Commanding an elevated position with sweeping views across the coastline, this beautifully considered residence captures the essence of refined semi-rural living while remaining connected to the coast and city beyond. The two-level home has been thoughtfully designed to maximise its remarkable outlook, taking in the Port of Napier, Cape Kidnappers, Te Mata Peak and Mahia, with an ever-changing expanse of ocean providing a spectacular backdrop.
At the heart of the home, the upper level is dedicated to relaxed living and entertaining. Expansive glazing and a striking picture window frame the views, while the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area flows effortlessly through wide sliding doors to a generous semi-covered balcony. Here, the horizon takes centre stage, creating an idyllic setting for long lunches, evening drinks and everyday family life.
The beautifully appointed kitchen combines quality appliances with a generous butler’s pantry, providing excellent functionality for those who enjoy entertaining. Oak flooring, a restrained neutral palette and double glazing enhance the home’s understated aesthetic, while a gas fire, ducted heating and cooling, and solar system provide year-round comfort and efficiency.
Also positioned on the upper level, the primary suite is a private retreat complete with a spacious walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, thoughtfully oriented to capture the coastal and rural outlook. A further generous bedroom, stylish tiled bathroom and separate office provide flexibility for family, guests or those working from home.
Outdoor living is equally compelling. To the west, an in-ground swimming pool and outdoor fireplace create an inviting entertaining environment, perfectly positioned to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun.
The entry level provides a second north-facing living area, two additional bedrooms and a combined bathroom, laundry and utility space, offering excellent separation and versatility for families of all ages.
Adding another dimension to the property is a studio adjoining the substantial double garage. Complete with its own bathroom, entertaining space and cantilevered balcony capturing views to the north, it offers considerable flexibility for extended family, guests, working from home or simply as additional space away from the main residence.
Generous off-street parking is complemented by oversized implement shedding, with excellent height and capacity for boats, motorhomes and recreational equipment. Set across a substantial parcel of land, there is a genuine sense of space and privacy, along with scope for purchasers to explore further possibilities.
Privately positioned within a sought-after coastal setting, 1317 State Highway 2 is a property of genuine presence and versatility. Sweeping views, beautifully resolved interiors and an impressive array of living, entertaining and utility spaces combine to create a distinctive Hawke’s Bay lifestyle.
