Set on 5.36 hectares (13.25 acres) of productive land, this substantial family homestead sits beautifully within the rolling rural landscape of Central Hawke's Bay. The stunning grounds showcase a magnificent array of established specimen trees, underplanted with well-tended gardens, terraced vegetable beds and sweeping lawns, creating a wonderfully private and peaceful setting. Extensive outdoor entertaining options flow from both the open-plan living and formal lounge, including an amazing covered pavilion (the perfect setting for Christmas lunch!), all enhanced by an elevated position taking in stunning views across the rolling, tree-studded farmland and towards the distant Ruahine Ranges. The homestead offers three double bedrooms, a study and two bathrooms, while nestled amongst the tranquil gardens are a cosy cabin and spacious studio, ideal for extra accommodation or a creative retreat for artists and authors alike. The infrastructure ticks plenty of boxes too, with a small implement shed, double farm shed, workshop and car garaging, along with 60,000 litres of rainwater storage and a dam in the back paddock. Situated 30km south of Waipukurau and 15km north of Porangahau village, with both Porangahau and Blackhead beaches within easy day-tripping distance. The superb location, private setting and impressive credentials make this a rare opportunity for those seeking a better life in the country, or perhaps something with an entrepreneurial twist. A very special property indeed!
