1280 Howard Street, Parkvale, Hastings, Hawkes Bay

For those with multiple vehicles and storage requirements this is certainly the property for you. Holding jaw-dropping appeal to many amongst us with significant shedding at 8.5m x 12.4m (high stud), also coming complete with a 'man cave' and mezzanine level. Behind this building is also the added feature of a significant 3 bay lean-to (6.4 x 12.4m), well covered for overflow vehicles, machinery and general storage. Double garaging attached to the home is also larger than the norm at approximately 7 x 7.5m.

The fabulous home itself is set amongst sprawling grounds here at Howard Street and offers 3 bedrooms plus an office/utility room (or the flexibility of using this space as perhaps a second lounge/fourth bedroom if that is what is needed). Two bathrooms, complete with underfloor heating, and wonderful indoor/outdoor flow to the covered patios and garden beyond are more boxes ticked here. An excellent log fire with a wetback system keep the home comfortable year-round along with heat pumps. Further to these practicalities there is the fantastic benefit of a solar system comprising 22 x 400W solar panels mounted on the shed roof. Solar power is fed from these to the shed, house and to the fabulous in-ground salt-water pool to run its heat pump. Any excess power is sold back to the grid.

The property comprises approximately 3 ha (more or less) of land, largely planted in stone fruit. There is an irrigation consent for the orchard and the home can be run off either the bore or via mains water from St Georges Road. Offering the ultimate Hawke's Bay lifestyle, this property sits on the outskirts of Havelock North and Hastings bordering St Georges Road with wonderful outlook across to Te Mata Peak. This is a highly popular and handy lifestyle location close to the amenities of both townships and offers a wealth of options for those who are after space, privacy and outlook.
