Why not do something you hadn't thought about doing: buying a 2 bedroom stand-alone home with a rural setting, in the Te Kowhai Village - the residents love it here. (Perrinpark used to be a retirement village, but now for the young 55+)... The great thing here is that you are not too far away from town... If you drive on out to Te Kowhai Village, you'll notice that the city is moving towards it, and it only takes 8 minutes from Te Awa Shopping Centre.

This lovely home has been beautifully maintained, and has a "quaint French feel". You get to overlook the gorgeous parklike grounds and yet you don't have to maintain them. The Perrinpark Village consists of 73 homes, with a park-like setting - mature trees, lush grounds and a lake. You can choose to join in with some of the fun community events, or entertain yourself. The home is on a unit freehold section, so you get the benefit of receiving capital gains when you decide to sell in the future. The body Corp fees are $87 per week. The body corp includes maintanence of the roads, lights, sewerage, Water, house insurance, use of all the facilities, and best of all... your lawns are mowed for you (and trees maintained too).

This could suit a couple who want that 'lock up and leave' lifestyle, in the country. Other benefits: It is so affordable out here. Peace and quiet. Seeking companionship. No rentals. Feel safe/secure. Lovely environment. Used to your own space? - this has it all. Maybe you're moving off a farm and want an easier life... please call Lisa Sigley 021722281 to come and view today. www.perrinpark.co.nz
