126 STEWART ROAD, Apata, Western Bay Of Plenty, Bay Of Plenty

Stunning small rural property with panoramic views

Rarely does a rural property come on the market that offers so much in a small package - a two-bedroom, two-bathroom home with potential to expand, two on-site businesses, two work-from-home spaces, a leafy garden, 13m lap pool and all the peace and tranquility you could ask for.

Mature trees and the beautiful garden initially draw you in, the light-filled house with high ceilings and views from every window has that x-factor - then there’s the flexibility the property offers.

Two separate work-from-home spaces, a proven B&B setup, and a small working flower farm. There’s also the option of building a secondary dwelling for intergenerational living or rental income.

The main house has one bedroom and bathroom, walk-in wardrobe, a kitchen-living space with dining alcove, and front and back verandahs that essentially give you two further outside rooms. One of these is surrounded by a sheltered, leafy courtyard and looks out over the breathtaking flower garden.

The views from this sunny house are outstanding, both out to the Tauranga Moana and across to the Kaimai ranges - you get both stunning sunrises and fiery sunsets, with framed views from every window.

A second bedroom and bathroom are in a stand-alone building adjacent to the main house, with its own private verandah and views out to sea. Perfect for a live-in parent, friends and family, or B&B.

Adjacent to the one-car garage is a 20m2 workspace, currently used as an artist’s studio. Another small building tucked into the garden is used as an office but could double as a sleepout or teenager’s bedroom.

The owner is part of Tauranga’s flower market - the Floral Hub - and there’s a huge range of trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals on the property perfect for floristry. There’s potential to expand the flower business or extend it into a grower/florist operation.

These reviews from B&B guests say it all:

“Stunning little hideaway overlooking amazing view”

“A beautiful & tranquil place to escape”

“It was the best place in the whole two weeks NZ trip”

“Honestly a slice of heaven”
