Your own rural paradise, close to the beach

You’ll enjoy the best rural lifestyle available at 809 Pikowai Rd, Whakatane.

Here your family will enjoy the freedom to do their own thing on 8.26 hectares of land, just 125m above sea level, and close to one of the best fishing beaches in the Bay of Plenty.

Completed just last year, the modern family home is a 140sqm Keith Hay design with a spacious and large, sunny north-facing deck. It has three bedrooms and two bathrooms (including a master bedroom ensuite), as well as two lounges. The home occupies an elevated position with peaceful views of the surrounding countryside.

Buildings on the property include an 84sqm Totalspan shed constructed in 2019. Set up with four bays – three of them lockable and there is one carport bay, with a concrete floor and power. There’s also a small steel cattle yard and a basic transportable cabin which can provide extra accommodation.

Here, you could enjoy an almost selfsufficient lifestyle as the property includes 5ha of fertile grazing pasture, easily capable of supporting sheep and cattle or horses. Water comes from a bore on the property.

The Pikowai area is renowned as a great place to live, and fishing enthusiasts will particularly like the fact that it is just minutes from one of the best fishing beaches in the entire Bay of Plenty. Whakatane, the gateway to the East

Coast, is 40kms away, as is Te Puke and it’s an easy hour’s drive to Tauranga, and an hour and five minutes to Rotorua.

And there’s more – much more, as new owners will enjoy a nice income from 2.05 ca/ha of Hayward kiwifruit.

The property is handily located, with Whakatane the nearest large centre and Rotorua and Tauranga cities an easy driving distance away.

Peaceful and private, 809 Pikowai Rd is being marketed by experienced lifestyle and rural specialist Brett Ashworth, who says the property is certain to attract keen interest, especially as there is so much potential to add value for future gains. “The vendor has their next phase planned and wants a sale. Bring all offers,” says Brett.
