Historic Poukawa Homestead with Modern Luxury

A lifestyle property of this nature is a rare find, perfectly positioned just south of Hastings and Havelock North, offering an extraordinary blend of history, character, and modern comfort. Originally the main homestead of a sprawling 20,000-acre sheep station, this residence has retained the timeless charm and elegance of its heritage, with a classic verandah wrapping the northern and eastern facades, welcoming you into a home that is both gracious and inviting.

Renovations over time have thoughtfully enhanced the property while preserving its historic soul. The heart of the home, a country-style kitchen, features gas cooking and seamless flow into the open-plan living spaces. Three generously proportioned bedrooms offer privacy and comfort, complemented by a formal living room and an exquisite dining area, perfect for hosting intimate gatherings or grand entertaining.

Adding to its allure, this distinguished residence has been the home of the well-renowned artist and cookbook author Alexandra Tylee. Beyond her celebrated publications, Chris and Alex also owned and ran the iconic Pipi Cafe in Havelock North, a venue that became synonymous with refined yet relaxed hospitality. It was during her time here that she wrote and photographed her acclaimed book Pipi at Home, further embedding the property within a rich creative narrative. This cultural provenance elevates the home beyond architecture alone, positioning it as a residence with genuine legacy and artistic significance.

Set within meticulously cultivated gardens, the grounds exude charm and tranquility. Winding pathways invite leisurely strolls through mature plantings, creating moments of reflection and connection with the outdoors. Multiple outbuildings provide versatile space for storage, hobby pursuits, or vehicles, including a fully powered three-phase workshop. A beautifully positioned in-ground pool enhances the outdoor experience, offering both relaxation and entertainment in a private, sun-drenched setting.

This property is more than a home; it is a sanctuary where history meets modern living and lifestyle meets legacy. With its combination of heritage character, contemporary amenities, and unparalleled location, this Poukawa estate presents a truly exceptional opportunity for those seeking refined country living in absolute privacy and style.
