1605 Korokipo Road, State Highway 50, Fernhill, Hastings, Hawke's Bay

Set amidst peaceful orchards, this distinctive rural property offers a rare opportunity - two beautifully restored dwellings on one private title, combining rural tranquility with modern comfort. Versatile and thoughtfully designed, it’s ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or a valuable home-and-income arrangement.

Spanning approximately 172 sq m, the main home features a striking monopitch architectural design clad in corrugated iron. High windows and raked timber ceilings create a light-filled interior, while a covered walkway and paved courtyard link seamlessly to landscaped gardens - perfect for entertaining or relaxation. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area forms the heart of the home, complete with a freestanding woodburner for cosy winter nights. Three generous bedrooms include a master suite with tiled en-suite, while the family bathroom sits privately in the opposite wing. An adjoining studio, accessed from the deck, offers flexible use as a creative retreat or guest space. Additional features include double glazing, a separate laundry, and a double garage.

The fully restored second home (144 sq m more or less) provides a stylish and comfortable living environment. It includes three bedrooms, a spacious family bathroom, and a galley kitchen with scullery and gas hob opening to a sunlit dining and lounge area with a window seat. Timber ceilings, a freestanding woodburner, and a double integral garage with second toilet enhance everyday functionality. With its own driveway and potential separate entrance, this home offers privacy and independence, ideal for extended family or rental income.

Set well back from the road, the property enjoys mature landscaping, excellent shedding, and a serene rural backdrop. Outbuildings include a four-bay high-stud implement shed, workshop, and adjoining studio. Services feature a bore water supply and new septic system for peace of mind.

Located within easy reach of both Taradale and Hastings, this unique property offers the best of both worlds - rural space and town convenience. Two fully restored homes, one exceptional opportunity.
