Set amongst large grounds with sweeping lawns and feature ponds, this elegant homestead "Silverford" is best described as grandeur. The driveway lined with 100 year old oak trees leads you to the homestead in private, peaceful surroundings, when you arrive you know this is a very special place.

Originally designed by C.T. Natusch in 1904, a prominent architect of New Zealand renown for his legacy of fine homes, Silverford is a classic example of his Tudor-Style architecture. Commissioned for the owner of Silverford Station and built with Kauri, Rimu and Matai. Steeped in history and set in the exclusive Dartmoor Valley the property is now a 7 hectare lifestyle, with grazing land for stock and an easy commute to the city. A short distance to the popular Puketapu Village, with its trendy country pub/restaurant, a country school for students year 1-8, with school bus service to your gate.

The homestead consists of six generous bedrooms, four bathrooms, sitting and drawing rooms with grand timber fireplaces, office and music room, featuring wood paneling and stained glass windows. A chic new kitchen complete with luxurious granite bench tops and sink, has a vintage European feel in keeping with the Homestead and leads to a verandah where you can dine alfresco while basking in the Hawke's Bay sun. Hallways overlook and open out onto the central courtyard pavilion. The house stays cosy warm with its Italian Bosky connected to 23 radiators and wetback, along with floor/ceiling insulation, two heat pumps and a smart vent ventilation system. Lazy summer days can be spent by the 11x4 metre in ground pool.
