luxury real estate for sale Ongaonga, New Zealand

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

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. For buyers looking for an easy transition, there is also the option to purchase the home fully furnished, creating the opportunity for a genuinely turn-key move if required. 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

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.

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.

French linen curtains frame the interiors, enhancing the home’s calm, elegant aesthetic. Accommodation is equally impressive. Downstairs the master suite is a true retreat, complete with walk-in dresser, beautifully finished en-suite, LED mirrors and dual basins. Wool carpets and quality overlays throughout add softness and sophistication, while a separate powder room ensures guests are well catered for. Upstairs, the home continues to surprise with a large walk-in storage room, ducted heating and cooling, a family bathroom with separate toilet, and three further double bedrooms each with generous wardrobes.

The bedroom wing offers the master suite with its own private setting and doors that open to the outdoors, a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite. Two further double bedrooms sit alongside the family bathroom and separate WC. Practicality has been considered without interrupting the flow of the home. The double integral garage incorporates the laundry, while a separate studio creates a space with a completely different purpose, whether used for work, creative pursuits or simply somewhere to escape to. Beyond the home, the grounds have an easy, established feel, with enough space to enjoy the privacy and freedom of a lifestyle setting without demanding constant attention. Raised vegetable gardens, avocado, fig and feijoa trees are already woven into the garden, bringing a productive element to the landscape and adding to the sense that this is a property designed to be lived in and enjoyed. Offering a balance of comfort, privacy and connection to its surroundings, this is a property where the pace of life feels just that little bit different.

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.

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.
