103 River Road, Havelock North

Located near the banks of the Tukituki River and base of Te Mata Peak, this six-hectare property offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire an extraordinary estate, offering unmatched tranquility. The charming main villa offers an open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge area with accommodation consisting of three bedrooms and one bathroom that incorporates the laundry. Original features abound with high stud ceilings, native timber detailing, hardwood floors and stained glass alongside sympathetic double glazing. A relocated church from Clive was an extension to the original home in the mid-1980s offering a cosy and relaxed hall area and mezzanine level, and previously operated as Akarangi Wines cellar door. The character home is set amongst nature's bounty, with a variety of grapes and apple orchard comprising approximately 4.45 hectares with a current irrigation water permit. A barn-style implement shed is self-contained with significant storage, comprised of both open and lockable bays of varying stud heights, and also accommodates a kitchen, WC and shower amenities. There are also several additional outbuildings offering significant storage or workspaces, including one that has previously been utilised for a yacht to be built, apple packing and winemaking.
