Outstanding views, with build-site options
What’s been described as one of the larger lifestyle design and build opportunities available in the Tauranga area is being marketed by PGG Wrightson Real Estate Te Puke.
On 25.2 hectares of land at 116 Turner Road, the freehold property is in the highly prized Whakamarama area between Tauranga and Katikati.
It offers some of the widest Pacific Ocean views in the area with Mayor Island, Matakana Island and Mount Maunganui as the most prominent landmarks to the north and northeast. To the west, the property has great views towards the Kaimai Ranges. The land has varying contours, creating multiple potential building sites that will highlight those views and bring your dream home in the country closer to reality.
At present the land is mostly being used as a grazing block for young cattle, but it presents future owners with a good basic platform to create an enjoyable rural lifestyle, raising or grazing whatever the purchaser wants.
PGG Wrightson Real Estate Te Puke rural specialist Tim Gallagher says the property will present new owners with plenty of options.
Improvements include 1990s buildings consented as temporary accommodation, as well as a double garage and verandah. The buildings provide three bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom, living area, and a carport. There is also a metal all-weather driveway.
Enjoying a temperate Mediterranean-type micro-climate, the land includes ponds as well as approximately 5ha of mature Lusitanica and pine trees.
Infrastructure includes stock handling yards near the shed and there is stockproof fencing around the perimeter of the property. A loading ramp near the main access at the top of the farm makes loading and unloading cattle a breeze. Other improvements include bore water, access to council water if required, an implement shed, good access to and across the block, and good road frontage.
The possible future establishment of wetland around existing ponds or wet areas under Protection Lot rules is an exciting possibility. This property really is an uncut diamond which needs someone with vision and time and could present buyers with the ability to create an additional title, or two, subject to Western Bay of Plenty District Council consent. A consent could potentially create a variety of income streams to gain added value from the property, or simply grow your own crops such as sweetcorn, pumpkins, berries and courgettes or anything else you desire!
“No other rural property of this size and with these views is available for sale in this area, so interested parties should capitalise on the vendor’s motivation and price reduction, and come and have a look,” says Tim.
The main access off Turner Road is via a well-constructed metal driveway and wide access gates and SH2 is just a five-minute drive away. Katikati, with its multitude of shops and services, is 15kms away and Bethlehem Town is within 17kms.
