BAY OF PLENTY
Overview
This business and freehold land opportunity really is something very special. Located on a side road, just off State Highway 2, approximately 9 km south of Katikati, a rural service centre town and approximately 27 km from Tauranga, from where it is considered to be an easy commute.
Total land area is approximately 6,358m2 sheltered from major traffic noise and enjoys quality to die for, views across forest land and to the inner Tauranga Harbour and Matakana Island.
The land being all flat is very well suited for many intensive rural use purposes and is currently developed for lifestyle and commercial use. Commercial activity on the property has the necessary planning permission and currently a purpose built building housing a large bookshop specialising in second-hand quality books, plus hard-to-find books and prints. Further to this is also a second building currently used for prints and packaging which could be easily converted into a lovely cafe/gallery with views out across the lower farmlands to the Tauranga Harbour and Matakana Island.
The house on the property is a mixed age having three bedrooms with an attached double garage, timber based veranda, sun porch plus two living rooms, kitchen, bathrooms, separate toilet, laundry and entrance foyer to the hallway. The home through the years has been upgraded with a good average range of modern fittings and the recently extended part, internally redecorated.
The cafe storeroom is currently a print store in an older style building which could possibly be converted to an attractive cafe with outstanding views. This conversion would be relatively simple as originally at some stage of its life it was evidently a cafe. This location is definitely a destination in its own right.
There is a workshop attached to the cafe which could also be converted to perhaps be part of the cafe or possibly for other uses.
The large utility building houses the Titles Book Gallery shop was built by the vendors in 2002, fully lined, commercial lighting, carpeted floors, large vista windows to take in the views and has outside access to a large toilet and hand wash area for patrons or clients.
Outside is a fantastic full concrete drive, parking area, concrete paths and patios, timber and brick edged gardens, cobble stone and brick courtyard and BBQ, mature lawns and gardens, citrus trees and old grapevines all excellent producers, hedging and a potager garden supported by the Katikati Herb Society. Power, telephone and community water supplies are reticulated under ground plus the property has its own deep well.
There are many alternative uses for this exciting property and business just to mention a few...
Bookshop with around 20th century titles, expanded client base and encourage bulk visitors i.e. clubs, car clubs, bus tours, individuals, websites, mail-outs and heavy promotions could make this a destination location.
Having the Garden exposed for visitor’s picnics, tours, relaxing, photography, sales of fresh vegetables, herbs and fruit etc, also could make it a destination location.
Print room and packaging room could become a fantastic 40 plus seat cafe with inside/outside ambience, under umbrella seating with views. A wow factor with perhaps framed prints for sale on the internal walls as well.
Signage is already located at both ends of the property and the main highway.
Currently the business is primarily a buyer and seller of quality and rare books as well as prints of all types, signs, cards, music and miscellaneous and the vendors trade all over the world as well as New Zealand, the book titles cover from the 17th to the 21st century with new titles being stocked daily.
Ideal business for a visionary husband and wife team who enjoy books.
