How does 20ha (49 acres) STS just eight minutes to the beach sound, with amazing views from the peak to the sea in the east and the mighty Ruahine Ranges in the west? Just 45 minutes from Havelock North sits a piece of bareland which screams out for someone to transform it into a magnificent rural retreat. There is power to the roadside, water access for livestock from a dam, great fencing and all so close to one of the most stunning beaches in Hawke's Bay. The coastline at both nearby Kairakau and Mangakuri beaches are prized for their stunning golden sands, great surfing, abundance of fishing and diving spots and relaxed way of life.
