Situated only 10 minutes from the CBD in the popular Te Puna lifestyle zone you will find a wonderful opportunity for rustic and rural family living on 1.47 ha, combined with multiple income streams and future subdivision potential once the Tauranga Northern Link is completed in 2026. This well-constructed family home has 272 sqm of generous living space to enjoy. With north-facing views of the Kaimai Ranges, you will be spoilt by the sound of birdsong from dawn to dusk. There is also a charming and sun-drenched 50 sqm, 2-bedroom cottage set amongst the trees to welcome friends and family or to rent out. The accommodation level of the main house has 4 double bedrooms with garden and orchard views including master with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. Heated with a cosy woodfire burner the generous living and dining area has a natural flow and connection to the orchard, with doors opening to an elevated deck. You can enjoy views of the blossoming garden from the well-planned kitchen or watch the resident pheasants and quail going about their business as you immerse yourself in the peace and tranquillity of country life. Downstairs is a huge 103 sqm double garage with storage and mancave potential. The orchard itself is in excellent condition with 65 mature Hass avocado trees that you could either manage yourself or leave to the professionals and reap the rewards. The cottage itself has a rental appraisal of 26k per year. Hidden away in the orchard is also a large chicken coop and bird aviary which could be brought back to life if you choose. It's close to the stunning bushwalks, streams, and ponds of the scenic Minden reserve. Just minutes away from the inner harbour beaches and boat ramps of Te Puna, and 5 mins only to the Bethlehem Shops. For families, it's zoned well for excellent schooling.
