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. The property’s location was chosen for the raised plateau that the home is sited on, with panoramic views across the hinterland of Hawke’s Bay. The rural landscape is a combination of viticulture, horticulture and rolling pastureland on the short commute from Hastings or Napier. It offers buyers a rare opportunity to secure a landmark property in one of New Zealand’s most picturesque regions. Wakarara is crafted with materials sourced from around the globe, together the homestead, secondary accommodation and ancillary buildings span over 2,286 sq m and are set within approximately 24.7 hectares. The property blends timeless architectural character with modern luxury, designed for multi-generational living or as a prestigious retreat. In consultation with Central Hawke’s Bay District Council, a proposed boundary and title realignment has been progressed, specifically designed to enable international purchasers to meet New Zealand regulations under the Active Investor Programme. A proposed plan reconfigures the residential holding to 4.285 ha (approx), positioning the estate comfortably below the 5 ha threshold while preserving the setting and integrity of the residence. Inside, soaring ceilings, generous proportions, and finely crafted detailing define the residence. From the grand entrance lobby French oak flooring leads you through beautifully lit hallways to explore the main home. Multiple living and entertaining spaces flow seamlessly, equally suited to intimate family gatherings or large-scale hosting. Vast joinery opens to manicured lawns, covered terraces and views beyond. Accommodation in the residence is provided for by six luxurious bedrooms and six bathrooms that provide privacy and comfort. Informal living is catered for with a family room adjoining the executive kitchen and scullery. Amenities elevate the estate to international standards: a heated indoor pool, gymnasium, sauna, snooker and media room, a defined large office or board room, and six-car garaging is provided for. Extensive service facilities and separate secondary accommodation that has two bedrooms and bathrooms allows for comfortable onsite management, or further guest accommodation. Beyond the home and lawns, landscaped gardens, and sweeping pastoral vistas unfold. Accessed via a sweeping driveway and surrounded by park-like grounds, the property retains the authenticity of a working rural estate, offering scope for equestrian, viticulture, or simply the enjoyment of wide-open space. The elevated position captures the essence of Hawke’s Bay - rolling hills, native bush, and endless skies. Near the village of Ongaonga, the estate enjoys proximity to the service town of Waipukurau. Hastings and Havelock North, with their renowned wineries, restaurants, and championship golf, are within easy reach, while Napier Airport provides seamless connections to Auckland, and international gateways. Wakarara is more than a residence, it is a lifestyle investment, a sanctuary, and a statement of prestige. Whether a private residence, a luxury retreat, or a base for exploring New Zealand’s celebrated landscapes, this estate delivers unparalleled scale, privacy, and opportunity.

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.

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 bought. Others are entrusted to their next custodian.  Woodcroft is one of the latter.  Designed and built in 1921 by James Walter Chapman-Taylor and recognised on the Havelock North Architectural Trail, it is an important example of New Zealand Arts and Crafts architecture - but its significance becomes much easier to understand once you're inside it.  More than a century later, Chapman-Taylor's hand is still everywhere. In timber that was shaped rather than manufactured. In small-framed windows capturing pieces of garden. In roughcast walls, intimate rooms and details that reveal themselves gradually rather than demanding attention. Those are things a new house cannot recreate.  What Woodcroft's most recent custodians have achieved is equally important: they have preserved those qualities without requiring the next owner to live as though it were still 1921.  Between 2021 and 2025, the property underwent an extensive programme of restoration, alteration and infrastructure renewal in partnership with Designgroup Stapleton Elliott. Roofs were replaced, insulation added, electrical and plumbing systems substantially renewed, windows and hardware restored, bathrooms refreshed and floor finishes replaced.  The intention was never to turn Woodcroft into a museum.  It was to allow it to live beautifully in its second century.  Nowhere is that more apparent than the kitchen pavilion. Here the house shifts naturally from historic architecture to contemporary family life - a generous kitchen and social space where cooking, conversation and people can occupy the same room, before spilling outside into the garden. Landscape architect Shannon Bray has approached the grounds with similar restraint. Rather than one manicured garden, the 1,386m² property unfolds through a collection of outdoor spaces, with established trees and planting providing the sense that the house has always belonged exactly where it sits.  The heated pool and cabana introduce a more relaxed contemporary layer, while the original brick service building has found an entirely new life as a self-contained studio apartment with independent access - useful for guests, family, older children or work.  The main house provides four bedrooms, including an ensuite, while the studio adds further accommodation, bringing the property to five bedrooms overall. Its position within walking distance of four Havelock North schools and close to the village makes what could easily have been simply an important architectural property an unusually workable family home. Woodcroft will not be for everyone; nor should it be.  It is for someone who notices the difference between something old and something enduring. Someone who values workmanship that cannot easily be repeated, but who also wants warmth, function and modern infrastructure.  For its next owner, Woodcroft offers something increasingly scarce: The opportunity to live comfortably in a piece of New Zealand architectural history - and become part of what happens to it next.  Key features  • Designed and built in 1921 by James Walter Chapman-Taylor  • Recognised on the Havelock North Architectural Trail  • Significant Arts and Crafts architecture  • Major restoration and renovation between 2021-2025  • Architectural work by Designgroup Stapleton Elliott  • Landscape design by Shannon Bray  • Approximately 238m² main residence  • Four bedrooms within the main residence  • Self-contained approximately 34m² studio apartment  • Contemporary designer kitchen  • Heated 5m x 5m low-salt swimming pool  • New cabana and poolside entertaining  • Roofs replaced across home, studio and garage  • Plumbing and electrical systems substantially renewed  • Approximately 33m² garage  • 1,386m² established site  • Walking distance to four Havelock North schools  For a full information pack including floor plans, title and the LIM, please place this link into your browser - https://bit.ly/Woodcroft51SimlaAve  For sale by Negotiation.
