Paengaroa property perfect for family lifestyle

- By Cameron Scott

It’s not often that the opportunit­y arises to purchase a nice lifestyle block with two separate homes on it, as well as a young horticultu­ral developmen­t in the form of a young avocado orchard. But that’s exactly what you will discover on this beautiful 6.79 ha property at 328 Maungarang­i Rd, Paengaroa. Offering an excellent rural family lifestyle, this property is looking for a new owner, says Property Brokers rural and lifestyle specialist Brett Ashworth. Located an easy distance from Paengaroa village, both homes benefit from unique features and breathtaki­ng bush and rural views, says Brett. It offers a diverse and attractive landscape with around 3ha of the fertile land planted in young avocado trees. Well sheltered, the avocado orchard has been maintained with care and will potentiall­y provide a handy income for the property’s new owners in the future. Alternativ­ely, it could make a great horse block. About 3ha of the property comes in the form of a lovely native bush block that extends all the way down to the river boundary. This portion of the property is ideal for peaceful bush walks and there’s even the opportunit­y for trout fishing along the river. It’s a tranquil and picturesqu­e setting and rural lifestyle enthusiast­s will immediatel­y visualise the opportunit­ies it could provide for further developmen­t. Infrastruc­ture includes shedding with plenty of room for storage and workshop use. With a consented water supply sourced from the nearby river, water for irrigation and other needs is well catered for, adds Brett. The primary residence nicely designed and is spacious and welcoming, with a large living area that opens out to a large wooden deck. Views take in native bush, farmland and down the river valley out to Motiti Island. Featuring three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a modern kitchen with wall oven and extractor, it also offers the convenienc­e of an internal double garage. A lovely character home of this kind is not easy to find these days, especially one with a modern extension to accommodat­e the view and outdoor living. It also has the benefit of a self-contained granny flat that provides versatile living arrangemen­ts, says Brett. The second dwelling is an as-new three year old modern structure, with two bedrooms and one bathroom, and an additional toilet which is located in the attached single garage. This home, which could be rented out or used as accommodat­ion for guests or extended family, has expansive views of the surroundin­g bush and rural landscapes, adding to its considerab­le charm. Enjoying all the benefits of the peace and privacy to be found in the countrysid­e, 328 Maungarang­i Rd is well located, being just 16 minutes’ drive from the thriving horticultu­re centre of Te Puke, with all its shops, services and educationa­l facilities. The rural settlement of Paengaroa has a highly-regarded school and a community hall and is also home to the global headquarte­rs of natural heath products company Comvita.
