20 Ballantyne Road, Poraiti, Napier, Hawke's Bay

Just ten minutes from town, this special spot in Poraiti feels like a world of its own. Sitting proudly on a sunny, north-facing rise, it's a place where you can truly unwind, whether you're entertaining by the pool or soaking up the ever-changing estuary views from the deck with a morning coffee or evening wine.

Downstairs, the second living area is big, bright, and opens right out to the pool through bi-fold doors, perfect for summer get-togethers, movie nights, or turning into whatever suits your lifestyle best. Home cinema, creative space, kids' zone, pool room? you decide.

Upstairs, the classic Lockwood charm really shines. High timber ceilings, beautiful warm tones, and a stunning stone fireplace give the home so much heart. And those views, from Ahuriri right out to Mahia, are the kind you'll never tire of.

With four bedrooms, three of them king-sized, there's room for everyone. The master is a true haven with its own ensuite and walk-through wardrobe, a quiet spot to retreat at the end of the day.

Set on just over 1.5 hectares, the land has been thoughtfully planted with birch, oaks and gums, alive with native birdsong and ever-changing beauty through the seasons. Whether it's horses, a couple of sheep, or space for the kids to roam. There's even a tack shed and lunging yard already set up for those with horses.

Down in the bottom paddock, the double shed and huge greenhouse, with 3-phase power and its own separate driveway, open up loads of extra possibilities, ideal for big projects, a home business, or just having the ultimate workspace. It's peaceful, it's private, and it's packed with potential, a lifestyle you'll fall in love with. Viewing is by private appointment only, give Tania a call to come and see it for yourself.
