112 Ruahihi Road, Lower Kaimai, Western Bay of Plenty, Bay of Plenty

With little to do at home except relishing the lush rural landscape, there's plenty of time for family leisure activities such as kayaking, swimming, or trout fishing in the Wairoa River, which borders the property (via reserve), or cycling along the Ruahihi canal to McLaren Falls cafe. Nestled privately on 4.13ha, this property showcases a beautifully renovated four-bedroom cottage, a 3-bay shed, grazing paddocks, native bushland, and income from an established avocado orchard.

The 143sqm home is positioned to capture the lush rural vista and is thoughtfully designed to maximise both indoor and outdoor living spaces. With its character accents, including beautiful native Tawa floors and timber benchtops, it exudes charm complementing its board and batten structure. Recently updated by the owners, including a roof and exterior repaint, as well as the addition of new thermal-break double glazed joinery, a heat pump, and a DVS heat transfer system, all aimed at enhancing comfort and convenience for potential buyers.

The open-plan kitchen and dining area, equipped with double ovens, are perfect for keen cooks. The family living room, with a woodburner for cozy nights, provides direct access to the large deck, ideal for entertaining. Two bathrooms and a separate laundry complete the interior layout.

The fenced grounds are suited for pets and young children, enjoy a wonderful home orchard with an array of 20+ fruit trees and a chook run for fresh eggs.

There's a separate open double garage and a 90sqm shed for cars, boats, storage or hobbies. The property also includes a 170-mature Hass avocado tree orchard, offering passive or active income, with the remaining land divided into two grazing paddocks for a few beefies or sheep.

Ruahihi Road is a popular location for easy access into Tauranga Crossing (9km) and a school bus service at the drive makes life very comfortable for families. (Sizes and distances are approximate).
