260 Brookvale Road, Havelock North, Hastings, Hawke's Bay

Commanding views across the ranges and tucked away quietly at the end of a tree-lined driveway, this cedar-clad sanctuary is a rare blend of architectural finesse, natural beauty, and soul-soothing privacy. This home has been curated with care - designed not just to impress, but to nurture how you live, feel, and connect.

Step through the bespoke cedar and glass pivot door and you’ll feel the calm immediately. Warm American oak floors lead through soft morning light into the east pavilion - and into the breathtaking heart of the home. Here, the open-plan living area flows effortlessly, anchored by a sleek Stovax wood burner. Walls of glass dissolve into a sun-drenched terrace where a sparkling pool and expansive outlooks create a seamless blend of inside and out. Whether hosting friends on a golden afternoon or enjoying a quiet wine under the stars, this is where you want to be. At the centre, the designer kitchen is a statement in understated luxury - natural stone, hidden scullery, and integrated laundry - every detail chosen for beauty and function. Cooking becomes an experience, gathering second nature.

Private spaces offer retreat and serenity. The primary suite, hidden behind a discreet door, is indulgent and light-filled, with a spa-like en-suite featuring double vanities, freestanding bath, and rich finishes. Across the home, the west wing provides self-contained serenity - a guest suite, lounge, private entrance and patio, ideal for extended family or creative work-from-home living. Upstairs, two generous bedrooms each have their own en-suite and timeless white shutters, while a flexible loft room completes the picture - studio, playroom, or sanctuary.

Set on flat, fertile land, the property supports connection and sustainability with raised gardens, a home orchard, and glasshouse, alongside reliable purified bore water, solar power, Tesla battery, a three-bay shed, a two-bay shed and wood storage. The land also offers excellent equestrian potential and is currently leased for cropping, sheep grazing, and hay baling – or the option to do this yourself.

More than a home - it’s a life well-lived. Mornings start with coffee on the deck, afternoons by the pool, evenings by the fire with a glass of your favourite beverage and the sound of silence. And though it feels a world away, the village is moments down the road - cafes, markets, schools and community close at hand.

Natural. Chic. Soulful. Designed with thought, lived in with ease, and ready to be yours.
