Hilltop haven with income

If spectacular views and a passive income is ticking the boxes for you, then look no further. Set on six hectares of land, this low-input, well located property presents a diverse lifestyle opportunity, featuring a dramatic setting, a well-appointed home and an income-generating vineyard.

The James Jack designed home offers almost 360 degree views from its private elevated platform, with large picture windows taking in the changing colours of the vineyards, the picturesque river valley, and stretching as far as the western ranges and Te Mata Peak. It features a spacious kitchen, dining and living area, a separate lounge/library with cleverly concealed office, and three bedrooms - all positioned to capture the sun. Cavity sliding doors allow you to create private, intimate spaces, or a more open plan layout to suit your requirements. Double glazing plus a variety of heating options make for a warm environment inside, and the home flows well to multiple outdoor areas. The recently added swimming pool will be a bonus in our hot Hawke's Bay summers and the glass fencing provides shelter without curbing your outlook. There's little maintenance to be done on the grounds, yet there is scope for you to enhance or plant if desired.

On the flat, below the home, is approximately 3.5 hectares of established vineyard with a mix of varietals, which provide an excellent passive income source from a long-term lease. It's an easy drive of approximately 15 minutes to Hastings or Havelock North for work, school and shopping, and the immediate area offers some great attractions, including two golf courses, cycle trails, the river, renowned wineries, an aerodrome and even a karting track. Viewing is strictly by appointment - contact Tim to arrange.
