15 Manawahe Road Matata, Whakatane District

Surrounded by nature but barely off the beaten track this semi-rural retreat is something special. Adjacent access to a private council reserve and with a backdrop of stunning bush covered hills and yet only a minutes' drive to some of the Bay of Plenty's best fishing reefs, this gorgeous property gives you the best of both worlds, country living with all the benefits of coastal living.

Set on 1631m2 there is an abundance of space for the kids & pets, with room left over to park the boat or motorhome. The double garage has plenty of space for fishing gear, tools & mountain bikes, with attached sleep out plus separate w.c. making a fantastic guest wing or teenage hideaway.

This substantial home makes the most of its stunning surroundings. With open plan living & double stacked ranch sliders opening onto extensive decking with covered porch from the lounge & dining, invites the outdoors in & makes alfresco dining a pure pleasure.

The spacious modern kitchen with bifold windows opening out onto decks & entertainment area adds to the charm of indoor outdoor living. There is ample internal storage throughout this home, including an historic D.O.C cabin nestled in the bush clad background. A wood burner
fireplace & heat pump keeps this house cosy in the cooler months, including double glazed windows ensuring this house is healthy & dry.

In the summer months the tranquil gardens offer an escape from the heat. Throw a blanket under one of the mature trees & curl up with a book or just enjoy the dappled green light filtering through the leaves as you listen to the birdsong.

The three bedrooms are all double sized, bright & airy, with built in double robes & stunning views out the windows. Featuring a spacious bathroom with separate shower & bath plus combined w.c tucked away.
