This impressively comprehensive property presents a superb combination of high-quality residence with stunning views, prolific food gardens, big versatile barn, 30 acres of grazing and 20 of covenanted bush with multiple streams and waterfalls. All power to you too with 45 solar panels plus hydro-electricity keeping you smugly off the grid. However returning to the grid at any stage would be simple as all the infrastructure is all still there. Approach up a cherry tree lined drive to the plateau where a beautifully executed 383m2 Landmark built home faces due north commanding an everchanging panorama of coast, Coromandel and Kaimai ranges. The central kitchen and casual dining are flanked by a day room and formal dining linking the main lounge. The spaces can all merge as one or each be made more intimate by closing cavity sliders. The four-bedroom (plus office) family wing draws heaps of sunshine on the east end of the home. Stairs evoking "Gone with the Wind" curve up from the foyer to a magnificent master suite beside which is a semi open lounge overlooking the living space. Its shuttered portico has the best view of the farm and beyond. The 12 hectares of efficiently laid out well fenced grazing comprises 13 gently contoured paddocks. The lush pasture which has successfully fattened Herefords would be equally good for other stock and especially horses. It would be simple to incorporate stables in the 400m2 three bay barn with mezzanine accommodation. The barn roof is ideally sited for the solar panels which feed 24 batteries at the back of the home's triple garage. A hydro unit in a stream close to the house serves as a back-up for the solar system. Depending on what level you want to keep your batteries charged to there is a significant generator that is always available for backup and top of the off grid system. Live in a friendly country community close to Tauranga on a pretty special property which offers you lots of options for growing, grazing and enjoying.
