The five-bedroom Golden Home, built in 2005, is a robust brick and tile construction with double glazing throughout.

Among the property's many assets, a 15-year-old truffiere stands out, planted with an irrigation system for optimal yield. Known as 'black gold', the annual Perigord truffle crop enjoys steady demand, offering a reliable income stream. Two-thirds of the trees are hazelnuts, producing a secondary harvest. The leased grazing land provides effortless income or could be repurposed for expanded truffle operations, livestock, or equestrian use in the well-fenced paddocks, complete with hayshed and stockyards.

Adding versatility, a spacious shed serves as a workshop with room for two cars and includes loft storage, a chiller, and a one-bedroom sleep-out with a bathroom and living area - ideal for BnB or a home business. Adjacent to the sleep-out, a large carport accommodates a boat, campervan, or extra parking.

The pristine Karaponga Stream flows through the grounds, supplying drinking and irrigation water for the property, while trout and eels inhabit its clear waters, perfect for exploration.

The property also includes a variety of established fruit trees and space for a vegetable garden. Ideally located, it's within walking distance of Onepu Community Park, close to the scenic Karaponga Waterfall, and on the bus route for Otakiri Country Primary School. Key destinations include Whakatane (30 minutes), Lake Rotoma and Kawerau (15 minutes), Rotorua Airport (45 minutes), and Tauranga Airport (1 hour).

A rare gem combining lifestyle with income potential, this property invites you to enjoy the best of country living. With its income streams and serene surroundings, it's truly a lifestyle block to treasure.
