The Pride of Poolburn

She’s historic, charming, symmetrical – a landmark home in Central Otago’s stunning Ida Valley.

Believed to have been first built in 1895, this beautifully restored four-five-bedroom, one bathroom dwelling sits on a minimalistic and tastefully landscaped 1.34 hectares just 11 kilometres from Omakau – 37 from Alexandra.

The 130-year-old former farm homestead has those deliciously thick roughcast-over-schist / mud brick walls, rimu wooden panelling, chandeliers, and leadlight windows from a simpler time.

It boasts four generous bedrooms off the hallway – two with those delightfully detailed old fireplaces - the master with a sunlit study.

Dining and living are open plan, while another good-sized room could either be used as a second living room or fifth bedroom.

The kitchen and bathroom are equally as charming as the rest of the home, which is spacious and warm year-round.

Most of the windows are double-glazed – even those leadlights – there are two heat pumps, an HRV heat transfer system, and a large wood burner.

Outside the main dwelling this eye-catching property also offers three impressive buildings – an old one-car garage as well as a worker’s hut – which are in keeping with the house, and a huge brand new three-bay shed for the camper van, boat, boards, and bikes.

There's a paddock with a water trough for livestock as well as a spa to take in those iconic sought after Central Otago views - views of Rough Ridge and the Hawkdun Ranges.

Properties like the 'Pride of Poolburn' rarely meet the market and would make an excellent home, holiday home, B'n'B, or tourism opportunity.

They're simply not making this kind of thing anymore.

1131 Ida Valley-Omakau Road… your future… starts here.

Introducing three appealing lifestyle sections in the peaceful rural settlement of Elsthorpe, nestled in the heart of Central Hawke’s Bay. Just 30 minutes from Havelock North, and only minutes from Elsthorpe village itself, these sites also enjoy close proximity to Patangata and the wider rural community. The surrounding area offers an attractive blend of natural beauty and recreation, with Kairakau Beach approximately 10 minutes away, providing stunning coastal views, baches and a relaxed camping spot perfect for weekend getaways. Elsthorpe School is also just minutes from the sections, adding further convenience for families.

Each of the three lifestyle sections presents its own unique opportunity. 2420 Kahuranaki Road offers a generous 9,384sqm (more or less), providing ample room for development, planting or grazing, complete with a formed entrance. 2430 Kahuranaki Road, at 5,070sqm (more or less), is a versatile and easily managed parcel, with an elevated platform and formed entrance. 2438 Kahuranaki Road, measuring 7,318sqm (more or less), delivers a balanced lifestyle option ideal for a future home or hobby pursuits, again benefitting from a formed entrance.

Together, these sections present a rare opportunity to secure your own slice of rural Hawke’s Bay in a serene, community oriented setting - close to native reserves, coastline, local schooling and still within an easy drive of major townships.

Perfection on the village edge

For sale by Auction 1.30pm, Fri 27 Mar 2026 (unless sold prior) Bayleys, 49 Manchester Street, Feilding

Positioned on 1.05ha (more or less) at the edge of the Kimbolton village, this 2021-built home delivers modern construction and low-maintenance living in one of the Manawatu's most loved rural communities. Sitting directly opposite the Kimbolton Heritage Gardens and just a short distance from the café and school, the location is as good as it gets for those wanting village life with room to breathe.

Built to a high standard, the home presents beautifully inside and out. Large open-plan living areas create a sense of space and ease, while the outdoor entertaining area is a genuine standout. Well-orientated to catch the afternoon and evening sun, it's the kind of space that gets used year-round and becomes the natural heart of any gathering.

With four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and double garaging, the layout works for families, downsizers, and anyone seeking a foothold in the lifestyle market without compromise. The 2021 construction means there is simply nothing to do. This is a property you move into and enjoy from day one.

Outside, the land is well-fenced and neatly presented with paddocks offering options for pets or a few livestock. The whole package is tidy, manageable, and ready to go.

Properties of this calibre, at this price point, and this close to the village don't come available often. The owners have done the work, and now it's your turn to enjoy it.
