Love summer, and every season, when home is a riverside retreat bordered by reserve in a beautiful natural environment inviting calm contemplation and fun frolicking in the swimming holes of the pristine river on your doorstep.

The sleek and contemporary design ensures the ultimate in spacious and comfortable family living. With a layout that offers both communal gathering areas and private retreats, this home combines form and function seamlessly. From the top-tier exterior finishes to the interior fitout, every detail is meticulously crafted to make this home look as impressive as it feels. However, it's the natural surroundings that truly make coming home and staying home a delightful experience.

The black brick and cedar home bows to nature, almost camouflaged as it spreads itself along the rise above the banks of the beautiful Wairoa River, bush clad hillside rising across the water.

The 4089sqm (more or less) property forms a loose triangle, the northerly frontage facing river reserve, the east of two hedged sides abutting an even larger expanse of grassy recreational reserve.

Riverside rural life within city reach transports you from career to calm as you relax on the wide covered deck, soothed by surround sound and nourished by nature while children cavort happily on grounds landscaped for low maintenance and eye appeal, a few fruit trees too.

Practical points include a comprehensive scullery, ample interior storage greatly enhanced by the garage attic, a concealed 22,00 litre tank to collect rainwater off the roof, lights along the drive.

Civilisation is handy with choices for city access, Tauranga Crossing retail centre a mere eight kilometres away, buses to primary schools and city colleges.
