Te Mata Peak Road, Havelock North, Hawke's Bay

Secluded on the slopes of iconic Te Mata Peak, this Barry Sweet designed property unfolds spectacularly beyond the unassuming electric gate entrance. Originally built in the late 1960s, and cherished by only a handful of owners, it has been substantially upgraded to suit modern family life, with an abundance of indoor-outdoor living and entertaining options. 

An inviting entrance opens to a spacious open-plan kitchen and living area, seamlessly flowing to a generous entertaining deck with breathtaking views to the sea and Napier. Overlooking the pool area, with its paved surround and glass fencing, this outdoor oasis sets the stage for relaxation and entertainment. Year-round comfort is considered with a formal living-dining room, boasting a Stovax woodburner and opening to a sheltered courtyard, complete with an outdoor fireplace and electric awning. A private guest bedroom with tiled ensuite and an office also open to this area.

On the northern wing, the generous master suite commands captivating views, with abundant storage, a study nook with views to Te Mata Peak, and a generous tiled ensuite. A modern extension by Simon Clarkson, the family wing comprises a media room with a gas fire and balcony access, two double bedrooms, a tiled bathroom with separate powder room, and ducted air-conditioning.

Modern convenience is key with a new roof, updated wiring, and double glazing throughout. Storage is superb with a walk-in linen cupboard, separate laundry, large double garage, and substantial attic space. 1.2ha (more or less) grounds feature irrigated lawns, landscaped plantings, and raised vegetable gardens. Unfolding beyond the lower lawn is a magical wonderland, leading to a barbeque platform with views over the paddocks.

This is a wonderful opportunity for families and outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy a meticulously maintained lifestyle property, on the edge of the village yet only a short distance from all that Te Mata Peak Park has to offer. Offers under the RV would be considered by the vendor.
