Positioned to capture a sweeping outlook across the Heretaunga Plains to the sea beyond, this is a home that delivers both presence and practicality in equal measure.
Set across approximately 414m² of living on 9,158m² of land, the scale here is immediately evident - but what stands out more is how well it has been executed. Spaces connect naturally, and family living and entertaining have been thoughtfully considered.
At its heart, the main living zone opens seamlessly to the outdoors - a series of interconnected spaces that flow to a striking pool terrace, framed in glass and positioned to embrace the view. This is where the home truly comes into its own. Long lunches extend into evenings, the pool becomes a focal point through every season, and the outlook provides a constant sense of perspective and calm.
Multiple living areas allow for flexibility - whether that is growing families needing separation, guests staying comfortably, or the ease of multi-generational living. The kitchen anchors the home, positioned to remain connected to both indoor and outdoor living without dominating either.
Accommodation is generous and well-proportioned, with five bedrooms and three bathrooms offering both scale and privacy. The layout lends itself equally to families at different stages or those seeking a home that can evolve.
Externally, the setting is both usable and considered. The grounds provide space without burden - enough for children to explore, for future vision, or simply to enjoy the sense of openness that is increasingly hard to find.
Homes of this scale, with this level of outdoor living and view, are increasingly tightly held - particularly in locations that offer both privacy and proximity to Havelock North.
For buyers who have been waiting for a home that can accommodate extended family, create a genuine entertaining environment, and still feel composed and easy to live in, this is a compelling option.
