Park-like and private

For sale by Auction 10.30am, Wed 17 Dec 2025 (unless sold prior) Bayleys, 49 Manchester Street, Feilding.

Tucked quietly at the edge of Kimbolton, 42 Haggerty Street is a property defined by its setting. Sprawling park-like grounds, rich with colour and structure, surround the home in complete privacy. Rhododendrons, specimen trees and established plantings create a woodland feel, with seasonal colour unfolding around a picturesque garden pond.

The two-storey four-bedroom home sits well back from the road, positioned to enjoy the shelter and beauty of the grounds. Inside, two living areas provide space and flexibility, while sunny patios connect the home to the gardens. The layout, with two bedrooms upstairs and two down, offers options for guests or family and keeps the home feeling both practical and inviting.

Beyond the gardens, a little over half a hectare is set aside as a paddock, ideal for a few animals and supported by a trough and good fencing. Additional improvements include a garage, workshop, significant vegetable gardens with hot houses and raised beds, and an allocation from the Kiwitea water scheme.

Set on approximately 2.5 hectares (more or less), 42 Haggerty Street offers a rare combination of privacy, colour and space in a village-edge setting. It will appeal to those who value established gardens and a peaceful lifestyle in a quiet, well-regarded part of the Manawatū.

Premium 12ha Lifestyle property

This very well-located 12.1ha property combines fertile, flat cropping and grazing land with an enviable lifestyle setting. An attractive, tree-lined driveway leads to an architecturally designed 1970s four-bedroom home, privately nestled within established gardens and positioned well back from the road for peace and privacy.

The surrounding grounds are equally impressive, featuring a grass tennis court, a large inground swimming pool, sweeping lawns, raised vegetable gardens, mature specimen trees, and beautifully maintained rose beds.

The productive land benefits from an exceptional bore water supply and an efficient ring system irrigation set-up, with hydrants in every paddock. The pump shed contains a high-capacity irrigation pump, a dedicated garden pump, and a separate house pump, while the land itself is tile-drained and has a discharge pump.

Properties of this quality, size and location are rarely available and will appeal to a wide range of discerning buyers seeking both productivity and lifestyle excellence.

Quintessential Kiwi – potential on two titles!

Two adjoining 1,012sqm sections open directly onto the Waimarama Domain, offering the ultimate coastal lifestyle. With plenty of space for summer (and winter) games, parking, boats and jet skis, the properties present options to add to the existing buildings or combine both sites and build new. Each title is surrounded by established hedges offering privacy and shelter.

At 33 Airini Road, a classic two-bedroom main dwelling features a double master and bunk room, with tiled kitchen and living area that flows onto expansive decking. The modern kitchen includes an electric hob, oven, double fridge, dishwasher, island bench and heat pump. Outdoor entertaining is exceptional, with a large, elevated deck, covered dining area and raised open fire complete with benches, sink (hot and cold water), and teppanyaki grill. A separate bunk room or kids’ TV space, laundry and storage shed, paved parking, a stainless-steel filleting bench and a prolific fruiting lemon tree complete the offering.

Next door, 35 Airini Road is a character-filled bach brimming with charm. The cosy living room with heat pump flows through to the kitchen, where a freestanding stove, sink, fridge and even the shower and hand basin are cleverly integrated. There’s a separate toilet, dining room and double bedroom, plus a small, separate studio/TV room with covered deck. A three-bay enclosed garage offers ample storage for tools, beach gear, vehicles, and maybe a small boat.

Together, these iconic coastal properties capture the true essence of the Kiwi beach lifestyle - relaxed, practical, private and full of potential.

Refined living in a prestigious setting

Discover a home where modern elegance meets elevated semi-rural serenity. From the moment you arrive, a sense of calm sets in - a circular driveway guides you toward a Mediterranean-inspired front garden where paving, layered plantings, a gentle pond, and multiple alfresco nooks create a truly enchanting approach to the front door. Thoughtfully crafted and filled with natural light, this exceptional residence blends space, style, and an effortless connection to its surroundings, offering a lifestyle that feels both luxurious and grounded in nature.

At the heart of the home, the contemporary kitchen is crafted for those who love to cook and entertain. Quality appliances - including a double wall oven, induction hob, and double sink - are paired with soft oak cabinetry that adds warmth and texture. A picture window frames peaceful garden views, while a glass roof canopy washes the breakfast nook in gentle light. The open-plan layout flows seamlessly into the living area, where bi-fold doors extend to a sheltered courtyard, beautifully blurring the line between indoors and out.

The main living space invites relaxation, with a cosy wood burner and ceiling fan providing year-round comfort. Step out onto the terrace and take in sweeping views - an ever-changing backdrop that enhances daily living and elevates every gathering. The generous dining and sitting area also opens to the front terrace through bi-fold doors, making alfresco entertaining effortless.

A separate, spacious second living room offers its own retreat, capturing breathtaking vistas and opening to the terrace. Perfect for family movie nights or watching the big game on the pull-down projector screen, it’s a space where comfort and scenery merge seamlessly. The master suite is a sanctuary, complete with garden access, tranquil outlooks, a walk-through wardrobe, and an ensuite warmed by underfloor heating. Two additional double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, plus a versatile single bedroom or office with its own external access - ideal for working from home or meeting clients - provide excellent flexibility. The family bathroom includes tiled flooring, a shower, a bath, and a separate powder room for added convenience.

Every detail has been considered for effortless living: double glazing, ducted air conditioning, Control4 wiring, a separate laundry, and an extra-large triple garage with excellent storage.

Outside, the magic continues. Sprawling lawns offer space for a pool, while landscaped gardens create a peaceful haven alive with quail, pheasant, and tūī - a natural soundtrack that surrounds you. The sheltered entertaining courtyard, with its grand outdoor fireplace, is the perfect setting for gatherings that stretch long into the evening.

Lovingly held by the original owners, this exceptional home is now ready to be passed on to a fortunate new family. Opportunities to secure a property of this calibre in such a coveted location are rare - just a four-minute drive to Havelock North Village and within walking distance of Iona College and Woodford House.

Two Homes, A Future Full of Possibilities

Set on 8,510sqm (more or less.) in sought-after Te Ranga, this exceptional lifestyle package gives you the rare chance to secure two quality dwellings, a heated saltwater pool, excellent shedding, grazing paddocks, privacy, space, and modern comfort all in one powerful offering. Whether you’re supporting extended family, generating passive income, or simply wanting more lifestyle freedom, this is the definition of hitting two birds with one stone. The peaceful countryside stretches out toward the distant coastline, creating a calm retreat still within easy reach of Te Puke, Papamoa and the Mount.

The original homestead offers three bedrooms and warm, functional living supported by a DVS ventilation system. It enjoys lovely rural views and presents an easy, practical layout ideal for tenants, extended family, or those looking to add value over time. The home does not include a separate laundry or the additional walk-in cupboard, keeping the overall layout simple and manageable. Vehicle and storage options are a standout, with a double internal garage featuring built-in storage, a 9m x 7m two-bay farm shed, plus an additional carport — perfect for cars, machinery, projects, or equipment. Fully fenced and well drained, the land is practical and usable for pets, stock, or landscaping ideas.

The second dwelling, built in 2022 by Signature Homes, brings a premium level of comfort and contemporary living. Here you’ll appreciate quality finishes, three bedrooms, two bathrooms including an ensuite and walk-in robe, two lounges, and a cosy wood fire. This dwelling includes the separate laundry with additional wardrobe storage, as well as the ducted heating system, delivering year-round comfort and true modern convenience. Its design flows beautifully outdoors to the fully fenced heated saltwater swimming pool, creating the perfect shared entertaining hub. With approximately seven years remaining on the building warranty, this dwelling gives you peace of mind and long-term security.

This is a rare opportunity to enjoy the craftsmanship and comfort of the newer home while unlocking rental income or extended-family living from the main dwelling. Two large grazing paddocks expand your lifestyle options, while established gardens and the peaceful rural outlook complete the picture. Privacy, practicality, and versatility — this is a lifestyle package that rarely becomes available with two dwellings of this calibre.
