50 Pakuratahi Valley Road, Tangoio, Hastings, Hawkes Bay

Sitting atop Flat Rock Ridge, accessed by a private road through electric gates, 'Oranga' seamlessly blends modern luxury with timeless charm. From its extensive covered decks, the breathtaking views stretch across Whakaari - Flat Rock, to Mahia Peninsula, and to the south the twinkling night lights of Napier and Cape Kidnappers in the distance.

Built in 2012, the house is filled with character, blending old with new to enable a relaxed, modern, yet simple lifestyle. Polished concrete floors, full insulation, double glazing, and a high-pressure water supply are just a few of the modern features. The butler's pantry, cosy media room, and large kitchen island sit alongside historic solid-timber doors and macrocarpa trusses. An open fire and cast-iron Homewood wood stove with a wetback, fueled by home-grown firewood, enhance the warmth and sustainability.

Three double bedrooms, two with direct outdoor access are serviced by the main bathroom. The fourth bedroom, the primary suite, includes a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite with a tiled shower, clawfoot bath and a separate WC.

The property's sunny, north-facing valleys, with tree-clad slopes, are fully fenced for stock grazing, supported by a set of yards, a dam, rainwater tanks feeding the troughs, and a hay shed. Other parts of the land are bush-clad, offering privacy.

'Oranga' is just 15 minutes from the Hawke's Bay airport, 20 minutes from central Napier, and 35 minutes from Hastings. The area also provides easy access to wineries, restaurants, fishing, kayaking, scenic reserves, and a mountain bike park.

Experience character and soul with stunning views and the perfect balance of modern amenities and rustic charm. This is a rare opportunity for those seeking a downsized rural lifestyle or self-sufficiency.

'Oranga,' where every sunrise and sunset showcases nature's beauty and thoughtful design, viewing will impress.
