering walkways, colourful seasonal plantings and abundant fruit trees. Mature trees along the southern boundary offer excellent shelter and complete privacy.
The chicken coop has heaps of space. They will love to free range during the day.
Nature lovers will be captivated by an abundance of birdlife, including the nationally at-risk fernbird, royal spoonbill, grey heron and many other exotic species.
The driveway currently reflects its rural setting with an unsealed surface. An agreement is in place for the roadway surface to be upgraded and sealed following completion of a neighbouring home, with costs shared equally between the three users.
The retiring vendors leave with heavy hearts, having lovingly nurtured this remarkable property. They are proud to present a rare opportunity for a new family to enjoy the lifestyle, natural beauty and future potential of this extraordinary piece of paradise.
