The Perfect Lifestyle - Coast and Country

Set across 5.2490ha (approx.) in sought after Thornton, this exceptional lifestyle property offers the perfect balance of country living and coastal convenience, positioned on the Rangitaiki Plains in the Eastern Bay of Plenty, with close proximity to the beach, boat ramp and only approximately 15 minutes from Whakatane.

A picturesque entrance, complete with pond and stunning seasonal colour on the tree lined driveway, creates an unforgettable introduction to this amazing property. Beyond, the property opens to a beautifully established lifestyle setting with fertile land, mature gardens and extensive infrastructure designed for relaxed rural living.

The two level country home combines warmth, character, and generous proportions. Offering four bedrooms, two bathrooms, an office, and three separate living areas including a large formal lounge, the layout provides flexibility for families of all sizes.

The kitchen has the original 1987 Rimu features with good bench and cupboard space, a double dish drawer, walk-in pantry, a wall oven with a separate hob, while multiple living spaces connect easily to the outdoors. A guest bedroom is on this level for convenience. Upstairs, the master suite features vaulted ceilings and ranch slider access to a north facing sunny deck, while additional bedrooms enjoy peaceful rural outlooks. Heating is well catered for with a freestanding fireplace and three heat pumps.

Complementing the main residence is a fully consented self contained one bedroom cottage complete with Kent fireplace, bathroom, kitchenette with gas hob and independent living capability with separate vehicle access for convenience. This cottage is ideal for extended family, guests, supplementary income or an Airbnb potential.

Infrastructure throughout the property is extensive, including double garaging attached to the house, additional garaging, workshops and sheds and an impressive 11m x 5m boatshed/campervan shed. A lean to woodshed and chook run further enhances the practicality expected from a quality lifestyle property.

Outside, the grounds are equally impressive. A grass tennis court, established gardens and wide open green spaces create an environment designed for both entertaining and enjoying the outdoors.

The land is divided into 14 fenced paddocks with electric fencing, water troughs and supported by the reliable Braemar water scheme. Separate septic systems service both the main home and cottage.

A complete lifestyle package offering space, versatility, infrastructure and the rare opportunity to enjoy country living with the coast and boating lifestyle right on your doorstep.
