8 Phillips Drive, Oropi, Tauranga, Bay of Plenty

Properties in wonderful Oropi Downs are highly sought after and rarely come up for sale. Much of the appeal lies in the homes being situated on lifestyle-sized sites so close to the city. This impeccably presented 313 sqm (approx.) brick home on a 3,974 sqm (approx.) site epitomizes everything desirable about living in this tightly held location.

In 2018, the five bedroom home underwent extensive refurbishment, including the addition of top quality hardwood flooring, tiled bathrooms (featuring bidets, ensuite bath and under floor heating in both), double glazing, and European inspired fittings, giving the home an elegance enhanced by the generous spaces.

One of the bedrooms has separate access, making it a fantastic option for a work from home setup or guest accommodation. A detached double garage, in addition to the home's double garage, features a refurbished kitchenette and bathroom, offering further flexibility for work, hobbies, or additional living space.

Heating options abound, with a large wood burning eco fire taking centre stage in the open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area. The kitchen is further complemented by a practical scullery. Two covered outdoor areas are ideal for dining and lounging, allowing you to fully enjoy the beautiful garden setting.

The land has a variable contour and has been extensively planted with a wide variety of flora. A veritable food forest includes an array of mature fruit and nut trees, while a private seating area on an elevated platform allows you to take in the garden's beauty. The garden is enriched by a variety of native species, amongst others pohutukawa, rimu, kauri, kowhai and puriri. A chicken coop is also included, making it easy to enjoy fresh, home-raised eggs. A robotic mower takes care of the lawns, and much of the land has been underplanted with low maintenance ground cover.

This is a stunning property where you can enjoy the relaxed lifestyle you've dreamed of, without the lengthy commute often associated with rural locations. Don't miss this opportunity - you can't go wrong!
