Significant Home, Exceptional Views

Positioned above the Tuki Tuki River, this exceptional property captures breathtaking views across the river and surrounding Hawke’s Bay landscape, while enjoying remarkable privacy just five minutes from Havelock North village. Thoughtfully enhanced over the years, including recent renovations by Simon Clarkson, the home has a distinctive architectural aesthetic that responds beautifully to its elevated setting.

Floor-to-ceiling glazing throughout the main living areas draws the landscape into the home, framing the ever-changing Tuki Tuki River views and creating a strong connection with the gardens and surrounding countryside. A beautiful timber staircase provides a striking welcome, while a thoughtfully curated selection of natural materials and considered interior finishes brings warmth, texture and a sense of understated quality throughout the home.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen features handcrafted timber cabinetry, with an adjoining pantry and refurbished laundry adding everyday practicality. A cedar-clad media room on the ground level provides a warm and inviting retreat, while two double bedrooms open directly to the courtyard and share a Jack and Jill bathroom.

Upstairs, the primary suite is a private sanctuary and one of the home’s most memorable spaces. Floor-to-ceiling windows wrap two sides of the room, capturing incredible elevated views over the Tuki Tuki River and land below. Doors open onto a private deck, creating an intimate connection with the landscape and a peaceful place to enjoy the changing light and river views. The beautifully appointed en-suite is equally impressive. A walk-in wardrobe completes the suite, while a fourth bedroom offers flexibility as guest accommodation or a home office.

Outdoor living is well considered, with vertical louvre shutters allowing the sheltered courtyard spaces to be opened or enclosed with the seasons. Immaculate grounds, rolling lawns and established landscaping enhance the home’s privacy while remaining beautifully manageable.

Extensive triple garaging provides generous space for vehicles and storage, while a separate workshop or further garaging, offers further versatility.

Combining exceptional views, privacy, a distinctive architectural aesthetic and generous living, this remarkable Havelock North property offers an elevated Hawke’s Bay lifestyle just minutes from the heart of the village.
