555 Napier Road, Havelock North, Hastings

Character, cottages and cropping land

Lying centrally between Havelock North, Hastings and Clive, is an 8.66 hectare lifestyle property offering super potential, opportunity for generating income and, despite its prominent position, a very private setting.

There are three dwellings on the property, the most notable being a 1930's period two-storey character homestead. The five bedroom homestead features the kind of qualities synonymous with this era - gorgeous timber panelling, leadlight windows, vaulted and ornate plaster ceilings and a rather grand entrance hall. There are various living areas, including an expandable sitting room and an elevated sunroom which provides the perfect vantage point to watch the world go by. With some restoration it could be utilised for B&B accommodation, or simply be a large family home.

There are two fully self-contained one-bedroom cottages on the property, one of which has its own separate driveway making it an ideal rental prospect. Storage is plentiful, with four-car garaging, a generous fully enclosed shed/workshop and various other ancillary sheds available. A range of mature specimen trees, and an established olive grove screen all the dwellings and outbuildings from the road, providing complete privacy. The balance of land, totalling 6.9 hectares, is split into two paddocks which are presently leased for cropping.

Lifestyles in a prime location are frequently sought after, offering a balance between country and suburban life. Need to meet a friend for coffee, or ferry the kids to school and sport? No problem - a mere five minute drive covers most bases, or perhaps you could wander across the road for a round of golf. This property has genuine potential to become something very special, and deserves inspection. Contact Tim or Kris for further details.
