An 18.2ha property with sea views, two homes, and a kiwifruit orchard is for sale.
The property includes a modern home, packing shed, and potential for subdivision into two lots.
Bayleys agent Phil Mangos highlights the property’s panoramic views and early-start kiwifruit premiums.
A 18.2ha coastal property featuring “stunning” sea views is on the market after having been owned by five generations of one family.
The property on the Western Bay of Plenty coast has two homes and an established early-start kiwifruit orchard.
Bayleys Tauranga agent Phil Mangos said the often-admired property had been owned by descendants of one family for the past five generations.
“I’ve driven past this property many times and always admired it myself.
10.7can/ha of the property has been planted in kiwifruit, comprising 6.69can/ha of G3 Gold variety, 0.28can/ha of rootstock and 3.63can/ha of mature Hayward vines.
The kiwifruit enterprise is supported by a modern 1800sq m packing shed “with cool store, drive-through canopy, office, and staff room, plus an accommodation block, complete with kitchen and ablutions facilities, for temporary picking staff,” Bayleys said in a statement.
“The orchard consistently delivers early start premiums and the crop proceeds from the current crop will be included in the sale,” Mangos said.
There is subdivision potential for two lots.
Lot 1 is about 12.7ha and includes the newer home, packing shed facilities along with G3 and Hayward kiwifruit, while Lot 2 is about 6.5ha and includes the original home and 3.42can/ha of G3 kiwifruit – subject to survey and title.
Mangos said the main residence was completed in 2001 and sat well away from the pack house, on an elevated site to capture the panoramic views of Tauranga Harbour, Bowentown Heads and ocean towards Waihi Beach, and over towards the Kaimai Ranges.
“It was designed by Mark Tatton to embrace the sunrises and natural light.

“It’s got four bedrooms, three living areas and a spacious office, beautiful raked ceilings with native timber features, and expansive glazing to really capture the views.”
Mangos said the home had several entertaining zones, but the huge, partially covered deck area and its expansive sea views were a massive drawcard for anyone visiting the home.
“A garden path links through to the water nearby, allowing easy access for all the recreation opportunities you can imagine from kayaking to swimming or wind surfing.”
