Historic 1888 Homestead

Standing proudly since 1888, 310 Hewitts Road is a remarkable piece of Manawatu history and a rare opportunity to become the next custodian of one of Linton's distinctive early homesteads. Originally built for Captain J.D.R. Hewitt, the property has endured for almost 140 years, a testament to the craftsmanship and quality of an era when homes were built with permanence in mind. Generous proportions, traditional character, wide covered verandahs and established grounds give this home a presence and history that simply cannot be recreated.

Set across approximately 1.47 hectares, the homestead offers around five bedrooms, three generous living areas and a dedicated office. Its scale provides exceptional flexibility for family living, entertaining, working from home and accommodating guests, while retaining the warmth and individuality of a historic country residence.

The expansive wrap-around covered deck creates a wonderful connection between the house and its gardens, providing sheltered outdoor living throughout the seasons. Mature trees and established gardens surround the homestead, creating privacy, shelter and the sense of permanence that only comes with a property that has evolved over generations.

At the heart of the garden stands a magnificent mature oak tree, a much-loved landmark of the property and a living part of its more recent history. Beneath its sweeping canopy, hundreds of couples have chosen to exchange their wedding vows, adding countless celebrations and memories to a place already rich with stories. Today, the oak remains a striking centrepiece of the grounds, offering shade, beauty and a remarkable sense of place.

Adding considerable versatility is the separate guest accommodation nestled privately within the grounds. Two complementary cabins create a peaceful retreat, with one providing the bedroom accommodation and the other a comfortable living area and kitchenette. A cedar hot tub completes the setting. Currently used for Airbnb accommodation, the cabins offer the option of continuing an income stream, providing independent accommodation for family and guests, or simply enjoying them as a private retreat.

The property also offers extensive garaging and workshop space. Of particular note is the substantial shed set on a concrete foundation, providing valuable, durable space for vehicles, equipment, storage, hobbies or projects.

Despite its peaceful country setting, Palmerston North Square is only around 15 minutes away, an increasingly rare combination of history, space, privacy and accessibility.

310 Hewitts Road is not a reproduction of a bygone era. It is the real thing: an authentic 1888 homestead that has stood the test of time and continues to offer an extraordinary place to live. After almost 140 years of history, its next chapter is ready to be written.
