Adjacent to the home a good shed has a double garage and workshop as well as an office, which being close to the home could easily be an extra bedroom. The landscaped garden is 'the piece de resistance'. Level lawns interspersed with colourful shrubs and mature exotic trees, have been the setting for weddings - a boutique business opportunity - and are a delight to wonder through and of course for children and pets to play in. The acreage (4.8800 hectares = 12 acres) is table top flat and is divided into five reticulated paddocks with shelter trees on the boundary. The current owners have cut around 500-600 conventional bales each season and this is another source of income. Water is from the River Road scheme. Taupo township is just 23km and the school bus passes the gate, taking in Broadlands Primary and Reporoa Primary and Secondary. Taupo schools are an option too.
