180 Ngaruru Road, Ongaonga, Central Hawkes Bay

Perfectly suited for an equestrian venture, calf-rearing, a contracting business, or as an exceptional lifestyle property for families seeking space and privacy, this remarkable holding truly stands apart. Opportunities like this are seldom available - complete with its own aircraft hangar and private 450m airstrip. Originally built in 1993 by the previous owners, the home sits within beautifully established, park-like surrounds. The current owners have since added the neighbouring 5.1462ha title, bringing the total landholding to an impressive 10.9787ha. Positioned on the historic site of a former grand homestead, the residence is approached via a welcoming driveway flanked by mature grounds. The original homestead steps remain as a striking reminder of the property’s heritage, set amongst sweeping lawns and landscaped gardens. The home and outdoor living areas are thoughtfully orientated to capture commanding views of the Ruahine Ranges and all day sun. Recently enhanced with new carpet throughout, new flooring in the kitchen and dining area, and a new solar system installed, this two storey residence blends charm and comfort. The spacious open plan kitchen, living, and dining area sits beneath a soaring gable ceiling, creating an inviting sense of openness. Double doors connect seamlessly to the patio, enhancing the home’s indoor - outdoor flow. Accommodation includes four double bedrooms, three bathrooms, a dedicated office with outdoor access, and a separate laundry. Internal access from the generous double garage leads directly into the home, while the large fourth bedroom and accompanying bathroom are privately positioned upstairs - ideal for guests, teens, or extended family. Beyond the bird-proof, steel-girder aircraft hangar engineered for safe, effortless solo access to the airstrip, the property features a highly versatile four bay workshop. Currently fitted out as a woodworking space and complete with a concrete floor, it offers endless potential for creative pursuits, rural projects, or secure storage. Water is supplied via a private 30m bore. Conveniently located at 180 Ngaruru Road, just 2.7km from the charming and historic village of Ongaonga, 19km from Waipukurau, and 60km from Hastings, this property delivers an enviable blend of privacy and accessibility. With its warm atmosphere, thoughtful design, and truly unique features.
