Rural home on acreage For Sale, Farm For Sale, Hastings,

A few minutes from the centre of Hastings and no more than 10 minutes from Havelock North we offer a beautiful country lifestyle property that is exceptional, not only for the quality and style of the lovely home contained, but also for the quiet and privacy found so close to the city. The property size is 4.479 hectares in size and the balance of land is currently utilised for summer cropping (at present process tomatoes) and winter grazing. These are fertile, well drained sandy loam soils which are very suitable for a wide range of horticultural crops. The property contains a 100mm artesian bore and resource consent for irrigation. Here is a spacious and beautifully proportioned country home, built 40 years ago by master craftsmen to the very highest standards and faultlessly maintained by the same owner to the present date. It has a timelessly attractive brick veneer exterior complimented inside with wooden joinery and French doors and windows throughout. The home is finished and decorated with quality fittings in exceptionally good taste. The home is positioned and designed to capture the morning sun, light and vistas over the eastern hills; Te Mata Peak through to Mt Erin from the east, while facing north and enjoying views over the lawns and gardens through to spectacular sun sets over the distant Ruahine Mountain ranges. The house is well set back form Maraekakaho Road giving a substantial degree of quiet and privacy to its residents. There are four spacious double bedrooms with master bedroom ensuite bathroom, each with their own rural or garden outlook. There is a family bathroom and a separate shower room. The roomy farm house kitchen was recently rebuilt and modernised to a high standard and flows through to an informal kitchen - dining area. A special feature of this lovely home are two generous living areas; a large formal dining – living room and a second equally spacious family living room. Both have open fire places and open out through French doors to the extensive outdoor living areas, lawns and gardens. The home and gardens are framed by many large European specimen trees and reflects years of dedicated effort and good design. There is an attractive, fenced, in-ground swimming pool and lawn tennis court. There is lockup garaging for two cars and covered garaging for two more. The property also contains a three bay tractor or implement shed. This property may be purchased without restriction by overseas residents.
