5/113 Ireland Road, Waipawa, Central Hawkes Bay

A true collaboration of site, setting, design and detail where every element comes together to create one truly exceptional property. This 2021 built home is an absolute masterclass in understated class and design - clean-lined and deliberately simple to allow the sensational elevated setting amongst the professionally landscaped grounds with the breathtaking views north up the valley do the talking. Lines blur between indoors and out with the spacious open plan living and all three double bedrooms opening through sliders to the decking and native gardens beyond. Attention to detail and a clever use of space maximise the 135m2 floor plan with two beautifully appointed bathrooms, separate toilet and laundry along with a custom designed kitchen with walk in pantry. Exceptionally warm and inviting having been perfectly positioned to capture the natural warmth of the all-day sun while incorporating all the bells and whistles, luxurious appointments, and energy efficiency one would expect from a property of this quality including double glazed aluminium joinery, full insulation and a Pyroclassic free standing fire. Outside the 8,959m2 (2.21 acre) property unfolds into curated pockets of professionally landscaped gardens with secluded spaces for outdoor entertaining or a private spot for your spa along with boxed vegetable gardens, an array of fruit trees, perpetual firewood trees, a purpose-built chicken enclosure and pet paddocks. There's a single carport, a powered three-bay implement shed (two open, one enclosed) and a standalone cabin is available by negotiation. Sustainability is also built-in, with solar feeding back into the grid and three 25,000 litre rainwater tanks. A truly exceptional readymade lifestyle, meticulously crafted with no detail spared. Not one to be missed!

Clever design, beautiful finishes and an incredible connection to the outdoors create a stunning fusion of life and style at this 2020-built cedar-clad home. The striking exterior makes a refreshing change from the norm and at just 121m2, it's a masterclass in making every square metre count with spacious living spaces and three generous bedrooms! You'll immediately appreciate the attention to detail, with stunning engineered oak flooring mixed with plush carpet, ply ceilings with crisp negative detailing through the central living space, V-groove walls and extra-height aluminium joinery creating a home that's both designer and homely. The northerly aspect floods the interior with natural light, while beautifully framing the surrounding rural outlook. The well appointed kitchen, complete with induction hob, takes centre stage in the open-plan living area, where a cleverly positioned partition wall provides definition between spaces without compromising the sense of openness. A fabulous window seat overlooking the farmland and orchard to the rear adds a relaxed, homely touch, along with a Bosca free standing wood burner while large doors open to the north-facing entertainer's deck. Outside, the 5,371m2 (1.32 acre) grounds are equally appealing. Set well back from the road, with a paddock to the front for the pets and established native plantings attracting birdlife, there's a real sense of space and privacy. Two 25,000-litre rainwater tanks and an eco-friendly Biolytix septic system. Enjoy the best of semi-rural living, just minutes from the shops, local school and everyday amenities, while Hastings is an easy 35-minute commute. A stunning take on lifestyle living!

Some homes need a second viewing. This one will have you sold on the spot. Tucked towards the end of a private driveway, wrapped in beautifully established gardens on a 7,526m2 (1.85 acre) site gazing east across a spectacular rural landscape, this is luxury lifestyle living done exceptionally well. Beautifully designed and crafted to make the absolute most of its surroundings - peaceful, private and polished to perfection. The stunning, light-filled open-plan kitchen, dining and living area is the heart and soul of the home and is designed to be enjoyed, with a fabulous walk-in pantry, quality appointments and a seamless flow straight out to the covered entertaining area. And then there's the master suite. More retreat than bedroom, sliders spill onto the patio where the included spa pool awaits, while a walk-through wardrobe and stunning ensuite add a little everyday luxury. Two further double bedrooms, both with wardrobes, are complemented by a beautifully appointed family bathroom with stunning walk in tiled shower, while a clever office nook gives you somewhere to get the work done without sacrificing a bedroom. But what really makes this home stand out are all those little details you don't fully appreciate until you have them. Electric hallway blinds, attic storage, stunning tiling, polished concrete and plush carpet, quality fixtures and fittings, free standing Masport fire, heat pump, heat transfer and an energy-efficient heat-pump hot water system - everything has been considered, right down to every last finishing touch. Outside is every bit as impressive. The fully fenced grounds are beautifully planted, there's a large storage shed with roller door in additional to the double integral garage with a woodshed tucked neatly away behind it, and two 30,000-litre rainwater tanks with Puretec filtration system. But perhaps some of its best features aren't ones you can measure. It's the peace. The privacy. The simply outstanding rural views. It's morning sun spilling across the landscape, evenings spent soaking in the spa, and the feeling of turning into your own private, luxurious pocket of the world and leaving everything else somewhere behind you. Simply sensational.
