Historic Waipawa landmark "The Pines"
"The Pines" is the first built and oldest surviving home in Waipawa - built in 1858 by Thomas Henry Fitzgerald, constructed out of Kauri shipped to Napier and transported to this site by bullock wagon. Set back off the road just a short walk from town, this majestic four-bedroom, two-storey home (Historic Places Category 2) has always turned heads and stands amongst stunning towering trees and a wonderful garden which used to attract many visitors. Restored to its original beauty in the 1980s, the homestead is set on a sizeable 6336m2 section (just over 1.5 acres), with paddocks surrounding the home giving complete privacy. The Dove Cote (rebuilt to original plans in the 1990s) sits pride of place above the home, adding to the beauty of the property. Legend has it Dr Alexander Todd, the third owner of the property used to send his patients home with a pigeon, when they needed his help, they released the pigeon and he would come to their aid! You will be in awe of the original features inside and out - timber floors and wall panelling, a gorgeous claw foot bath and beautiful coal range - yet live in comfort with modern touches throughout including an ensuite in the master bedroom, heat pumps and modern bathroom fitouts. There are so many spaces to retreat in this home, with a separate living room, two sunny conservatories, a private upstairs nook or head to the front verandah with delightful garden views. This is the perfect home for history and garden lovers wanting to own a significant historic Waipawa landmark - you will completely immerse yourself in the stunning surroundings and could even resurrect the nursery business which provided customers with their own piece of history from these gardens. This is a magical property ready for you to add to its amazing story.
