1355 Railway Road South, Longlands, Hastings

This substantial, flat and highly productive landholding is superbly located in close proximity to the main centres, with access off both Railway Road and Te Aute Road and a total of 40.7ha. The main residence, originally constructed in the 1930s, has been extended and renovated over time. It now offers four bedrooms, including a master with ensuite, along with a family bathroom located on the first floor and accessed via a wide, sweeping feature staircase. The ground floor features a generous entrance foyer, a formal living room with open fire, a rimu-lined lounge with heat pump, and a separate dining room, also with an open fire. The kitchen is well-appointed with a large central workstation, double ovens with gas hob, double dish drawers, double fridges, and excellent storage. Additionally, there is a separate laundry, an extra toilet, and multiple storage rooms throughout the home.The grounds are attractively landscaped with expansive lawns, brick walls, mature trees, and a floodlit astro-turf tennis court. Further improvements include the former Hastings Croquet Club clubrooms, most recently utilised as a commercial kitchen, a garage with large workshop/implement shed, and a separate single garage with woodshed and additional storage. The land has been under a long term lease and has supported onion, squash, and maize cropping. A travelling lateral irrigator services a large portion of the property and is supported by a bore with irrigation consent. The soil quality and configuration make the property well-suited to a wide range of arable or horticultural uses. Given the scale, productivity, and strategic location, this property presents a compelling opportunity and is expected to generate strong interest.
