Prime location with mature avocados

- By C Scott

There’s lots to love about this 2.8033ha property at 47 Te Puke Highway – not the least of which is its location, just seconds from the Eastern arterial highway, and mere minutes from the well-establishe­d and rapidly-growing coastal suburb of Papamoa.

In fact, so good is the property’s location that Property Brokers rural sales consultant Brett Ashworth describes it as “absolutely prime.”

Brett, who has had a huge amount of experience marketing rural properties, says the elevated site has free-draining soils and would be suitable for most agricultur­al/ horticultu­ral purposes. Well set up, the prime flat land is currently used as a lifestyle property, with a useful income from 1.86 ca/ha planted in 200 mature avocado trees.

Exceptiona­lly private thanks to beautiful mature plantings of trees and shrubs, the buildings on the site consist of an exceptiona­lly well-maintained four bedroom family home with a spacious and well-designed kitchen with gas hob and dishwasher.

The master bedroom is fitted with a quality ensuite and there’s a second full bathroom, plus an office. Brett says the home features superb craftsmans­hip, using attractive native timbers throughout. Both the dining area and two living rooms easily access a sunny, north-facing conservato­ry deck which is just perfect for semi-outdoor living throughout the year and is the ideal place to relax with a coffee. And the icing on the cake is a well set-up sleepout which provides further space for visits from extended family or friends.

The property comes with a large six-bay half-round barn which is fully closed in with doors at both ends. It has a concrete floor and power and provides an excellent workshop or storage area with two road entrance ways. Water is provided from both town supply and the property’s own bore.

Brett says the well-presented property offers a host of options as far as its future use is concerned, and new owners will reap the benefits from 1.86 ca/ha planted in 200 mature avocado trees.

As well as providing an excellent rural family lifestyle, with its proximity to Papamoa and the coast, 47 Te Puke Highway also offers a supreme land banking opportunit­y in an unbeatable location, he adds.

So close is this attractive property to the coast that it’s possible to drive straight down Domain Rd to one of Tauranga’s best surf beaches in five minutes (depending on traffic). Forecast to become a city in its own right in the not-too-distant future, Papamoa boasts a full range of schools right up to college level, as well as a huge selection of shops, supermarke­ts, cafes, restaurant­s and health services. There’s a full range of community services and the stunning white sand beach offers all manner of recreation­al options. If you do need to visit the city, downtown Tauranga is just a 17 minute drive away by the quickest route, as is Mt Maunganui.
