Villa perfection on 1.17ha
Possibly one of the most beautifully preserved villas I've had the privilege of marketing - Maple Grove as it's fondly known, does not disappoint. Beautifully crafted in 1911 of the finest native timbers and painstakingly maintained, Maple Grove stands as a testament to the timeless elegance of its early century era. Throughout, exquisite classical features are showcased including soaring timber ceilings and fabulous fire surrounds while sympathetic enhancements gracefully bring it up to contemporary standards with a modern yet in keeping kitchen, four large bedrooms, two full bathrooms, two wood-burners, three heat pumps, gas hot water, internal sprinkler system - there's even authentic Axminster carpet underfoot! In summer the graceful rooms including formal and family living and dining are light and airy, opening out to the wrap around rolled roof style verandas and numerous outdoor entertaining areas including a quaint bricked courtyard, yet being intimate and warm in winter. Nestled within an established 1.17 hectare (2.9 acre) setting amongst pretty cottage style gardens with raised vegetable beds, beautiful mature trees and paddocks for a couple of ponies and pets. Water comes via a well for irrigation and troughs, a tank fed from the roof, and town supply. Outbuildings include double garage with automatic door, studio with heat pump, workshop and utility room. Over the years Maple Grove has been used as both a private home and a bed and breakfast venture where guests enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the picture-perfect setting while being convenient to all Central Hawke's Bay has to offer being located on the outskirts of Takapau, a small rural township 20km south of Waipukurau along State Highway 2 between Palmerston North and Napier/Hastings. State Highway 50 is an alternative route and easy commute to the rest of Hawke's Bay.
