A double garage and carport are attached to the single level home while another powered double 37sqm garage and 18.5sqm carport are separate and surrounded by flat grounds on this 2275sqm (more or less) lot of rural/residential zoned land. Beyond the need for covered storage are land and buildings to support a home based business. Garden boxes are in place for the green fingered. Citrus and fruit vines are producing. Beyond the pleasant ground surrounds of flat green lawns and box hedges is an over 180 degree vista over state highway 29 to a multitude of native trees that stand tall over the Kopurererua Stream valley. On the horizon are the majestic Mamaku and Kaimai Ranges that define this Bay of Plenty region on the central east coast of New Zealand's North Island. The home is not fussy but comfortable thereby presenting an opportunity for buyers who thought they could not afford a semi rural setting this generous and this close to the city's employment hubs. The new Crossing shopping and service complex along with the Tauriko industrial park, both major employment hubs are within the five minute drive zone while the District Health Boards Tauranga Hospital, another major employer is approximately 8km away. The Takitimu express toll route junction is a minute or two from this address making the journey to the central business district and to the white sand beaches of Mt Maunganui a swift one.
