LIFESTYLE: Incredibly private yet close to town with fantastic views across the estuary to Napier Hill, this 1.5 hectare Poraiti lifestyle really is a hidden gem! Nestled within beautiful lush gardens, the living is easy in this four bedroom home boasting spacious and sunny open plan living with pitched ceilings, exposed beams and American oak flooring. Alfresco dining is a delight on the deck next to the spring-fed pond. The gorgeous and quaint two bedroom “Violet Annie’s Cottage” provides options for extra earnings or as cosy accommodation for family and guests. Double garaging with workshop space provides that necessary storage for a few toys. There is ample room for grazing a few animals and space for the children to roam through the paddocks. Let the chickens roam free range, harvest the vegetable garden and stretch your legs along the estuary walkways and cycleway which are literally on your doorstep. This is a very special Hawke’s Bay lifestyle property indeed. Tender closes 4.00pm Thursday 29 July (unless sold prior) hawkesbaylifestyle.com
