A lifestyle haven with home and income potential that is only five minutes from Havelock North in Hawke’s Bay is available for purchase and offers buyers the chance to acquire a sprawling property with long-term upside.
149 Mount Erin Road, Havelock North provides the perfect blend of space and comfort with two modern dwellings located on approximately 7.96ha of land.
Set well back from the road, the main residence is an expansive six-bedroom and three-bathroom home that is spread over two levels.
Adjacent to the main home is a self-contained studio featuring a bedroom, bathroom, and potential for a kitchenette. This stand-alone building provides considerable accommodation options, while a two-bay garage and workshop add practicality.

A three-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage that is currently tenanted sits at the front of the landholding, while an established orchard spanning approximately 2ha adds passive income through an existing lease.
The beautifully landscaped grounds include mature trees, an inground swimming pool, and a floodlit astroturf tennis court. For equestrian enthusiasts, the remaining land is well suited for grazing ponies or stock, complemented by a double-stall stable and tack room.
Hadley Brown and Louise Wake of Colliers Hawke’s Bay have been exclusively appointed to market the property for sale via negotiation (plus GST if any).
The main home, accessed via a picturesque tree-lined driveway that is flanked by native reed gardens, has 315sq m of floor area. The property was converted from the original stables to a dwelling in the early 1980s with further renovations undertaken in 2018 and 2022. The outside studio was fully renovated in 2023.
The front cottage measures 113sq m and was built just over 10 years ago. It is currently rented for $680 per week.
Brown, Director of Rural at Colliers Hawke’s Bay, says this is a premium lifestyle offering that is exceptionally presented and has been cared for incredibly well.
“This is an outstanding purchasing opportunity that has been carefully maintained with continued investment across the years. With multiple income streams this is a property that warrants serious consideration,” Brown says.
“The supporting orchard adds further income for the new owner and this property has room for everyone. With extensive space for home office setups there is the opportunity to live and work remotely and make the most of the surrounding area.”
Hawke’s Bay is known for its award-winning wine region as well as a warm and temperate climate that offers the perfect opportunity for residents and visitors to explore the area’s beaches.
It has a vibrant arts and culture scene with the Napier Art Deco Festival held annually in February. The natural beauty of Hawke’s Bay also makes outdoor pursuits such as hiking and biking popular, while there’s a number of world-class golf courses on hand.
Wake, Rural Sales Advisor at Colliers Hawke’s Bay, says the subject property benefits from being its own private estate yet only minutes from amenities.
“With Havelock North only five minutes away and Hastings reachable in 10 minutes, residents don’t have to travel far for life’s essentials yet when you are at this property you feel completely removed from the hustle and bustle of everyday life,” Wake says.
“Set in stunning surrounds, this is a lifestyle property that is not to be missed.”
