luxury houses for sale Hawke's Bay, New Zealand

137 Black Barn Road has been seen before. This time, it needs to be looked at differently. Now offered for sale by court order. Previous pricing expectations should be disregarded. This is a new campaign, under different circumstances, and buyers should approach the property afresh. Because behind the scale of this house are some very good reasons to look again. At approximately 654 m2, this is a substantial home, but it does not feel like one enormous space asking everyone to live together. Instead, rooms peel away from one another. Breakfast can be happening around the kitchen while someone works behind a closed office door. Another living room can have the television on. Guests can occupy an entirely different part of the house. Later, everyone can find their way back outside. Across the ground floor, doors open repeatedly to the lawn and covered terraces. There is space to eat outside beside the fireplace, sit under cover as the evening cools, or move between indoors and out without everything happening in the same place. The kitchen sits at the centre of everyday life, with open-plan dining alongside it and some less obvious practicalities behind the scenes, including a walk-in chiller. Formal dining, separate living spaces, an office or studio and a den give the house a level of flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find. Upstairs, the separation continues. There are six bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, while the primary suite occupies a much larger part of the floor. Its balcony looks out across the lawn, established planting and the landscape beyond – one of several elevated viewpoints that make you appreciate where the house sits. Outside, the gardens become more formal. Clipped hedging, a fountain courtyard, potager gardens and established planting give structure around a house of this scale, while the western side opens to the wider outlook. The property feels enclosed when you want privacy, yet surprisingly expansive when you look beyond its boundary. And that boundary is only part of the story. As part of Hill Country Estate, owners have access to the estate’s communal grounds and facilities, including the tennis court and pavilion, golf course and the ability to roam through the vineyard landscape. Black Barn’s restaurant, cellar door and events are within a short walk, while Havelock North village is only minutes away. There is no disguising that the circumstances of this sale are different. That is precisely why this campaign should not be measured against what has gone before.

Please note: some marketing imagery is historical and may not reflect the property’s current presentation. It is time to look again.

Imagine waking to coastal light and sweeping views across Hawke’s Bay, where the ocean and sky shape the rhythm of each day. Architecturally designed by Paris Magdalinos Architects and completed in 2009, this elevated residence known as ‘The Vewe’ delivers relaxed sophistication, defined by outlook, privacy and thoughtful design. European influence is evident throughout, expressed through enduring materials, clean lines and spaces that feel both impressive and immediately liveable. The home is designed to flow effortlessly, with living, dining and entertaining areas connecting seamlessly to the outdoors. Expansive glazing captures panoramic views stretching from the Pacific Ocean to Cape Kidnappers and along Napier’s Marine Parade, while retained concrete walls provide striking architectural form, softened by established gardens for privacy. At the centre of the home, the designer kitchen with butler’s pantry connects naturally with the dining area, where the ocean remains a constant presence. Bi-fold doors open to a generous deck and a covered alfresco dining area complete with an outdoor fireplace - an ideal setting for relaxed entertaining or quiet evenings at home. Multiple living areas offer flexibility, including a stylish lounge with bespoke cabinetry and a light-filled conservatory, both opening directly to the expansive decks. Quality finishes are carried throughout, with French oak polished floors, marble tiles, cedar shutters and a copper roof adding warmth and longevity. Modern comforts are well integrated, including double glazing, ducted air conditioning and a wine cellar with tasting room. Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged across two levels. The lower level offers two generous bedrooms, each with an en-suite and bespoke built-in cabinetry, opening to a private, sheltered courtyard. Upstairs, the opulent primary suite enjoys an elevated position with views across Napier, complemented by a six-star bathroom finished in travertine stone with Philippe Starck fittings. Set on sought-after and prestigious Elizabeth Road, this secure, low-maintenance property is well suited to those seeking a refined lock-and-leave or an elegant permanent home. With architectural integrity, exceptional outlook and a strong sense of privacy, this is a compelling opportunity in one of Hawke’s Bay’s most desirable locations for the most discerning buyer. Viewing by Appointment - please contact Jacqui Taylor or Dakota Gregory to arrange.

One side of the house watches the world go by. Boats leave their berths. Paddleboarders cross the water. Light moves across the marina and the outlook changes with the weather. Turn in the other direction and you are in an entirely private world of limestone, water and tropical planting - a heated magnesium pool, spa and cabana hidden from the street and sheltered from view. That contrast is at the heart of The Quay. Completed in 2025, the 607m² residence was designed by Architecture HDT and constructed by Gemco as a contemporary coastal courtyard house. Its scale is substantial, but scale alone doesn't explain it. The architecture moves between outlook and retreat, entertaining and privacy, activity and escape. Precast concrete and structural steel give the house its permanence. Aluminium, New Zealand limestone and glass shape the exterior, while inside, copper, natural stone, American black walnut, timber ceilings and extensive glazing soften the architecture and add warmth. The principal living level sits above the marina. Kitchen, dining and living spaces take in life on the water while decks on both sides of the house allow you to follow the sun - marina on one side, pool courtyard on the other. The kitchen island will probably be where people end up, regardless of where you intended them to sit. It anchors a kitchen designed as much for people as cooking, supported by a scullery and temperature-controlled wine cellar. Nearby, a dedicated wellness retreat means steam, cold water and recovery rituals need not involve leaving home. The main bedroom and guest suite are also positioned on this upper level. Downstairs, the house changes character again. A second full kitchen, living room and laundry allow this level to function with genuine independence for adult children, extended family, guests or live-in support. Two further bedroom suites sit alongside the gallery, entry and three-car garaging. Then there is the courtyard. French limestone paving surrounds the magnesium pool and inground spa. Tropical planting creates enclosure, an outdoor copper shower adds another layer, and the cabana - complete with copper bar and featuring a marble bar top - makes the pool area somewhere to spend from the afternoon through to late evening rather than simply somewhere to swim. An eight-person lift connects the levels, while smart technology, solar and battery storage, underfloor heating, ducted heating and cooling and acoustic glazing quietly take care of much of the practical work behind the scenes. The Quay gives you two very different ways of living in one remarkable place. Outward to the water. Inward to complete privacy.

Designed by Hawke’s Bay architect Graham Linwood, 75 Millar Road is a distinctive 409m² lifestyle residence set across approximately 7.57 hectares in the hills above Haumoana. Built in earth block and timber, the home has a depth and character that immediately sets it apart. The earth-block walls are composed of approximately 70% limestone, 20% granulated clay and 10% cement, complemented by cedar joinery, macrocarpa ceilings and recycled native timber trusses. The result is a home that feels substantial, warm and closely connected to its landscape. Deep-set windows frame changing views across lawn, mature trees and rolling countryside, extending towards the Ruahine and Kaweka ranges, Napier Hill and glimpses of the Pacific Ocean. At the centre of the home, the kitchen, dining and living spaces form one generous open-plan area. The kitchen features native timber cabinetry, granite preparation surfaces, a substantial island, extensive storage and a separate stainless-steel work area with a second sink. Bifold windows behind the main kitchen sink open directly into the adjoining indoor/outdoor entertaining room, creating an easy connection between the two spaces. Within the main living area, an open fire framed by local river stone and a feature recycled Jarrah mantel brings another layer of warmth and texture to the interior. The indoor/outdoor entertaining room is one of the defining spaces of The Hearth. Exposed timber trusses rise overhead, skylights bring in additional natural light and bifold doors open almost the full length of the western wall to the courtyard and garden. A second local river stone fireplace anchors one corner, while a built-in three-metre window seat with storage below creates a relaxed place to sit and take in the surroundings. It is a space designed for year-round entertaining - long lunches with the doors folded back, summer evenings extending outdoors and cooler nights gathered around the fire. Accommodation includes four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a separate office and a versatile media room. The primary suite opens directly outdoors and includes a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite with a bath positioned towards the outlook and a large bifold window opening to native planting. Two of the additional bedrooms incorporate ladder access to small mezzanine bed or play spaces. An underground wine cellar maintains a naturally stable temperature and adds another unexpected detail to the home. The residence also includes an internal-access four-car garage and workshop, providing substantial practical space without compromising the architectural character of the home. Outside, the property is equally well resolved. Established native planting, ornamental trees and mature pines give the grounds a strong sense of privacy and maturity. Two small ponds, open lawn and formed tracks through the paddocks and gullies encourage exploration of the wider property. A fenced, floodlit AstroTurf tennis court adds another recreational dimension. For buyers with boats, campervans or recreational equipment, the additional shedding is a significant asset. The implement shed and separate boat shed provide approximately 100m² of additional storage, with the boat shed incorporating power, water, a concrete floor and a built-in fish-filleting station with stainless-steel sink. Resource consent was granted in July 2026 to create two separate titles: approximately 4.81 hectares containing the existing residence and amenities, and approximately 2.726 hectares containing a potential building site. The proposed site sits nearby but separately from the main residence, creating flexibility for extended family to build close by while retaining privacy. Alternatively, a future owner could complete the subdivision and retain or sell the separate section. The Hearth combines architectural character, natural materials, privacy, recreational amenity and future flexibility in a distinctive Hawke’s Bay setting. Key Features * Approximately 409m² architect-designed residence * Approximately 7.5681 hectares in one title * Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, separate office and media room * Internal-access four-car garage and workshop * Approximately 100m² of additional implement and boat shedding * Floodlit, fully fenced AstroTurf tennis court * Resource consent granted for subdivision into approximately 4.81ha and 2.726ha titles * Two 25,000L water tanks supplied from a communal bore system * Programmable irrigation servicing lawns and gardens * Comprehensive heating including two heat pumps, wetback wood burner, radiators and zoned underfloor heating * Underground wine cellar with naturally stable temperature * Views towards the Ruahine and Kaweka ranges, Napier Hill and glimpses of the Pacific Ocean A comprehensive property information pack including LIM, title, floorplans and building report are available.

Welcome to Wakarara Country Estate, an extraordinary homestead set against the dramatic backdrop of the Ruahine Ranges, representing the pinnacle of refined country living in Hawke’s Bay.

It offers buyers a rare opportunity to secure a landmark property in one of New Zealand’s most picturesque regions.

You don't really arrive at Glen Aros when you turn through the gate.  The property reveals itself slowly.  First comes the long drive beneath established trees. Then glimpses of garden. And finally the 1914 Albert Garnett-designed homestead appears - not sitting on newly landscaped grounds, but within a landscape that has been growing around it for more than a century.  That distinction matters. Trees of this scale cannot simply be ordered. Gardens like these cannot be hurried. And the feeling of an established Hawke's Bay country property that has evolved over generations is increasingly difficult to reproduce. Originally laid out by celebrated landscape designer Alfred Buxton, the grounds are therefore not landscaping around Glen Aros.  They are part of Glen Aros.  Across 10.23 hectares, the property brings together the 417m² main homestead, a substantial four-bedroom cottage, pool house and garaging complex and comprehensive equestrian facilities. In total there are approximately 965m² of buildings, but the numbers only begin to explain the place.  Inside the homestead, five bedroom suites allow guests and family a degree of independence rarely found in houses of this era. The timber-lined dining room still carries a sense of occasion, while the formal lounge and open fire remind you that country houses were once designed for rooms to have distinct purposes.  The contemporary kitchen and butler's pantry introduce a more relaxed centre to everyday life. And Glen Aros changes with the season.  A summer afternoon might barely involve the main house at all - swimming, lunch beside the pool, a game of billiards in the pool house, children disappearing into the gardens or horses being worked in the arena.  In winter, life naturally contracts towards the homestead: fires, timber, long dinners and rooms designed to feel sheltered.  The pool environment is a destination in itself. Waterfalls, established planting and a built-in spa surround the swimming pool, while the approximately 320m² pool house and garaging complex includes a billiard lounge, extensive vehicle and equipment space and further flexibility for a gym, studio or office.  Then there is the cottage.  Positioned privately with its own access, the approximately 228m² four-bedroom, four-bathroom residence allows each level to operate independently. Extended family could live here. Guests could stay for weeks rather than weekends. A caretaker or staff member could have their own home. Or it could simply provide the luxury of accommodation that is genuinely separate.  For equestrian owners, stables, tack and feed rooms, fenced grazing and an all-weather arena mean the infrastructure is already here.  Nine bedrooms, eleven bathrooms and six living spaces describe Glen Aros mathematically.  They don't really explain it. What makes this property unusual is not any single feature, but the fact that so many elements - architecture, gardens, accommodation, recreation and equestrian facilities - have accumulated in one place over generations.  Glen Aros isn't a country lifestyle waiting to be created.  It is already here.  Key features:  • 10.23 hectares / approximately 25 acres  • Albert Garnett-designed homestead dating from 1914  • Alfred Buxton-designed established grounds  • Approximately 417m² main homestead  • Five bedroom suites in the homestead  • Approximately 228m² separate four-bedroom, four-bathroom cottage  • Approximately 320m² pool house and garaging complex  • Approximately 965m² total building area  • Pool, built-in spa and landscaped pool precinct  • Billiard lounge  • Extensive garaging and utility space  • Stables, tack and feed rooms  • All-weather equestrian arena  • Fenced grazing paddocks  • Multiple living and entertaining spaces  • Approximately 20-25 minutes from Havelock North and Hastings  Information pack available by entering this link into your browser: https://bit.ly/GlenArosPIP  Method of Sale | By Negotiation

Some homes are shaped by their outlook. This one is designed around it. Set in Tauroa Valley, one of Havelock North’s most desirable lifestyle settings, this Simon Clarkson-designed residence has been created to make the most of its position, privacy and long views across the landscape. Afternoon light moves through the living spaces, catching the lawn, garden and outlook beyond. From here, the view reaches across Havelock North to the ranges, with Napier Hill in the distance and a glimpse of the Pacific Ocean. Low rooflines and generous expanses of glass give the home a strong connection to its surroundings, with the landscape becoming part of the experience from every living space. There is a lovely contrast between the broad outlook from the main living areas and the more sheltered feel of the pool. Surrounded by established planting and tucked comfortably into the architecture, it becomes a natural place to spend a summer afternoon. Inside, three separate living spaces provide flexibility without feeling disconnected, offering places to gather, retreat, work or simply sit with the sun and the view. Four bedrooms, a separate office and two bathrooms provide generous accommodation, while four-car garaging adds a level of practicality that is increasingly difficult to find. Beyond the property itself, Tauroa Valley is known for its natural setting. More than 700 native trees and plants have been established throughout the area, creating an environment rich in flora and fauna and attracting native birdlife. Despite the sense of privacy and separation, Havelock North Village is only a few minutes away by car, with its cafés, restaurants, boutiques and everyday amenities close at hand. The walking and mountain biking trails of Te Mata Peak are just a short walk from home. It is a compelling combination of architecture, outlook and lifestyle - private, spacious and connected to one of Hawke’s Bay’s most desirable locations. Not simply a home defined by what it has, but by the things you would get to notice every day.

Positioned on the waterfront of stunning Mahanga beach this is an opportunity to secure your place amongst some of the Peninsula’s best. With an expansive stretch of golden sand just across the road and sweeping views across the Pacific, this is coastal living in a location that is increasingly hard to find. Downstairs, the light filled kitchen and dining area provides an easy, practical hub for family meals and entertaining. Upstairs, the lounge takes full advantage of the ocean outlook, creating a relaxed space to put your feet up and watch the ever changing Pacific beyond. Three bedrooms provide plenty of room for family, friends and summer guests, while a woodburner keeps the home warm and comfortable through the cooler months. Outside, the established grounds and mature Pohutukawa trees create exactly the setting you imagine a classic kiwi bach should have. The large level section has plenty of room for tents, boats, beach games and extra guests, with the trees providing welcome shade on long summer days. A shed offers useful storage for all the coastal essentials, while the non potable water supply is ideal for washing down boats, boards and sandy feet. Mahanga is one of those special places where days naturally revolve around the sea. Swim, surf, cast a line or simply cross the road and spend the day on the beach before settling in for an evening under the stars. With its waterfront position, generous section and sought after Mahanga address, this is an opportunity to invest in an exceptional piece of the Peninsula. The owners are ready to see it sold, creating an opportunity for the next family to secure their place by the sea and enjoy it for generations to come.
