  Description

  We are Jess and Al Ussher, and we have lived at our place for the past decade with our sons Ben and Isaac . We have a beautiful home surrounded by neighbours farmland. Our place is a 4 acre small holding within enormous veggie patch, sheep,chickens and 2 excitable dogs. We are currently working on planting an asparagus paddock, a native bush area and are always working on our orchard where we have a mix of older and baby fruit trees of lots of different types. We have spectacular views of the kaimai ranges and of the ocean, and we wake to the sound of the beautiful multitude of native birds (and the neighbours cows).
  We live outside Tauranga, in the countryside, near an entrance to the bush (native forest) with easy access to lovely walks and a river with a swimming waterhole. We are a 35- 45 minute drive from a couple of surf beaches (mount manganui and waihi) , 25 mins outside Tauranga city.
  No public transport links, Own transport is imperative.
