Glen Aros is an enduring Hawke’s Bay country estate, offering heritage, elegance, equestrian facilities and lifestyle versatility on a grand scale.
Set across 10.23ha (approximately 25 acres), this remarkable lifestyle property is home to one of the region’s last remaining grand homesteads. Designed in 1914 by noted architect Albert Garnett, the California bungalow residence has been extensively refurbished and reimagined for contemporary living, while retaining its character, warmth and sense of occasion.
Arriving via the long, tree-lined driveway, you are immediately immersed in established botanical grounds originally planned by renowned landscape designer Alfred Buxton. Magnificent specimen trees, manicured lawns and seasonal gardens create privacy, beauty and a sense of escape.
The approximately 417m² homestead features five bedroom suites, each with its own en-suite, complemented by a formal lounge with an open fire, a grand timber-lined dining room, and a chef’s kitchen with a butler’s pantry flowing to relaxed everyday living.
Outdoors, the resort-style pool precinct features cascading waterfalls, lush planting and a built-in spa, anchored by a substantial 320m² pool house and garaging complex. This includes an elegant billiard lounge, extensive garaging, utility spaces and flexible options for a gym, studio or office.
Privately positioned with its own driveway, the separate 228m² cottage provides four bedrooms and four bathrooms, with each level able to operate independently. It is ideal for extended family, guests, staff, a caretaker, guest accommodation or potential income.
For equestrian buyers, Glen Aros offers a well-equipped stable complex with stables, tack and feed rooms, an all-weather arena and fenced grazing paddocks - a rare turnkey equestrian property within reach of Havelock North, Hastings and Napier.
Approximately 20–25 minutes from Havelock North and Hastings, and around 40 minutes from Napier and Hawke’s Bay Airport, Glen Aros is a rare New Zealand lifestyle property for buyers seeking space, privacy, heritage, two residences, equestrian infrastructure and a complete country estate experience.
