235 Havelock Road, Akina, Hastings, Hawke's Bay

Situated between Havelock North and Hastings, this lovingly renovated character home sits on 1.184ha (more or less) of beautiful, park-like grounds, where mature trees, sweeping lawn and gardens offer space to climb, explore, or simply enjoy time outdoors. It’s a place suited to families, gardeners, hobbyists and retired farmers alike, anyone wanting room around them while staying conveniently close to town. Inside, the cottage-style kitchen brings warmth, flowing into the adjoining sitting and dining room where timber flooring adds to the home’s charm. There is an additional living room, four generous double bedrooms, along with a well-appointed family bathroom. A separate laundry adds everyday practicality, while two compliant wood burners and a heat pump keep the home comfortable through the year. A verandah wraps around two sides of the house, adorned by climbing roses and offering a peaceful spot to pause throughout the day. The gardens surrounding the home feature mature trees, open lawn and established planting, with an inground pool providing the perfect spot for long Hawke’s Bay summers. The orchard offers a generous mix of fruit and nuts, and a dedicated area of the property is planted in flowers grown for selling at the gate stall, an appealing venture for those with an entrepreneurial spark. A single garage with an adjoining office, plus a separate workshop area currently used for flower packing, provides practical space for hobbies, projects or home-based work. There may also be scope for a business opportunity (subject to obtaining the appropriate approval from the Hastings District Council), with the location offering excellent visibility and easy access. This property presents a rare opportunity to secure scale and lifestyle within easy reach of both Hastings and Havelock North.
