Top-tier lifestyle property in Hawke’s Bay
One of Hawke’s Bay’s most stunning lifestyle properties is for sale, offering the opportunity to secure a premier residence that can be used for luxury accommodation or a private homestead.
1 Breckenridge Lane, Puketapu, is known as Breckenridge Lodge and currently operates as internationally renowned boutique accommodation that has bookings well into next year.
The property has 630sq m of total floor area spread across eight bedrooms, seven bathrooms, an office, wine cellar, modern kitchen with a butler’s pantry, and multiple lounge and dining areas.
Sitting prominently on a 1.53ha site, the Rural zoned property enjoys picture-perfect views across a neighbouring vineyard.
Delightful grounds complement the lodge, which includes owner’s accommodation, with meandering woodland paths, extensive plantings, organic kitchen garden, mature fruit trees, an outdoor entertaining area with impressively large pizza oven, lawns, paddocks for a few sheep, a chicken run, kids’ cabin and secret spaces in which to relax and enjoy the ambience.
Nestled in the Hawke’s Bay wine country, the property is approximately 15 minutes drive to Napier, Hastings, Hawke’s Bay Airport and more than 30 cellar doors.
Gary Brooks and Hamish Goodwin of Colliers Hawke’s Bay are marketing the property, which has an asking price of $3.9 million plus GST, if any.
Built in 2003, the property has been expertly constructed and the gardens have been designed to be low maintenance. There is an extensive list of chattels included alongside triple garaging and external parking.
Brooks says exquisite lifestyle properties such as this are rarely seen on the open market.
“This is a purchasing opportunity that may be a once-in-a-lifetime offering given properties of this nature are so tightly held.
Goodwin says its reputation is incredibly strong among discerning travellers who choose to stay there.
“The property offers excellent financial returns and is featured on national and international travel websites. With a fivestar Tripadvisor rating it boasts an outstanding track record of providing exceptional accommodation for guests.
“With international travel returning to full swing following the loosening of border restrictions, demand for this property will only grow, and prospective purchasers will have the opportunity to build on the sterling tourism legacy that has been forged by the current owner.”
Alternatively, there is the option to maintain the property as a private residence.
