4197 State Highway 50, Maraekakaho, Hastings, Hawke’s Bay, 4171, New Zealand

Located in the highly desirable lifestyle area of Maraekakaho and within 20 minutes of Hastings CBD this property offers an extensively renovated 1950s home. A variety of ancillary outbuildings offer plenty of potential on an interestingly contoured 2.24 ha property with a mix of flat paddocks and an attractively planted gully.

The home exudes a warm country feel and is generously proportioned throughout. The new open-plan kitchen/dining opens to decking that leads to a funky outdoor dining area that includes inbuilt seating and would be the perfect spot for a pizza oven. The large sun-filled living room opens to a covered verandah that acts as an outdoor living room set up for entertaining. Featuring a projector and screen, an inbuilt BBQ, heating, built-in seating and blinds movie nights at home will be a big hit.

Offering three large bedrooms the master with a gorgeous en-suite, walk-in wardrobe and doors that opens to a west-facing deck is complemented by two queen sized bedrooms that share the renovated country style family bathroom.

A large shed with three phase power sits away from the house and includes a workshop offering options for the new owner. Other buildings and amenities include an outdoor office with power and an inbuilt desk, a self-contained “tiny house” bus, and the classic lifestyle requirements of a chook house and a pig pen. A home orchard leads to a meandering walk through the trees and over the gully to the two roadside paddocks.

Maraekakaho has a well-regarded school and Gumboots early childhood centre, multiple wineries/breweries on the doorstep and plenty of recreation opportunities and is within an easy drive of all Hawke’s Bay cites. Boundary lines are indicative only.
