526 River Road, Otane, Central Hawkes Bay, Hawkes Bay

Privately positioned above the picturesque Tukituki River, this exceptional 3.9-hectare property offers a rare opportunity to secure riverfront land with direct water access, extensive shedding, and an elegant, generously proportioned architecturally designed home. The Tukituki River—one of Hawke’s Bay’s most treasured waterways— offers year-round recreation including trout fishing, swimming, kayaking, or simply soaking in the ever-changing river outlook. Elevated to capture sweeping rural and river vistas, the home is thoughtfully arranged across three levels, creating a sense of space, light, and connection to its natural surroundings. The main living level is both welcoming and refined, featuring expansive open-plan kitchen, dining, and family living areas. These spaces flow seamlessly into a formal lounge and dining room, extending outdoors to a sun-soaked entertaining patio overlooking the river and surrounding landscape. Four generous bedrooms plus a dedicated office, easily adaptable to a fifth bedroom if required. Occupying the upper level, the master suite is a true private retreat, complete with ensuite and direct access to a viewing deck that commands uninterrupted views across the Tukituki River. Throughout the home, rich Jarrah timber flooring, wall panelling, custom shelving, and a striking staircase showcase warmth, texture, and enduring craftsmanship. Year-round comfort is assured with two heat pumps and a Contessa log fire with wetback, complemented by double glazing on the eastern side overlooking the river. Beyond the residence, the property is exceptionally well equipped with extensive infrastructure and shedding – great for the pony and other livestock.

Features include a large workshop and storage shed with office and amenities, stables, a chiller room, two implement sheds, cattle yards, and bore water supply. Established gardens, fruit trees, and vegetable beds further enhance the lifestyle offering. A truly rare opportunity to secure prized river frontage, a substantial and beautifully appointed home, and significant infrastructure. Plus GST (If any)
