The Good Life to Grow Your Kids

If living the dream is about fresh air, a few animals for the kids, and a nature wonderland to explore, then this 4559 sqm (approx.) lifestyle property meets the brief. Located on the rural borders of Welcome Bay just a minute from Waipuna Park, an extended family who want wide open spaces will be able to savour the best of both worlds here. The recently modernised family home with guest cottage shares over an acre of land comprising grazing pastures, native bush gully with trickling brook, and sub-tropical gardens sheltered behind mature treelined boundaries.

The exterior of the main three-bedroom 2001 built residence has just been rejuvenated in black stain to express 2022 trends. The interior has also been given a makeover in cool white including to soaring ply-lined raked ceilings. Open plan living and dining areas overlook the bush and bask in north facing sunshine. Entertaining can be expanded by opening the French doors to include the huge deck and newly created covered alfresco seating. The melodious chorus of tui and other birdlife adds to the sensory experience in this serene setting and guests will loiter round the barbecue long into the night. A brand-new designer kitchen from the talented team at HK Kitchens will delight the keen foodies while a modern family size bathroom with separate toilet serves three double bedrooms. The privately situated permitted sleepout for family or guests has an open plan lounge with food prep area, one bedroom and a modern bathroom with shower and vanity.

The extra height double carport will take a boat or camper and there’s ample parking for a crowd. There are sheds for the usual equipment that comes along with rural life and the kids will squeal with delight at the sight of the playhouse. The local school buses go right past the gate and from centre of the city or Tauranga Crossing to this idyllic nature haven it’s only 15 minutes by car.
