"Awanui", A Magnificent Homestead

After much deliberation, the decision has been made to allow a new owner to enjoy this very special slice of Hawke's Bay's history. Privately nestled amongst spectacular specimen trees at the end of a 1.6km long driveway is the significant, eight bedroom "Awanui" homestead (circa 1934) - designed by renowned architect Eric Phillips. Many of the original features have been retained such as matai floors in many rooms and a stained glass window in the foyer giving the homestead it's old world charm. Approximately 100sqm of wide covered verandas on the north and western sides of the home offer a sheltered escape to relax with a book, glass of local wine or a chat with family and friends. The Homestead has been lovingly maintained and renovations have been made over the last 10 years to create an open plan kitchen, dining and living area that opens out to a private, walled, side garden.
The title comprises 16.4 hectares of flat to easy rolling pastoral land that includes a three bedroom cottage with sleep out, stables with six loose boxes and adjoining accommodation, plus a number of smaller outbuildings and hay barns. The paddocks are subdivided for grazing with a shared bore supplying both stock water and domestic supply. Opportunities exist for the next owner to utilise the scale, aesthetic appeal and location to host a variety functions, Homestays, or simply enjoy with your own family and friends. The tranquil setting belies the easy commute to the vineyards, cafes, schools and shops of Havelock North, Hastings and Napier.
