Luxury home, pool and surprise features inspire lifestyle options

- By Jo Ferris

Country lifestyle adopts new meaning with this property – lifestyle that offers opportunit­y to escape city bustle, set up a new business, or take family along for the ride and give them a place they can call their own. Sitting on State Highway 2 – in the triangle between Pukehina Beach, Paengaroa and the gateway to Te Puke and Papamoa – this property is intriguing. Intriguing, because it represents dedication to creating a property of substance and then some. It showcases resort-style living with a swimming pool setting and exotic gardens that allow playground recreation. Complement­ing all that is the added bonus of not one, but two high-spec tiny homes, together with some major garage space – both internal and separate.

It is quite unexpected to discover a property of this level along this coastal stretch. Given the congestion happening in Tauranga, Mount and Papamoa – this property shows foresight that will be hugely welcomed in the future. This is but a short stint down the Eastern Link to Papamoa, where the new Golden Sands Town Centre is due to start commenceme­nt. It’s handy to the beach at Pukehina; a short drive into Paengaroa’s boutique village and within short drives to both Rotorua and Whakatane. Location – sorted.

What better place to invest in lifestyle? This is a comprehens­ive developmen­t – near new, designed and finished with attention to detail, appreciati­on of space and definitely a love of leisure and entertainm­ent. It begins with a home of substance. One that revolves around a gourmet kitchen designed with casual entertainm­ent in mind, thanks to the brilliant island centrepiec­e. Quality cooking caters for formal dining, before entertainm­ent stretches into two lounges, or out to the pool and its resortstyl­e invitation. No expense has been spared with the finish and quality of fittings – or the space that has been dedicated to each area.

One of the major features is the billiard theatre room. And theatre it is. Apart from the full- size snooker/ billiard table, which offers hours of entertainm­ent, the overhead projector comes into its own later, come movie time – cool refreshmen­ts in the fridge quenching the thirst for all this activity. Elegant finish flows throughout the home – a matching theme threading continuity from the kitchen to bathrooms and laundry.

Apart from a four-car internal garage, there’s a separate garage with extra space for time-out sessions. But it’s the two, high-spec tiny homes that increase the lifestyle options here. Set discreetly in their own corner and fully furnished, they offer separate quarters for family and friends – sheltered verandah settings on each, providing precious time in the sun or meditation. Think shared family? Weekend escape? Festive gatherings? The potential is endless – left to the imaginatio­n and what the future holds. On the edge of city life, this is where the city will end up.
