Semi Coastal Lifestyle with Two Modern Family Homes

Near the picturesque seaside village Haumoana is an attractive 2.6 (about 6 ½ acres) hectare rural property featuring two modern residences each in their own attractive setting together with prime horticultural land suitable for many purposes.

The property has an ideal location being little more than 10 minutes drive to either Havelock North with its wide range of schools or the City of Hastings. The city of Napier is less than 15 minutes drive distance. The local Haumoana Primary School (year 1 to 6) and the adjacent Haumoana Play Centre are both very highly regarded and there is a further range of primary, intermediate and secondary schools within easy reach of this property i.e. at Clive, Havelock North, Hastings and Napier.

This immediate area offers residents an outstanding quality of lifestyle. There are safe swimming and surfing beaches and boat launching at the Clifton Sports Fishing Club. There is excellent beach and river fishing a few minutes away including the beautiful Tuki Tuki River which offers superb year round trout fishing. There are a number of famous wineries and restaurants within close distance as well as the internationally famous Cape Kidnappers Golf Course and the Cape Kidnappers Gannet colony all of which make this an ideal location for a bed and breakfast accommodation business.

The major residence “Fairhall” is an early 20th century villa recently reconstructed and renovated by the current owners to a luxurious new family home standard. While retaining its old world character Fairhall is undoubtedly a lovely modern home with the very highest standard of fittings and decoration. There are three large double bedrooms, each with its own substantial, modern, ensuite bathroom, including toilet and shower. One of the bedrooms has wheel chair access and facilities which were constructed to comply with current regulations affecting properties used for commercial accommodation.

There are two living rooms, one small and snug and the other; a large formal dining and living room featuring polished wooden ceilings, joinery and open fireplace. A completely new, spacious kitchen was completed in 2009 together with all new fittings and appliances. Adjacent to the house is lockup garaging for 3 cars and a further 3 bay tractor or implement shed and laundry – utility storage building

This home was reconstructed to comply with all current regulations for commercial bed and breakfast accommodation including fire safety, wheel chair access (etc) and a modern bio-cycle sewerage system. It is offered for sale a spacious modern family home which also offers a new owner the option to operate a bed and breakfast operation if this option was required.

Both homes sit in their own individual, attractively landscaped grounds, with a wide range of attractive specimen and ornamental as well as productive olive, walnut and fruit trees. The property has a substantial area of prime horticultural land with fertile, free draining sandy loam soils, currently in pasture and highly suited for grazing, but also to a wide range of tree crops, horticulture and market gardening. There are two artesian bores on the property with abundant high quality water.

In the Hastings District residential building regulations are such that two substantial homes on one land tile are rare. This is a rare opportunity for a buyer to acquire a well developed and well located property with two quality homes as well as significant, diversified income prospects.

In most circumstances this property could be purchased by an overseas person without restriction.
