School's out, opportunity's in!
For 124 years, the Wallingford School site was at the heart of its small rural community in Central Hawke's Bay. Established in January 1881, the school educated generations of local children, many from families living and working on the surrounding farms and stations, including the historic Wallingford Station. Back in 1905, Wallingford was a thriving rural settlement, complete with a blacksmith, boarding house, telephone exchange and a daily horse-drawn coach service to Waipukurau. The local school was far more than a place of education. It was a gathering place, a social hub and an important part of everyday country life. Changing times and declining rural populations eventually took their toll. By the end of 2004, just six pupils remained, and the school officially closed its doors on 15 April 2005. Since then, the 1.22-hectare (approximately three-acre) site in two titles and former school buildings have served as a family home. Now, here is an incredible opportunity to breathe new life into the former school! Set amongst a stunning assortment of mature trees, the expansive grounds are full of reminders of its old school days, including the tennis court and school swimming pool (as is condition) and the lawns now paddocks. Some of the buildings are in need of a little love and attention, but there's something pretty special about a property with this much potential. Being sold as is, where is, come explore the possibilities of it could offer you - the next chapter is yours to write!

Some lifestyle properties tick the boxes. This one raises the bar. Set on 4.19 hectares (10.35 acres) of premium land in one of Waipukurau's most prestigious lifestyle enclaves, it sets the benchmark for lifestyle living. Beautifully established and finished to an exceptional standard, this executive-style Platinum Home has been brilliantly designed with family living at its heart. Sun-filled formal and family living spaces wrap around the eastern and northern aspects, flowing seamlessly to an expansive outdoor entertaining area with a covered portico to extend the living even further, creating an all-season setting for entertaining. The bedrooms are generous, with four double bedrooms including a private master retreat, complete with a walk-in wardrobe, an ensuite and door to the terrace. A dedicated office keeps everyday life neatly contained, while the beautifully appointed family bathroom, separate toilet, and separate laundry deliver practicality with beautiful aesthetics. Winter warmth and efficiency have been prioritised, with double glazing, full insulation, a wood burner, a heat transfer system, HRV, and a wetback hot water cylinder. Outside, the infrastructure is well matched to the lifestyle on offer. The 10.35 acres of premium land so close to town is a rare offering in itself, complemented by a three-bay implement shed (one bay enclosed) with its own water tank servicing stock troughs, while two large tanks supply the home. In the lower corner, there is also scope to create a beautiful wetland area, further enhancing an already exceptional setting. One of the property's most outstanding features is its elevated position, capturing views across the Waipukurau Racecourse and township. With the land directly in front forming part of the property, these spectacular views are protected and cannot be built out, providing a rare sense of space, privacy and permanence that is seldom available. Properties of this calibre, on land of this size and in such a tightly held location, are difficult to find. Premium living with a standout Waipukurau address - don't let this one pass you by.
