Where heritage meets modern luxury

Originally designed in 1914 by celebrated architect Louis Hay, the residence has been transformed by only its second owner through a meticulous four-year restoration and redesign, creating a timeless home of elegance, comfort, and enduring quality. Set amid park-like grounds at the foot of the Havelock Hills, this extraordinary estate is a rare fusion of heritage architecture and modern refinement.

Discreetly positioned, the residence captures sweeping views across the Heretaunga Plains to the ocean, stretching to the distant ranges and even Mt Ruapehu, snow-clad in winter. Turning inland, the outlook embraces the Havelock Hills and Te Mata Peak, while by night the twinkling lights of Hastings and Napier create a captivating panorama.

Behind its stately façade lies a grand home of approximately 540 square metres (internal) offering five bedrooms, four living areas, and six bathrooms plus powder room. Every space is crafted with care - the materials, textures, and craftsmanship telling a story of both legacy and renewal.

Solid concrete construction with pebble roughcast exterior and newly reinforced internal walls ensure lasting strength, while earthquake strengthening and modern insulation bring peace of mind.

Inside, the interiors celebrate both the old and the new - bandsawn European oak flooring underfoot, limestone tiling from France, and bespoke joinery in smoked Finnish oak, and Italian imported marble. Heating and comfort are exceptional: a new Viessmann diesel system provides individually controlled warmth throughout, complemented by three open fireplaces, underfloor heating in bathrooms, and dual heat pumps in the pool pavilion.

The bespoke kitchen and wine bar, designed and crafted in Amsterdam, is a triumph of function and form - rich smoked oak cabinetry from Finland paired with Italian marble benchtops and Gaggenau and Wolf appliances. A large scullery with additional dishwasher and sink supports effortless entertaining, while a dedicated wine cabinet and tall wine fridge make this the ideal setting for connoisseurs and hosts alike.

The home's grand entrance hall welcomes guests with a sweeping staircase and a lift to the upper level. Multiple living areas flow beautifully from formal to relaxed - from the serene drawing room and elegant dining area, to the light-filled family room and adjoining sunroom that captures year round sunshine.

Upstairs, the primary suite commands sweeping views and opens to a covered verandah. Two luxurious en-suites and a large dressing room with custom cabinetry provide indulgent privacy. Guest suites are generous and beautifully appointed, one with its own terrace and tea station. Additional bedrooms open to covered verandahs or terrace with sweeping views, while a flexible fifth room serves as a study, TV lounge or bedroom.

Outdoors, an Italianate courtyard with open fireplace, rose-draped pergola, limestone paving, and a tranquil water feature invites gatherings and long summer evenings beneath the stars. The pool pavilion mirrors the home's design integrity with two rooms, a full bathroom, and a wooden interior sauna. The 15-metre heated swimming pool and custom spa are framed by French limestone paving - an oasis of calm and leisure, fully fenced for peace of mind.

Two original cottages complete the estate: A two-bedroom character cottage designed by William Gummer (1910) and a three-bedroom cottage, with opportunity for rejuvenation. Rolling lawns, mature trees, and thoughtfully designed irrigated gardens create a living landscape that evolves beautifully through the seasons. Fully fenced paddocks with water troughs currently have sheep grazing to control the grass.

This is more than a home - it's an estate of architectural significance, crafted for those who value history, design, and lasting quality. A truly outstanding offering, restored with vision and executed with uncompromising detail, where historic charm and modern elegance create the ultimate lifestyle.

Where Family Traditions Begin

There is something quietly special about properties that have been designed not just to impress, but to accommodate a full life.

227 Bell Road has been a place of gathering. A home where friends and family naturally gravitate, where celebrations spill from indoors to out, and where there is always room for one more guest around the table. Set across more than four hectares with views stretching towards Mount Pirongia and Kakepuku, it's easy to understand why.

Arriving home feels special The circular driveway winds its way through established grounds before revealing a substantial residence positioned to embrace the surrounding landscape. While the scale of the home immediately commands attention, what stays with you is the warmth. This is a home that feels lived in, loved and deeply connected to its surroundings.

Built in 2004 with a clear appreciation for craftsmanship, native timbers feature throughout. Cedar entrance doors make a memorable first impression, while Rimu joinery, Kauri internal doors and Matai flooring add texture, character and a sense of permanence that is increasingly difficult to find.

The home has been thoughtfully configured for both family life and entertaining. Four generous bedrooms each enjoy their own ensuite, offering privacy and independence for family members and guests. A dedicated office provides flexibility for those working from home (or a fifth bedroom, if required), while a separate powder room and additional bathroom ensure the home caters effortlessly to larger gatherings.

One of the property's most charming features is its relationship with the outdoors. Upstairs, wrap-around verandahs connect with the bedrooms, each one opening directly outside. It's the sort of home where doors are left open in summer, where morning coffee is enjoyed with a view, and where the changing landscape becomes part of everyday life.

The seasons each bring their own rhythm. In winter, the two woodburners become the heart of the home, drawing people together after a day spent outdoors. In the warmer months, life naturally centres around the pool. Children will spend entire afternoons in the water, adults will linger over long lunches, and evenings seem to stretch a little longer as the sun sets across the countryside.

Beyond the home itself, the established grounds continue to impress. A collection of mature citrus and fruit trees, including two substantial avocado trees, provides both beauty and bounty, adding another layer to the authentic lifestyle appeal of the property.
For those seeking a true lifestyle property, the infrastructure is already here. Multiple paddocks, cattle yards, implement shedding and well-fenced grazing land offer endless possibilities, whether you're running stock, keeping horses, or simply enjoying the freedom that comes with having space around you.

And then there's the tiny home.

Tucked away from the main residence, it opens the door to so many opportunities. Whether it's a place for extended family, independent accommodation for teenagers, a work-from-home retreat, or perhaps an Airbnb or boutique glamping experience, it's easy to see guests falling in love with the same rural outlook and peaceful surroundings that make this property so special. Note: The Tiny Home will be sold ‘as is where is’.

This is the sort of home where Christmases are hosted, summers are remembered, and families gather for years to come. A property with presence, personality and room to dream a little bigger. In a world where experiences matter more than ever, this is the sort of property that encourages people to stay a little longer, slow down a little more and enjoy everything that countryside living has to offer.
