Elegant and Timeless

"Strathmore" originally known as Abbotsford Homestead, is a 1912 English Tudor home that exudes heritage, timeless character, and refined elegance throughout.

Tucked away in total privacy on over 5000 sq m (more or less) of exquisitely landscaped grounds, this two-storey residence is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a gracious piece of Hawke’s Bay history. Set back from the street and accessed via a secluded driveway, this stately home has been lovingly held within one family for decades. Steeped in heritage and echoing a bygone era, the home retains exquisite original features, rich timber panelling, intricate leadlight windows, and a grand staircase that evokes timeless charm. The striking formal foyer welcomes guests beneath an octagon ceiling, centred by an elegant chandelier that hints at the scale and refinement found throughout.

Upstairs, immense bedrooms bask in natural light and offer space rarely found in modern homes. Downstairs is the social heart of the home. The modern kitchen with adjoining scullery opens to a warm family room, perfect for everyday living. A formal dining room, once home to lively billiard matches offers endless possibilities for entertaining or family events. Solid timber bi-fold doors allow the living area to transform from cosy retreat to expansive space for special occasions.

Outdoors, the magic continues. The protected verandah provides covered outdoor living with room to install an outdoor kitchen. Entertain by the swimming pool, or relax in the shade while taking in a tennis match on your very own private court. Wander through lush gardens, where every corner offers a new surprise, be it a quiet nook, a hidden garden pond, or a perfectly placed bench under , mature trees.

There’s ample parking with carports, car shed, and an additional storage shed. Whether hosting garden parties or enjoying peaceful afternoons with the family, this property delivers lifestyle, legacy, and luxury in equal measure.

A true Waipawa treasure, private, grand, and brimming with elegance. Give Kathie Davies a call 027 325 6162 and make history yours today.
