Multiple Income Streams Close to Town

This property packs a lot of punch for the hectare it sits on. The home was the first to be built on Joyce road so it also comes with a lot of history. The current owners have been here for over 20 years proving how desirable the property and location can be. The three bedroom original cottage has been complimented by a self contained accommodation at the rear of the property. There is also 0.6 canopy hectare of green kiwifruit adding to the appeal and income options

Property: The sealed driveway leads under the mature trees flanking the entrance which also adds to the privacy of the home from the road. As you would expect from a house of this age it is built the old fashioned way, solid with native timber, built to last. Even better is the current owners have sympathetically modernised the home while protecting its heritage. Three bedrooms and a large living area this home is bigger than it appears. A separate sunroom adds to the space. A wood burner with wetback keeps the home warm in winter while adding to the ambience and keeps the power bills to a minimum. A heat reticulation system ensures the fire warms the whole house. The whole home oozes character and by installing things like insulation and underfloor polystyrene it has combined the best of old and new. Separate from the home is a double garage with plenty of workshop space. Attached to this a self contained accommodation which is ideal for extended family but it could be another source of income. With its own bathroom, laundry and kitchen facilities the options are extensive. The mature grounds with a selection of fruit trees continue the appeal while creating separation from the kiwifruit. While the kiwifruit can provide a good income, the contour of the land is ideal for a pony and with good shelter around the property the choice is yours. Your own bore on the property secures your water supply if you do chose a different horticultural option.

Location: Few regions in New Zealand or the world for that matter have as much to offer as the Bay of Plenty. From the gentle harbour waters to its surf beaches, its fishing and diving grounds to the scenic bush, the Bay is as much a quiet recreational playground as it is a thriving business and rural community. Key economic elements for the region include Tourism, Horticulture (predominately Kiwifruit and Avocado production), Viticulture, Pastoral farming, Forestry, Housing and Holiday Makers. The rapid growth in the area provides now has a city feel and a vibrant living environment from job opportunities to business prospects with a sustainable future. Tauranga as a city is one of the fastest, if not fastest growing cities in New Zealand. With a mixture of beautiful scenery, great beaches, cafes, restaurants and nightspots it is more than a city it is a lifestyle. The award winning schools also provide a key reason why Tauranga is proving to be such an attractive destination for both ex Kiwi's and migrants as a place to set up their new life in New Zealand. Joyce Road is conveniently near the city boundary. It is easy to get to the city via the expressway. Schooling includes local country school at Pyes Pa and city schooling including Aquinas College which is a bike ride away on the edge of the city.
