luxury apartment / penthouse with panoramic view for sale Hastings, New Zealand

Having lived their dream here for 30 years, the vendors are ready for a new chapter, presenting an exciting opportunity for the next owners to enjoy an exceptional Havelock North lifestyle where space, sophistication and privacy come together beautifully. Spanning approximately 334 sq m, the substantial residence offers generous family living and effortless entertaining. Multiple living areas, a contemporary kitchen with quality appliances and bi-fold doors opening outdoors are complemented by double glazing, ducted air conditioning, underfloor heating in the ensuite and Control4 smart-home automation. An oversized triple garage provides excellent vehicle accommodation and storage. A substantial 100 sq m extension, completed in 2007, further enhances the home’s generous proportions. The addition incorporates cavity construction and continues the home’s gabled roofline. A comprehensive weathertightness report covering the entire property, together with a separate report detailing regular exterior maintenance, provides reassuring documentation regarding the home’s construction, condition and ongoing care. Elevated to capture sweeping rural and landscaped views, the home has been thoughtfully designed to embrace its surroundings. Expansive windows, terraces and outdoor entertaining areas maximise the outlook and create a wonderful connection between indoors and out. Despite its peaceful setting, the property is just a short drive from Havelock North Village and its cafés, boutiques, wineries and everyday amenities. Set on approximately 9442 sq m of established grounds, expansive lawns, mature trees and landscaped gardens create a private sanctuary rich in native birdlife. A robotic lawnmower and part-time gardener, costing just $75 per week, make the grounds easy to manage, leaving more time to enjoy leisure, sporting interests and the lifestyle this property offers. There is also ample room for recreation and further enhancement, including the potential for a swimming pool or additional leisure facilities, subject to any necessary council approvals. The location also offers convenient access to Havelock North’s highly regarded schools, including Havelock North Primary School, Havelock North Intermediate and Havelock North High School, with Woodford House also nearby.
