1717 Maraekakaho Road, Bridge Pa, Hastings, Hawke's Bay Enchanting Spanish Mission retreat

Nestled beyond the private tree-lined driveway 10km west of Hastings, lies this stunning Spanish Mission style three-bedroom homestead. Set on a private three-hectare title this beautifully decorated home was built in 1924 and its solid walls withstood the 1931 earthquake. Step inside this large home to discover a thoughtfully designed kitchen that opens onto a large patio to capture fantastic rural views to the north. Boasting a large open fire, the spacious lounge flows through into a central hallway which connects to an inviting dining room and an expansive second lounge. The home supports three superior bedrooms and two bathrooms. Outdoor living is a highlight with a covered patio area well suited for alfresco dinning and a sunset glass of wine at the end of the day. Notably, the property benefits from an extensive solar panel array, offering efficient power generation which is connected to the grid with an import/export meter. This environmentally-conscious setup fuels a sophisticated internal air circulation HRV system, as well as facilitating the energy-efficient Daikin heating & cooling system. One could grow anything on the three hectares of flat land, graze the horse or run a few sheep or cattle. Water on the property includes town supply and an established bore. An additional highlight is the mature trees providing good summer shade, plus there is a substantial walnut grove, all this only a short drive to town.
