'Middlewood' - country ease, village convenience

Set amongst 1.6ha (more or less) of beautifully established grounds on the edge of the village, this exceptional lifestyle property offers the space, privacy, and versatility so many families seek, yet rarely find so close to Havelock North. Mature specimen trees, sweeping lawns, productive gardens, and fenced paddocks combine to create a setting that feels more like a private park than a lifestyle block, while recent enhancements ensure the property is ready to be enjoyed from day one.

Designed for family living and entertaining, the charming Australian-inspired bungalow sits comfortably within its surroundings, framed by wide verandas and picturesque garden outlooks from almost every room. At the heart of the home is a beautifully renovated kitchen featuring quality cabinetry and appliances, sleek stone benchtops, and stunning original matai flooring. This space flows seamlessly to the generous dining area with direct access to the outdoors. Multiple living spaces provide flexibility for everyday family life and entertaining, including a large separate living room with open fireplace and rural outlooks, and a light-filled family room overlooking the gardens and pool.

Accommodation is well thought-out, with room for family and guests. The spacious primary suite features a stylish tiled ensuite and tranquil garden views, while three additional bedrooms include built-in wardrobes, and there's a well-appointed family bathroom and separate lavatory. Throughout, the home is beautifully presented, offering an appealing balance of character, comfort, and contemporary functionality. Ducted air-conditioning and a separate laundry complete this family friendly home.

Outside, a stunning heated salt-water pool with sleek glass fencing and generous deck and terrace surround forms the focal point for summer living, perfectly complemented by an inviting outdoor entertaining area with a fireplace, creating a wonderful gathering place for family celebrations and relaxed evenings with friends. Expansive lawns offer an abundance of space for children to play, explore, and enjoy the freedom that only acreage can provide. Established gardens, a potting shed, productive planting areas, and paddocks suitable for ponies, livestock, or grazing further enhance the lifestyle on offer.

Offering additional flexibility is a separate cottage-style self-contained sleepout (not consented), offering living space, kitchen facilities, bathroom, and two bedrooms, ideal for extended family, guests, teenagers, or work-from-home options. Practicality is equally well covered with a double garage incorporating a generous workshop area, along with excellent shed and barn storage for equipment.

Extending the possibilities, resource consent has also been issued for a supplementary dwelling - with a formed house site and driveway already completed, and power connection in place. Plans are available for a smart 66sqm cottage, positioned on an elevated site at the front of the property with separate driveway access, providing an attractive opportunity for intergenerational living, additional accommodation or future value enhancement.

Combining beautifully established grounds, a thoughtfully renovated family home, exceptional outdoor living, and seldom found future flexibility, this is a lifestyle property that offers both immediate enjoyment and long-term possibilities, all within easy reach of Havelock North and Hastings. Well-regarded schools are close by, and the much-loved Birdswoods cafe, gallery, and sweet shop is just down the road. Our motivated vendors are downsizing, so don't miss your opportunity to view.

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.
