Historic Mangakuri homestead
Mangakuri homestead is a stunning tribute to early 1920's New Zealand architecture, crafted from the finest native timbers with certain grandeur befitting of its status as a home to Samuel (SR) Williams and his family, a descendant of J N Williams who acquired the original 21,000 acre coastal station and its some 18,000 sheep in 1876. Today this homestead sits upon 8.28 hectares (21.74 acres) STS of land and continues to be an outstanding testament to refined Hawke's Bay country living, radiating elegance through its fine craftsmanship and apparent attention to detail. The magnificent grounds with stunning north facing views up the tree studded valley, sprawling lawns, disused tennis court and impressive array of established specimen trees create a beautiful setting for hosting garden parties while the sheer size of the home, complete with original staff quarters, would accommodate the largest of families or perhaps Airbnb guests. The main house comprises of five double bedrooms (or four and a study), the master with adjoined private sunroom and dressing room, two bathrooms upstairs and down, large country style family kitchen with large walk in larder, walk through scullery and coal range that heats the radiator heaters; traditional timber panelled stairwell, formal dining room and two reception/sitting rooms while opening through French doors to a lovely north facing front terrace. An array of outbuildings exist including a double garage with workshop, and farm shedding while the land has areas of wilderness and several paddocks to graze a few house pets. Mangakuri is located 50km south of Havelock North and just over an hour from Napier airport while being less than five minutes of Mangakuri beach therefore presenting an outstanding opportunity for someone passionate for preservation to further investigate the multiplicity of uses a property of such status, authentic character and location could provide.

If you could combine calm lifestyle, location, income and sustainability, would that be your slice of heaven? This is a truly restful retreat in a stunning part of the world - on the river and minutes from the popular Kairakau beach. So thoughtfully curated to ensure you live a self sustainable, off grid good life with great potential for income generation from the land or the coffee cart, or as a holiday retreat when the summer sun shines on us. The two bedroom modern, warm home is compact and clever, no wasted space but welcoming and stylish. The walk to ‘work’ from there is simple, with 3.14 hectares you can run a few sheep, fatten some cattle and grow until your hearts content. There is a large carport alongside the house, a separate container and shed, a potting shed and over 60sqm of vegetable gardens, an abundance of berries, fruit trees and citrus. There is great water supply with a bore, tank at the house and irrigation throughout the garden. The owners are also very negotiable to leaving a lot of tools, equipment, quad bikes and gear. There is great internet, solar and gas for off grid necessities, shedding, thousands of natives and space to keep on developing. As one couples dream changes, this could be your permanent retreat from the world or holiday base camp. Let your imagination run wild.
