Set high above vineyard country in the heart of Maraekakaho, this remarkable offering at 190 Whakapirau Road captures a lifestyle best described as like living in a painting. With sweeping, uninterrupted views stretching northwest across rolling hills, vineyards, and distant snow-capped ranges, this is a setting that evolves with the seasons yet never loses its sense of calm and wonder. Just minutes from the welcoming Maraekakaho village – with its well-regarded local school and strong community spirit – and only 15 minutes from Hastings, the location strikes a perfect balance between rural tranquility and everyday convenience. A gentle rise from the valley floor brings you to an elevated position where the outlook truly speaks for itself. A sealed driveway rises up from the road where you’re welcomed by a flat building site, fully fenced with established native plantings, allowing you to focus on your dream design to fit into the stunning landscape. Nestled gently below the building platform is a modern two bedroom minor dwelling with decking, stunning views and a Cedar spa pool for enjoying those starry Hawke’s Bay evenings. With established accommodation already in place, you have the rare advantage of living comfortably on site while planning and building your main home – allowing you to secure the position now and create something truly special over time. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful lifestyle retreat, a multi-generational living solution, or the potential to generate income through visitor accommodation, the versatility here is undeniable. Beyond the property, you’re perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of Hawke’s Bay living – renowned wineries are within easy reach, and the acclaimed Hastings Golf Club at Bridge Pa lies just 10 minutes away.
