Lifestyle of Abundance

From the moment you enter the sweeping limestone driveway you will appreciate the wonderful thought and effort the owners have contributed to this secret 4.22ha (more or less) site overlooking the Bay. They have lovingly created parklike surroundings where options abound and the ability to generate attractive income is possible. There are two dwellings of which one, a recently built three bedroom architectural cottage, is currently reaping the benefits from Airbnb guests. The other is a 25 year old home opening out onto a beautiful lawn and garden with views right over to Napier Hill and the sea. For those wishing to develop, there's plenty of room for a pool and tennis court.
Plantings include an olive grove producing two tonne of olives, 212 fig trees generating an income, pine trees for years of firewood, a citrus grove, two small vineyards producing Chardonnay, Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet, and a potager garden for vegetables.
This is a property where you can meander through the three grazing paddocks, gardens with daffodils, native and specimen trees, and even find the quiet dell where you can sit and enjoy the peace looking at the expertly crafted Japanese bridge and the small lake.
Located above the Tuki Tuki Valley, it's only 15 minutes to Havelock North, Hastings or even Napier, and a short drive down to the coast where you can enjoy fine dining in the local wineries. After 19 years here, this family is passing it on to a new owner to love it the way they have.
