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.

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.

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.

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.

Scale to gather. Space to retreat.  There are houses designed around rooms, and houses designed around the way people actually live.  At 20 Aintree Road, breakfast can be happening in one part of the house while somebody works behind a closed office door, teenagers disappear to another living room and weekend guests have somewhere that feels properly their own.  Later, everyone finds their way back together - around the kitchen, outside on the terrace or beside the pool.  That ease is probably the thing you notice least on a floor plan, yet it is one of this home's greatest strengths. Set privately across 1.66 hectares in an established Havelock North lifestyle location, The Enclave offers approximately 477m² of living with the scale for a full house without requiring everyone to live on top of one another. Four bedrooms, four bathrooms, three living spaces and a separate office give different generations, guests and family members genuine separation when they want it.  Designed by Fat Parrot Architecture and built by Trevor Mossman, the predominantly concrete-block home has a reassuring solidity to it. Over the past twelve months it has also undergone a substantial programme of improvements, bringing a more current finish and feel while retaining the scale and substance that made the house compelling in the first place.  New carpet and floor coverings, refreshed bathrooms, updated lighting, interior and exterior paint, new curtains and blinds and refreshed aluminium joinery have collectively changed the way the home presents and feels.  Outside, the property becomes its own private environment.  Established planting surrounds terraces, lawns, the saltwater infinity pool and spa. There is room for children, dogs, visitors and long lunches without feeling overlooked or contained. The pool is an obvious attraction in summer, but its greater value is as part of a property where much of family life can happen at home.  Technology and infrastructure are equally well resolved, including automated irrigation, Starlink internet, Control4 audio, security systems, multiple water supplies with filtration, air conditioning, heat pumps and gas fires.  The Enclave isn't simply a large house on a lifestyle block.  Its luxury is having space to be together - and space not to be.  Key features  • Approximately 477m² residence on 1.66 hectares  • Four bedrooms and four bathrooms, including two ensuites  • Three living spaces providing excellent separation  • Separate office  • Designed by Fat Parrot Architecture and built by Trevor Mossman  • Predominantly concrete-block construction with solid plaster finish  • Significant interior and exterior improvements completed over the past twelve months  • Generous garaging and storage  • Saltwater infinity pool and spa  • Automated irrigation  • Multiple water supplies with filtration  • Starlink internet  • Control4 audio and smart security  • Heating and cooling throughout  A comprehensive property information pack is available, including the LIM, building report, Certificate of Title and floor plans is available by copying this link into your browser - https://bit.ly/TheEnclave20AintreeRoad  Method of Sale: By Negotiation

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.
