Quietly and privately tucked away in a garden sanctuary where years of thoughtful planting have created a magnificent setting, this beautiful homestead has raised generations and is a legacy to the wider Raukawa area. Circa 1911, this four bedroom Californian bungalow is one of only a few of the original station homes remaining in this locality. Solidly built from native timbers locally sourced, the home elegantly features stunning heart Matai throughout and exudes character and history. Views from the traditional verandahs overlook the inground swimming pool and beyond the beautifully tended grounds. Excellent shedding includes a four bay implement shed alongside the original sturdy shedding. Waterfalls and swimming holes are an incredible highlight of the gorgeous bush-lined stream that courses through the property, and a potager garden provides year round vegetables in this sheltered oasis. The “Whare”, a lush little two bedroom cottage adjacent to the home, welcomes guests or extended family. All on 8.1 hectares of easy, well-fenced land populated with native bush, bird life and plenty of grazing. This ultimate lifestyle: An exceptional property. A perfect setting for raising your next generation. hawkesbaylifestyle.com
