This home will stop you in your tracks with privacy, scale and an incredible view. In secluded native forest, with birdlife abundant, it overlooks the city out to the mountain ranges and east to Napier Bluff and the sea. Nestled on top of 8,748m2, this 580m² architectural lifestyle dwelling with a capital value of $2,530,000 designed by Paris Magdalinos delivers five bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms and four-car garaging in a setting that is both secluded and remarkably expansive.

The main living level is built for gathering. A striking open-plan kitchen with island seating, a walk-in pantry and wide glazing connects naturally with the dining area, family room and lounge. A dedicated gallery space, bar/pool room and underground wine cellar bring a sense of occasion when you’re entertaining. A dumb waiter lift links levels, and everywhere you turn, the outlook pulls your eye outward to the pool, the city, the ranges and the sea.

Very spacious accommodation gives everyone their own domain. The master bedroom on the top floor has an ensuite, walk-in wardrobe, and private retreat. The remaining bedrooms, study/rumpus give you flexibility for guests, work or extended family. The laundry opening out to the garden makes the practical side of daily life easy. An internal access four-car garage has generous storage and workshop areas.

Outside, this is the kind of property you’ll use as much as admire. Expansive decking wraps the home and steps down to the heated salt water pool, while the native planting gives the whole setting depth, shelter and sense of retreat.

Positioned in the heights of Havelock North, you’re tucked away in a world of your own while still within easy reach of the village and wider Hastings amenities. For the buyer who has been waiting for substance, scale and a setting that genuinely feels different, this one deserves a closer look.
