236C Tim Road, Whakamarama, Western Bay of Plenty, Bay of Plenty

A genuinely unique rural retreat created with respect for and appreciation of the exceptional views and natural beauty. Grazing, orchard and grounds occupy a gently sloping plateau above a gully of native bush with a river running through it.

Opportunity abounds on 6.3520 hectares (more or less) where current COA approved accommodation choices span beautifully executed, rustic sophistication with the wow factor. The ultimate of the superb views is reserved for the perfect building site on a concrete pad backed by a large existing carport. There is elevated one bedroom accommodation with spacious living and a dramatically delightful bathroom. Wide deck fronts the living and bedroom, a second side deck for outdoor dining. Concealed down some steps, cabins are joined by a deck overlooking the bush, served by bathroom facilities above, complete with outdoor bath.

For another spectacular house site go no further than one of the two grazing paddocks that slope up above the existing buildings and ground. Live here sustainably and semi off grid with solar and hydro power, water drawn from the pristine river with a waterfall. This river, accessed by a track through the bush, is a highlight of the property, for its beauty, its waterfall, its large swimming hole a source of pleasure all summer long. Cross the river and climb the hill to a camping site.

A fantastic retreat where children can run free and flourish, have pets and ponies, where the extensive orchard and vegetable plots feed you, happy hens lay for you. A place with potential to develop so guests can also appreciate that this is a rare slice of Kiwi paradise within easy reach of Tauranga City.
