They simply don’t make them like this anymore! One of the original homesteads along Arataki Road, this substantial 1920s character home is a little piece of Havelock North history, with plenty of charm, an impressive footprint and a whole lot of potential.

Cherished by the same family for almost two decades, this special property is now ready to welcome its next owners. Extended and adapted over the years to accommodate changing needs, the generous 260m² home offers a variety of living spaces and the flexibility to reconfigure or reinvent to suit your lifestyle. There’s so much to work with here and even more to get excited about!

Standing proudly amongst modern homes and newer developments, this original Arataki homestead has become something of a unicorn. Set on a sprawling 1,079m² section with established plantings and shady trees, it’s the kind of space Kiwis have always dreamed of owning, yet one that’s becoming increasingly hard to find, especially in such a sought-after location.

Adding another chapter to its story, the property was once home to a popular fruit and vege shop. The former storage areas and sheds at the rear have since been connected to the main residence and transformed into a retreat space. Meanwhile, the original homestead retains much of its old-world charm, with beautiful native timber features throughout. In recent years, some of the big-ticket improvements have also been taken care of, including a new roof and fresh paint both inside and out.

Whether you’re looking to enhance, redesign and make it your own, or simply secure a sizeable landholding in this tightly held location, the possibilities here are endless. Rich in history, generous in size and bursting with potential. A true Arataki original, ready for its next chapter!
