Perched in an elevated position with breathtaking views stretching to the distant ranges, this beautifully positioned lifestyle property offers space, privacy and rural charm just 15 minutes from Napier.
It presents an appealing opportunity for those looking to step into lifestyle living without the demands of a large holding, while also perfectly suiting a retired farmer wanting to downsize yet still enjoy a few paddocks and the pleasure of tending to some stock.
The outlook across the Esk Valley and out to the distant ranges is simply captivating. It’s easy to see why the current owners have loved living here - the kind of place where you can sit on the deck, listen to the birdsong and watch the ever-changing light across the valley.
Inside, the home embraces the landscape at every turn. The spacious lounge with its striking curved ceilings and large picture windows perfectly frames the stunning view, while the modern kitchen and dining area also capture the same sweeping outlook. These living spaces flow effortlessly out to a wraparound deck where you truly feel on top of the world.
The master bedroom is its own peaceful retreat, complete with ensuite and doors opening directly to the deck. Imagine waking each morning to valley views and the sound of birdsong - a gentle start to the day that many only dream about.
Outside, the grounds have been lovingly nurtured and offer an established, low-maintenance landscape that feels both private and abundant. Winding garden paths lead you through a wonderful collection of mature plantings including avocado, camellias, jacarandas, silk trees and flowering cherries. Fruit lovers will delight in the productive orchard with lemons, oranges, mandarins, plums, olives, apricots and apples among the harvest.
Adding to the charm is a chicken coop (complete with heritage hen “The Duchess”) along with Wiltshire sheep and rams, while the 2.34-hectare property is thoughtfully divided into three paddocks plus garden areas - ideal for grazing, hobby farming or simply enjoying a touch of rural life.
Practicality is also well catered for with a generous double-plus sized garage with storage, along with a double open carport providing ample space for vehicles, equipment or toys.
