The vendors of Tea Tree Orchard at 554 Rangiuru Rd, Rangiuru describe their expansive lifestyle block as private and peaceful, with potential.

And that’s an accurate descriptio­n of this lovely property set on sought-after Rangiuru Rd.

Tucked away behind an attractive hedgerow is a 2.7879ha tree clad property that has been thoughtful­ly designed and planted with trees and vegetable gardens to keep you supplied with the freshest possible produce all year round. And there’s potential to earn some useful pocket money with the 35 lemon trees, 33 lime trees, 36 avocado trees, 130 feijoa trees and 14 additional fruit and nut trees that your family will enjoy.

Enter through the wooden gate and you find plenty of room for parking, with a substantia­l two car garage as well as a handy workshop. Behind the garage is a polytunnel where you will be able to raise your seedlings or winter vegetables. There’s a strong feeling of home as soon you enter through the stablestyl­e front door into the warm and welcoming foyer, which has an efficient free standing wood fire which heats the entire house with ease during the colder months.

Off the hallway are three bedrooms, a bathroom and laundry as well a spacious master suite, with walkin wardrobe, ensuite and ranch slider giving private garden views. The open plan living is fresh and modern and the country style kitchen and easy-care flooring are ideal if you have young family.

Here, outdoor entertaini­ng is a breeze with a large deck overlookin­g the garden and bushland. Accessed via a wooden boardwalk is a second deck with power set up ready for your spa pool, while down off the deck is a fire pit where family and friends will enjoy many an evening.

Not only can you grow your own fruit and vegetables, but there’s a chicken coop which you can populate with hens to provide you with fresh eggs, and enough spare land to graze a lamb or two and make huge savings on your weekly shop. You’ll even be able to harvest your own firewood right on the property, making even more savings.

The property’s location is very central, being just 12 minutes’ drive from Te Puke township, which offers education facilities from pre-school through to college, a wide choice of shops and services – and a friendly and welcoming community. Tauranga City is a 46-minute drive away, depending on traffic, while Rotorua is just 49 minutes away.
