·       Just an easy ten minute drive from the city and situated in a very productive area of the bay. ·       A home with character and charm with the option of using your own ideas within the interior of the building.  Good sized lounge, an upgraded kitchen, a smaller dining room and four bedrooms leading off a large spacious hallway.  There is also an area which could be developed into a master bedroom, office or family room.  The home is over 100 years old and has been built to last. ·       Plenty of sheds and outbuildings.  Directly behind the home is a separate two room area which is presently used for storage.  Numerous sheds used for machinery storage and a workshop are close by. ·       The property is planted as a citrus orchard and the Vendors have been undergoing a replanting programme.  There is a good income with mixed citrus varieties and the future looking good.  ·       The future of the property might be in alternative crops.  Both the area and soils are suited to many other horticultural crops including kiwifruit and/or apples.  ·       Location, location, location.  Close to town but with some of the best soils in the bay. ·       Two titles giving you options. ·       The Vendor is sad to be leaving but has another opportunity and would like to move on.  Check the possibilities and let’s discuss some options.
