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've been dreaming of a bit more space, a slower pace and kids coming in at night happy, muddy and exhausted - this might just be the one! Set on 1.19ha (2.94 acres) of elevated lifestyle goodness, this north-facing, three bedroom, two bathroom family home has all the key ingredients for life on the land. Leave the muddy boots in the mudroom just inside the back door, complete with adjoining bathroom, and step into spacious living centred around a striking, country style modern kitchen with combined dining and two separate living spaces. Double glazed aluminium joinery, two wood burners and a heat transfer system keep the home cosy, warm and inviting when there's snow capping the nearby Ruahines along with solar power system with excess fed back to the grid. Slide open the doors from both living spaces to the covered outdoor entertaining area complete with outdoor bar, or relax on the wraparound deck admiring the sensational views over farmland towards the ranges while the kids disappear off climbing trees, ripping it up on bikes, building forts or tending to the pets. And speaking of animals - there's room here for the whole lifestyle starter pack! Five paddocks (one deer fenced), stock yards, loads of shedding including a three bay implement shed, large workshop, a greenhouse, young fruit trees and excellent fencing meaning lots of the hard graft has already been done. Just add a few pet lambs, a calf or maybe finally say yes to that pony request you've been avoiding! There's even an outdoor cabin and studio room tucked behind the double garage - ideal for hobbies, working from home, teenagers and their mates who seem to never leave! Sheltered to the west by an established shelter belt and well located just five minutes from Takapau, you'll enjoy the best of both worlds with schools, sports clubs, golf course, health centre and everyday essentials all close at hand. This is family-centric lifestyle living done well!
