1258 Tangoio Settlement Road, Tangoio

Approximately 20 minutes from Napier CBD and you are in a very different world, a sustainable one. 2.4 Ha meticulously planted in native gardens attracting abundant birdlife, a home orchard with grapes, lemon, feijoa, apple, plum, orange, guava, and peach trees. The stand alone power supply is generated from a combination of solar panels and your very own wind turbine. Whatever the weather you are off the grid. Six Kilowatt are generated, a backup petrol generator on standby. Considerable savings over time. This home and property (CV $460,000 2013) will be highly appreciated by those who value ecological and sustainable importance, but everyone will be very comfortable with more than a touch of luxury. This home has been planned and built by the owner / builder, prior accolades including House Of The Year. A 2.7 m stud height gives this modest 164 sq m home space and additional light. The large kitchen and open dining is resplendent with a composite granite bench, and quality stainless steel appliances, including a four burner gas stove. Under tile heating provides warmth in the kitchen, both bathrooms and lounge. This three bedroom all with built in wardrobes, plus office home will always be warm with a Lady Kitchener (on wetback) and a heat transfer system. Well insulated with a concrete base, the Zinc Aluminium cladding attracts and retains passive heat. Enjoy 360 degree views, beyond the green hills you have a glimpse of the Pacific, sunsets over the Ruahine and Kaweka ranges. Enjoy outdoor spaces that include a purpose built chimney ready for the pizza oven, or an internal entertainers courtyard which is sheltered from all directions, with vertical wall garden, potbelly fire and BBQ. Also on the property, well away from the main residence is a self contained bach, small but very practical, also off the grid and suitable for Woofers. Not a run of the mill home, something quite special in the country but close to the city, supplies and schools. Viewing by appointment....
