Accessed by private road, this landmark home in sought-after Bayview, north of Napier, has been carefully designed to capture the beauty of the surrounding terrain, uniquely and simultaneously framing expansive ocean views that greet sunrise and moonrise to the east, and valley sunsets to the west, and all just 10 minutes from Hawke’s Bay Airport, 15 minutes to Napier CBD, and an easy commute to Hastings.
Entering the front door you are immediately within a spacious hallway with an elegant naturally-lit stairwell. The eye is drawn towards the heart of the home where cathedral ceilings enhance the sense of space and light and full-length windows tie the sky and living spaces beautifully together. Tiling and pavers effortlessly draw you outside for dining on outdoor terraces that connect you to the land- and sea-scapes. The adjoining open-plan lounge also has dual aspects and opens through French doors to a Greek-inspired patio where fig and bougainvillea set the scene for long, relaxed afternoons. A nearby pétanque court brings a touch of leisure.
Comfort and quality underpin the design of this home with rich Jarrah flooring and underfloor heating downstairs. A second high-ceilinged lounge offers a calm intimate escape and a window seat and large wood burner provides warmth and ambience. A spacious wheelchair-friendly bedroom with ensuite again opens to views over the sea and creates a welcoming retreat for guests. Upstairs, there are two beautifully positioned bedrooms that soak in elevated views, connected by a generous well-appointed bathroom. The master suite is a sanctuary, also generous in scale with its own private deck.
Beyond the home, the 1.55-hectare grounds are productive yet beautiful. The land features irrigated plantings across two systems for ease of care. There are rows of shiraz and viognier grapes, and wine-making facilities within an underground cellar. An orchard, nuttery, and chicken run provide abundant fresh produce throughout the year, and through access to bush for winter wood. The garden is packed with bulbs, proteas, and flowering shrubs offer colour and all manner of birdlife, including kereru, tui, quail and pheasant. Practicality is also well considered, with laundry and separate shower in the main house for after outside work, triple garaging, a triple carport, and ample off-street parking from two driveways.
And then there’s the opportunity. A self-contained one-bedroom apartment with its own deck and Esk Valley views is currently tenanted, offering immediate income. The land itself invites further possibility - whether boutique florals and/or wedding venue, vineyard expansion, or developing something entirely your own creation.
