555 Mangakuri Road, Elsthorpe, Central Hawkes Bay

Back To Basics - At One With Nature

Located close to Mangakuri Beach (the last bastion of the quintessential Kiwi beach hideaway) and just minutes away from the very popular Kairakau Beach - this is the perfect getaway for those keen on beach life without the sand! With 4.48 hectares of land in total with a mix of flat, rolling and medium hill plus a small stand of native bush attracting a variety of native bird life - this will also appeal to those who want a lifestyle block to ride horses, graze animals, raise the family, retire or simply just a weekend getaway.

The current owners have carefully and professionally converted the skyline garage into a very tidy, self-contained cottage with two double bedrooms, one bathroom and an open plan kitchen and living area which further opens onto spacious decking on two sides. Thorough wall and ceiling insulation plus rough-sawn macrocarpa lining ensure warmth in the winter and a cool escape from the summer heat. The elevated position of the cottage, nestled into surrounding native trees offers rural valley views, well away and without being seen from the road.

Rainwater is collected from the roof for domestic use while an easement provides water to a trough for stock, as well as the stream which flows through the property. There is a generator for the essential power items and gas for hot water and cooking. With power near the road boundary, there is also the opportunity to build a new dwelling, perhaps create an eco-lodge or even a campground to cater for the overflow at the local beaches.
Escape the stresses that town life can bring, slow the pace a little, breath in the clean air, relax and enjoy a simpler lifestyle. Buyer enquiry above $250,000 welcome.
