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.
