179-181 State Highway 2, Otane, Central Hawkes Bay

Set on 5.36 hectares (13.25 acres) of productive land, this substantial family homestead sits beautifully within the rolling rural landscape of Central Hawke's Bay. The stunning grounds showcase a magnificent array of established specimen trees, underplanted with well-tended gardens, terraced vegetable beds and sweeping lawns, creating a wonderfully private and peaceful setting. Extensive outdoor entertaining options flow from both the open-plan living and formal lounge, including an amazing covered pavilion (the perfect setting for Christmas lunch!), all enhanced by an elevated position taking in stunning views across the rolling, tree-studded farmland and towards the distant Ruahine Ranges. The homestead offers three double bedrooms, a study and two bathrooms, while nestled amongst the tranquil gardens are a cosy cabin and spacious studio, ideal for extra accommodation or a creative retreat for artists and authors alike. The infrastructure ticks plenty of boxes too, with a small implement shed, double farm shed, workshop and car garaging, along with 60,000 litres of rainwater storage and a dam in the back paddock. Situated 30km south of Waipukurau and 15km north of Porangahau village, with both Porangahau and Blackhead beaches within easy day-tripping distance. The superb location, private setting and impressive credentials make this a rare opportunity for those seeking a better life in the country, or perhaps something with an entrepreneurial twist. A very special property indeed!

Some properties just have that wow factor. The setting, the views, the home, the gardens - everything comes together so beautifully that you can't help but be impressed. And this absolutely stunning executive home, nestled on 1.79 hectares (4.44 acres) within the highly sought-after JG Wilson Estate, is certainly one of them. Commanding an elevated, north-facing position with sweeping views across farmland and over towards town, this is executive lifestyle living at its finest. Built by GJ Gardner Homes, this beautifully appointed 266m2 residence of generous proportions has spacious open-plan living incorporating a stunning kitchen, complete with quality appliances and a generous breakfast bar. The family living and dining area flows through sliding doors to an expansive sun-drenched deck and covered portico, creating the perfect setting for soaking up those magnificent views. A second, more formal lounge and dining area provides another inviting space to relax or entertain, also opening directly onto the deck. The bedrooms are equally impressive, with four doubles, all with wardrobe storage and all with doors to the deck. The master suite is a beautiful retreat, complete with a picture window framing the garden, direct deck access, walk-in wardrobe and beautifully appointed ensuite. A dedicated office, family bathroom, separate toilet, separate laundry and internal-access double garage complete the well-considered floor plan. And then there are the grounds - quite simply, stunning! Sweeping lawns, established specimen trees and beautifully landscaped gardens frame the pet paddocks beyond. Years of careful planting and attention have created a truly special garden, rich in colour, texture and seasonal interest. A substantial three-bay implement shed, including one enclosed bay, additional garden and woodsheds, excellent water storage and spring-fed stock water provide all the essentials for quality lifestyle living. Properties of this calibre, in such a desirable location, are a rare find. Beautifully established and superbly presented, this is a property where the years of hard work have already been done. All that's left is to move in, settle back and enjoy the exceptional lifestyle on offer.
