510 Porangahau Road, Waipukurau, Central Hawkes Bay, Hawkes Bay

Nestled upon 6.99 hectares (17.28 acres) of productive farmland a mere five minutes' drive from the centre of town, this exceptional property is a lifestyler like no other. The tree lined drive opens to reveal the striking, architecturally Hoogerbrug Scott designed family home, perched upon an elevated site affording stunning views towards Lake Whatuma and the Ruahine Ranges beyond. Sweeping manicured lawns, in ground swimming pool, tennis court (defective) and magnificent entertainers deck create an inviting setting synonymous with Hawke's Bay living. The two separate living spaces are well configured to provide flexible options for both everyday family living and formal entertaining while providing connection to the north facing deck via the double glazed sliding doors. The more formal second lounge is an intimate space stepped down from the central living hub with inbuilt bar and second wood burner. The beautifully appointed kitchen has bi folding windows to ensure you don't miss a beat of the conversation flowing around the outdoor BBQ table. All four bedrooms have their own external doors that open out to the sun-drenched courtyard that extends the entire north facing aspect while the capacious master suite is a true parental retreat, set separately with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom. Here power bills are kept to a minimum with 12 solar panels and 14kw battery storage with excess fed back into the grid. Domestic garaging is provided with double integral garage and automatic garage door and farm shedding with a three bay implement style shed with one enclosed bay and power. The land is divided into four hard fenced paddocks, but additional water troughs allow this to be divided into nine paddocks with set of cattle yards and the Mangatarata Stream meandering through the rear of the property. Water is supplied with an enviable connection to the renowned Farm Road water scheme into a 20,000 litre tank, plus two 20,000 litre tanks for rainwater collection.
