40 Upper Ohauiti Road, Ohauiti, Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty, 3173, New Zealand

This garden of Eden is a magical place for hide and seek, where the kids and dog can create their own adventure. Here on the city’s edge, you’ll nestle amid nature; glimpses through trees to the Kaimais from upstairs and an intimate garden link downstairs. With an outlook to farmland on one side and a seemingly endless grove of trees all around, this oasis feels much larger than its boundary shows. Backing on to Boscabel Estate’s northern boundary, out of sight from any roads; birdsong and seclusion are your only neighbours.

 

Inspired by that, you’ll also be impressed with this home. It’s as intriguing as the garden; different in so many ways. A home that defies its age and offers a haven to live, work and play.

 

If you love vintage fashion and fastidious care, this will rouse your senses. In touch with nature, the solarium is idyllic. A corner for the spa and somewhere to listen to the trickle of water after a day’s work upstairs. The huge office has inspired these owners for years, but this room’s versatility lends to many other options as well. Space is the significant factor here; from bedrooms to the various lounge and dining settings. Warm throughout as well, with heat pumps and a gas fire.

 

Feel like you’re lost in the country, but appreciate that you’re close to reality. It’s a pleasant jaunt down the road to city links into Tauranga, the Mount and beyond.
