The newly built, character-filled NZ villa is completely off-grid and is purpose built for relaxed living, effortless entertaining, comfort and exudes exceptional appeal.

The land offers a versatile mix of flat to easy rolling terrain, complemented by attractive, well-planted gullies that provide both visual appeal and natural corridors for birdlife. The grazing platform is thoughtfully subdivided into 12 evenly sized paddocks, complemented by three smaller paddocks, providing flexibility for rotational grazing, stock management and day-to-day farm operations. Infrastructure is excellent, including tidy sheep yards, cattle yards with load-out facilities and a reliable stock water supply, along with rainwater servicing both the home and gardens.

A rare opportunity to secure a private, well-developed rural property with scale, quality infrastructure and a modern off-grid home, all in a sought-after Hawke's Bay location.

Charming classic on private one acre

Welcome to a place where history meets warmth, where every corner feels like it's been waiting for you. As you come up the drive, this early 1900s character home rises gently into view - timeless timber glowing, rooflines soft in the morning light, the whole house offering the kind of welcome usually reserved for old friends.

Once floated down the river and hauled up the hill by bullock, the home still carries the glow of native timbers, period fireplaces and the gentle crookedness that gives heritage houses their soul.

Step inside and let the house guide you. Wood panelling milled on the property wraps the living areas, warm and familiar. The cosy wetback fireplace invites slow evenings, and the kitchen with its walk-in pantry seems to say, bring your jars and recipes - I’m ready.

A light-filled fourth bedroom - a generous, adaptable space ready to become your work-from-home retreat, creative studio, or peaceful guest room. It’s a room that seems to say, whatever you need, I can be.

Open the French doors and explore the wrap-around deck, where river views drift through the day and the seasons paint the landscape in blossoms, fresh greens, colour and soft fog. Wander the 4,832sqm (approximately 1 and a quarter acres) grounds, collect the eggs, pick fruit straight from the trees, and feel the openness around you.

With a workshop space that feels like part of the adventure - around 130sqm of garaging with built-in benches, dividable areas, and a storeroom ready for projects, tinkering, or future dreams. It’s the kind of space that expands when you need it and settles quietly when you don’t.

Lived in, loved, and ready for the next hundred years of stories

The question is - will they be yours?
