Here is a great little rural property with wonderful scope and criteria for a number of purposes, including potential as a tourist home stay or fishing lodge, or even just as a peaceful and private country home for a keen angler. This is a special and genuinely unique property with qualities only occasionally offered on the Hawkes Bay or even New Zealand real estate market.
The 8 hectare property is located very near Hawkes Bay’s beautiful Lake Tutira and little less than 30 minutes drive north from the city of Napier (or 20 minutes from the airport) on State Highway No 2. The home is a modernised 1930’s era New Zealand bungalow with charm and character, in a lovely setting and with a commanding position overlooking the Waikoau River. From its source in the high country this lovely, pristine little high country river passes through steep, largely inaccessible countryside before passing this property and following further hill country to the sea. This is a wonderful little trout river, stocked not only from its own wild population but also from nearby Lake Tutera from where many large fish escape via a tributary into the Waikoau. As a result the trout population is exceptional, even for a New Zealand river. This property and its surrounds provide easy access to the upstream reaches of this otherwise largely inaccessible river and offer the keen angler an exceptional fishing experience.
Lake Tutera is a short drive distant, being about 2 kilometres north from the property. This truly beautiful little lake offers great winter and summer trout fishing from shore or from small boats. The lake is a wildlife sanctuary where motorised boats are not permitted and as a result anglers may enjoy the total tranquillity of this lovely pristine environment disturbed only by the countless numbers of many species of wild fowl.
The offers well fenced good quality sheltered grazing on gentle terrain for livestock. If required by a new owner this area could be grazed and maintained by a neighbouring farmer. A distinctive feature are the many hundreds of native trees, plants and shrubs successfully established over recent years, now thriving in the microclimate of this sheltered sunny valley, there is no doubt that this lovely property will become even more exceptional in years to come.
The 3 bedroom bungalow has been considerably extended and modernised over the years. It is set well away from the road and accessed via long attractive driveway through landscaped grounds. A spacious, recently modernised country kitchen is one feature of the home. Other rooms include three double bedrooms, office, formal dining and a large and comfortable family living room. Another special feature is a large and spacious studio currently used by the craftsman owner. This area has potential for many other applications, including conversion into guest accommodation. The home is generously warmed in winter by three wood burners.
The living areas of the house overlook and open onto the lawn and gardens with their many mature trees, shrubs and Rhododendrons and from its elevated position there are views of the river below.
