The property unfolds as you drive through a private lane, an avenue of leafy established trees. There is something unique, spellbinding here with a country ambience yet only minutes from the village. Seldom does a property of such charm come to the market.

Elevated, northwest facing, capturing all-day sunshine the views will leave you breathless. Across a patchwork of vineyards and orchards the sparkling waters of Hawke Bay and the Pacific Ocean. A palette of colours sometimes deep blue and vivid orange, sometimes ochre. And beyond are slow-moving rivers and the Ruahine Ranges sometimes clothed in mist and lilac - in winter sometimes topped with snow.

The property comprises a large 3.82 hectares, a mix of countryside, tawny bark, forest shades and a vineyard that glows golden after harvest. Bird song - quietly secluded only occasionally to be awakened by an old cow mooing or a young lamb baaing.

The residence is 1960s brick, single level designed to create a sense of space and light with generous living areas that flow to an outdoor patio. Light the barbeque, enjoy and share with friends or family long into the night. Functional, practical and social and yet the opportunities to further enhance and landscape are endless. Comprising 4 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, 2 wcs, separate living areas and laundry, triple garaging and workshop. A garden with raised beds growing vegetables and herbs adds to the charm - parsley and sage - and juicy-red tomatoes.

This is a much sought after address.

The location is just minutes from the Havelock North, schools, wineries and restaurants and a short drive to rivers, beaches and golf courses. Adjacent to walk and cycle-ways - an unmatched playground or stay at home and indulge. A fifteen minute drive to the vibrant Art Deco city of Napier and Hawke's Bay Airport.

This is an exceptional opportunity - pro
