A Countryside Gem with Breathtaking Views

Nestled on a 5,957m² lifestyle section, this charming 1950s weatherboard villa offers the perfect blend of the peacefulness of rural life, modern comfort and easy maintenance convenience. Boasting stunning views of rolling countryside, the glistening harbour and sitting center stage Mount Maunganui- this property provides a rare opportunity to enjoy peaceful country living without sacrificing convenience.

Imagine unwinding on the expansive veranda, soaking in the ever-changing scenery as the neighbour’s dairy cows graze in the paddocks below and ships glide into Mount Maunganui port. This four-bedroom home is rich in character, featuring polished native timber floors and an inviting open-plan living and dining area. A cozy log burner ensures warmth during the cooler months, while the beautifully renovated kitchen, laundry (including a second toilet), and bathroom seamlessly blend modern amenities with the home’s timeless charm.

Significant renovations over the last five years have elevated this home’s appeal, ensuring both comfort and longevity. These include a complete reroof of the house and shed, driveway tar-sealed, a new water filtration system, interior ceilings replaced, and a modern security system installed. The entire property has been thoughtfully upgraded, with a complete landscape transformation, the addition of fruit trees, reinsulated roof and underfloor and new gas hot water system. Both the interior and exterior have been freshly painted, and underground septic pipes have been replaced. The veranda now boasts a newly added roof, enhancing outdoor enjoyment year-round.

The gardens are truly a gardener’s delight, featuring meticulously landscaped grounds bursting with colour and life. Meandering pathways lead through a stunning array of mature trees, lush greenery, and vibrant flower beds that change with the seasons. Vegetable gardens provide fresh produce for those who love to grow their own food, while a well-established orchard offers an abundance of fruit trees, including citrus, apples, pears, and stone fruits. Thoughtfully designed terraced gardens create a breathtaking visual appeal, complemented by secluded nooks perfect for relaxing and enjoying the tranquility of nature. Whether you’re an avid gardener or simply appreciate the beauty of flourishing outdoor spaces, these gardens provide a serene and rewarding retreat. Additionally, a pétanque court, offers a fun and social outdoor activity for family and friends to enjoy.

For those requiring additional storage or workspace, a substantial four-bay shed—complete with a mechanics pit—caters to a range of practical needs, making it ideal for hobbyists, tradespeople, or anyone needing extra room for their pursuits.

This is more than just a property; it is an invitation to experience a lifestyle where nature and convenience harmoniously coexist. With ample space to enjoy country living while remaining within easy reach of town, this is a warm and welcoming community where neighbours become friends, and life slows down to a more enjoyable pace. Don’t miss the opportunity to make this stunning lifestyle retreat your own.
