Greenhill is a distinctive historic 1898 homestead occupying a unique hill-top position, set among 29.5 ha more or less (73 acres) of rolling farmland. Conveniently located just 15 minutes from Hastings or 25 minutes from Napier the Estate's beautifully manicured grounds and garden offer unrivalled panoramic views over the surrounding picture perfect farmland.
One of the few remaining significant homesteads in Hawke's Bay, this grand home built with kauri, matai, rimu and totara has been enjoyed by a family for over 100 years, until more recently, when it had a significant refurbishment, and has been operating as a luxury lodge. Here, in these beautiful peaceful grounds, you can choose the life you want. As a private residence, there is room for extended family and guests, weekend parties, and exploring all Hawke's Bay has to offer. Or you could choose to open the house to visitors from New Zealand or overseas, and run as a business, with the option to select the periods the Lodge is available.
Greenhill offers splendid accommodation through its seven well-appointed rooms and ensuites. The primary building offers a range of high quality amenities including a drawing room, dining room and billiard room. These areas lead to a range of outdoor spaces including the deep north facing veranda, rear sheltered courtyard and the manicured gardens beyond. The property also enjoys a three level turret offering significant views across the surrounding farmland. Accessed from a private driveway and apart from the main building, there is a beautiful two bedroom guest cottage which features a private outdoor bathtub. The grounds include a range of water features including a magnificent swimming pool and protected historic trees.
This property would make the ultimate luxury private residence, with the opportunity to take advantage of an income, should you so wish.
