Driving out to meet with my vendors of Blackburn Road finds me smiling the whole way. The scenery is just spectacular. Central Hawkes Bay is well known for its vista and this drive is a prime example of why one chooses to live rurally, here in Central Hawkes Bay. Ongaonga is renowned for its historic village, elegant Edwardian buildings, nineteenth century cottages, fantastic primary school and all positioned on the gentle foothills of the Ruahine Ranges. Blackburn Road is a gentle drive from this iconic village and here you will find lifestyle living at its best. Divided into two paddocks and well setup for plenty of family pets. An abundance of fruit trees including mandarin, orange, apples, apricot, pear, plum, peach, nectarine, fig, raspberries and feijoas. Established trees and stunning rural views across the valley and into the ranges are what you can expect to see from this magical spot. A spacious country home awaits you that has been recently recarpeted, new drapes and some fresh paint work and readily awaiting a new family. A freestanding wood-burner with wetback will keep you toasty warm whilst looking out onto the snow- capped ranges. Large barn like garaging gives you a smorgasbord of options when it comes to garaging, plenty of room for the boat or horse float. This property is a must see, the drive out is an experience on its own. See you there!
