Kahuranaki character

Set in the picturesque Kahuranaki Valley, this well-presented 5.8ha lifestyle property combines rural appeal with practical features and space for all interests. The land comprises flat to easy rolling grazing paddocks, a small stand of pruned pines and a charming four-bedroom villa surrounded by established gardens, a pool and a selection of useful outbuildings.

Infrastructure of multiple sheds includes stables, a 4.5m x 2.5m tool shed with concrete floor, an 11.5m x 10m shed/workshop with two large sliding doors, and an older implement shed with three-phase power and mixed flooring.

The homestead sits proudly on an elevated site, accessed via a tree-lined driveway and enjoys sweeping views over neighbouring farmland toward Mt Kahuranaki. Inside, the home offers four double bedrooms, an office, open-plan kitchen and dining, a formal living room, a family bathroom and a garage/carport with direct access to the kitchen, laundry and storage room.

The gardens are beautifully maintained with raised vegetable beds, compost bins, a glasshouse, fruit trees, and irrigation on timers. Beyond the garden are a woodshed, chook house and lamb-rearing pen. Water is supplied via a 20,000L rainwater tank and a 20,000L spring-fed tank, with house water filtered and UV-treated. Spring water also services the gardens, pool, troughs and kennels.

Elsthorpe Primary School is just minutes away, Kairakau Beach around 10-15 minutes and Havelock North approximately 25 minutes. A property full of character and function in one of Hawke's Bay's most desirable rural valleys.
