Big lifestyle and big value, this is Central Hawke's Bay living at its best. Situated on the edge of Waipawa with peaceful rural outlooks 7 Rathbone Street is a property that delivers across the board. It offers generous space, 3,850m², timeless character, practical extras, and the freedom to shape your lifestyle your way.
The home is a solid 1910 build with four bedrooms, a spacious living area, and a large north-facing deck that's made for entertaining. Whether it's summer BBQs, morning coffees, or evening drinks with friends, this deck is where life happens. Inside, the layout is practical and welcoming, with plenty of room for families, guests, or work-from-home setups.
Step outside and the lifestyle potential explodes. Two fenced paddocks offer options for grazing, growing, or just enjoying the open space. There's a single garage, two workshops, and a woodshed, perfect for tradies, hobbyists, or anyone who needs serious storage and workspace. Add to that a dedicated office and a separate outside room for the kids, and you've got flexibility that suits modern living.
And then there's the orchard. Seventeen different fruit trees - yes, seventeen - spread across the property, offering seasonal harvests and a touch of self-sufficiency. Plums, peaches, citrus, feijoas, and more. It's a gardener's dream and a family's delight. Imagine picking fresh fruit straight from your own backyard, sharing it with friends, or turning it into preserves and pies.
The land is flat, usable, and beautifully laid out. There's room for pets, play, projects, and future plans. Zoned Residential Zone A, there's potential here too, whether you're thinking long-term investment or future development.
Waipawa is a town with heart. Friendly, well-connected, and full of charm, it offers everything you need, schools, shops, cafes, and community. From Rathbone Street, you're close to it all, yet tucked away in a quiet pocket that feels like country living.
This property is the full package. It's got the bones, the land, the extras, and the location. Whether you're upsizing, escaping the city, or looking for a lifestyle with flexibility, 7 Rathbone Street delivers.
