Timeless Elegance, Desirable Lifestyle

New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty are proud to present Hawthorne House, one of Hawke’s Bay’s most distinguished lifestyle offerings. Built circa 1906, and now fully renovated to include modern amenities, this grand Edwardian villa sits majestically within 5.4 hectares of established grounds and rolling paddocks, offering a rare sense of privacy, scale and timeless elegance.

Our clients, and custodians of this richly detailed home, have made sure to retain all the original charm of the residence including the original sash windows, stained glass and finely crafted native timberwork and have ensured they are all beautifully preserved. Sunlit interiors balance heritage charm with modern comfort, creating a home that feels impressive whilst still welcoming. Formal living and dining rooms provide wonderful spaces for entertaining, while the gourmet kitchen, which is complete with marble benchtops and premium appliances, connects seamlessly to covered verandahs and outdoor living.

Five generous bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobing and stylish en-suites, open to private seating areas and garden views, making everyday living feel indulgent yet relaxed. Central radiator heating throughout ensures year-round comfort and a separate guest powder room completes the main residence.

Positioned to the rear, The Mews is a fully self-contained three-bedroom home, ideal for extended family, guests, or independent living. In addition, and offering further practicality, is a large and functional laundry plus an office. Together, this offering creates outstanding accommodation flexibility rarely found in a single estate.

Beyond the residence, the grounds offer something truly special: a large kitchen vegetable garden and small orchard, manicured gardens, sheds, flat paddocks suitable for grazing or horses and a series of tranquil outdoor spaces.

Located just 10 minutes from Havelock North and 30 minutes from Napier, Hawthorne House provides an exceptional lifestyle close to wineries, golf courses, restaurants, beaches and the very best of Hawke’s Bay.

A landmark property of substance, history and versatility - ready to be enjoyed as an extraordinary family home with additional business potential should that be of interest.

A comprehensive property information memorandum, including LIM and Building Report are available upon request.
