362 Elsthorpe Road, Otane, Central Hawkes Bay

Set on 2.86ha (more or less) and privately positioned away from Elsthorpe Road, this modern lifestyle property enjoys an elevated ridge-top setting with outstanding rural and valley views.

Built just three years ago, the home has been thoughtfully designed with two accommodation wings, providing excellent flexibility for families and guests. One wing contains three double bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate toilet, while the second accommodates the master suite with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, along with an office that could also serve as a fifth bedroom.

At the centre of the home is a spacious open-plan kitchen with a large scullery, dining and living area, complemented by a separate media room and seamless flow to covered outdoor living and entertaining spaces. The home is fully insulated and double glazed, with ducted heating and a Masport wood burner.

A substantial American barn-style Totalspan shed provides excellent storage and workshop space, with a fully self-contained one-bedroom apartment attached, offering flexibility for extended family or guests. The shed roof is fitted with 23 solar panels connected to an inverter system, allowing battery storage to be added in the future if desired.

The balance land is currently used for grazing and hay production, subdivided into two paddocks. The land around the home and sheds has been well established with native plantings, along with a variety of fruit and citrus trees. Water is supplied via two 30,000L rainwater tanks servicing the home through UV and carbon filtration.

With convenient location, a near-new home, impressive shedding, productive land and the added benefit of self-contained accommodation, this property offers a range of options for its next owners.
