297A Ross Road, Whakamarama, Western Bay of Plenty

Welcome to a truly special lifestyle property in the Bay of Plenty - a place where country living and equestrian lifestyle come together perfectly. Set amongst established trees, this property feels incredibly private and peaceful, with a real sense of tranquility the moment you arrive. While it's conveniently located close to town and nearby hot pools, once you're here it feels like your own secluded retreat. For horse lovers, the facilities here are simply outstanding. The stable complex features five generous, full-sized boxes, along with additional boxes currently used for hay storage that could easily be repurposed. The stables themselves are beautifully set up - powered, light-filled, airy, and exceptionally well thought out for everyday use. There's also a well-equipped tack and feed room, plus a kitchen within the stable block complete with hot filtered water, meaning you can literally drink straight from the tap. It's a practical and comfortable space designed for those long days spent with your horses. The property also offers a fantastic arena, safe wooden fencing, and well laid out paddocks that allow you to create a great riding circuit around the property. One of the standout features is the way the paddocks connect to the stable area - making it possible to set things up so horses can move freely in and out of the stables whenever they choose, creating a relaxed and natural environment. There's also covered shelter for your horse float, making loading and unloading easy regardless of the weather. Beyond the equestrian facilities, the lifestyle offering continues. The home itself features expansive decks wrapping around the house, including a covered outdoor entertaining area that overlooks the lawns and paddocks - the perfect spot to unwind after a day with the horses. For those who enjoy self-sufficiency, there's a productive vegetable garden, established fruit trees, and plenty of space to expand. A real bonus is the large, extremely well-built workshop, complete with multiple rooms and a massive deck. This versatile space could easily be used as a granny flat, accommodation for teenage kids, a home office, or hobby space. There is also a good-sized garage providing additional storage and practicality. Quiet, private, and beautifully set up for both horses and lifestyle living, this is the kind of property where your horses can truly be part of everyday life - even wandering up to the house to say hello. Properties like this rarely come along.
