Here is a quite unique property, having genuine claim to many attributes sought by discerning lifestyle buyers, but rarely found - especially in one property, even in the beautiful Hawkes Bay!
20 minutes easy drive from the popular village of Havelock this very beautiful and private 7 hectare (17 acre) property has a very private situation on the edge and overlooking the lovely Tukituki River, considered by many to be Hawkes Bay’s most beautiful, unspoiled, rural destination. This was the site of the historic 19th century Kahuranaki station homestead, chosen for the free flowing pristine spring as well as its sunny but sheltered site with commanding river valley views. The spring remains as a natural swimming pool enjoyed by generations of owners and their children.
This riverside property has largely flat to gentle contour on three terrace levels. On an upper level the present house was constructed in the early 1930’s as the farm homestead and has considerable charm and character. It was soundly constructed with the attractive, traditional, pebble dash plaster finish. Inside is the native timber joinery and floors of the period, waiting for a new owner to restore and reveal the potential of this lovely home. There are three bedrooms, study, farmhouse kitchen and refurbished bathroom. It sits very well in lovely mature grounds and lawns with mature specimen trees, garden and a lawn tennis court. Most importantly it has wonderful river views and rural vistas up and down the valley, including over the historic and picturesque, 19th century Kahuranaki Station woolshed. There is a single car garage, a garden shed and a nearly new three bay tractor or implement shed with concrete floor.
The current owner – an experienced viticulturist, has established a small vineyard sufficient for 1000 bottle of high quality wine. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese vines are planted. In addition a small area is established to Lavender for essential oil production. The balance of this warm, sunny, north facing land is very suitable for expanding either these plantings, other tree crops or perhaps just continued livestock grazing.
The property is accessed from a private resident’s road which continues past the end of the public Rochfort Road. As a consequence the property has a considerable degree of privacy and quiet. For the trout fishing enthusiast this property is in a quite outstanding location. Here is some of Hawkes Bay’s or even New Zealand’s best year round Rainbow and Brown trout fishing. Trout respond well to dry fly, nymph and wet fly fishing and large fish are common in this tranquil, uncrowded river.
For education the location gives the owners a choice of Te Mata Primary School and Havelock North Intermediate, together with a wide range of Secondary Schools. There is a school bus service from a nearby point to Havelock North. A very good alternative for primary and intermediate children is the nearby Elsthorpe Primary school, also with a school bus service. This very well regarded school is typical of the very best of Hawkes Bay’s rural primary schools, offering an excellent standard of primary education with staff to pupil ratios and a quality environment not often achieved in urban schools.
