317 Te Mata Road, Havelock North, Hastings

Mata-iti

Hidden beyond the iconic Mata-iti sign and rose covered fence is one of Havelock North's most prestigious properties. Only moments from the village, yet beautifully positioned in park-like grounds, this landmark residence boasts incredible panoramic views across vineyards to Napier and the sea.

Travel through wrought iron security gates at the entrance, and along the sweeping driveway into this secluded paradise. The substantial 1.1508ha (more or less) grounds are a delightful oasis, complete with three paddocks providing room for a few sheep or a pony, whilst the lower paddock is rich with established fruit trees such as omega plums, a miniature pear, citrus, and peach.

The sprawling 320sqm (more or less) family home is warm and inviting. A well-appointed kitchen features marble benchtops, an abundance of storage, and bi-fold windows looking over the patio to the breathtaking views beyond. The open plan kitchen, casual living and dining area is ideal for relaxed family time, while the separate formal dining and sitting rooms are perfect for entertaining guests. Take advantage of the beautiful Hawkes Bay long summers with al fresco dining on the covered patio and enjoy impressive sunsets in style.

Situated in the sunny West wing, the private master suite presents stunning views, generous built-in wardrobes, and a spacious ensuite. Two additional bedrooms include triple fitted wardrobes, while the fourth bedroom is currently utilised as a sizeable office. A family bathroom offers both bath and shower, and there's two separate powder rooms for practical family living.

With ducted heating and cooling, a sound system throughout the home, three-car garaging with a laundry area, exceptional storage, and an outdoor hobby room, there's ample opportunity for recreation and relaxation.

So close to the village, yet hidden from the road, this is a grandstand piece of real estate in zone for all the most prestigious schools Havelock North has to offer and the famed Black Barn Estate just across the road.
