Property DESCRIPTION
“ALDERWOOD” – Wakarara Rd, Onga Onga, Central Hawkes Bay, NEW ZEALAND
Tucked away in one of the most picturesque corners of Central Hawke’s Bay, at the foot of the Ruahine Ranges, you will discover a property offering potential for a family seeking a lifestyle change with income.
This 3.7ha property has been planted in both tree crops for income, and species to attract the native bird life. The property has become an ornithologist’s paradise with visits by native falcons, resident bellbirds that have bred three times in the garden last season, tuis and other native species.
The 1000 organic specialist fruit trees include 620, 3-5 year old table olives in near production and a mix of 700 other fruit and nut trees including Chinese quince, cherries, plums, peaches, gooseberries, figs and pine nuts. The perfect growing conditions in the area are attributed to the soils (largely loess with some clay – free draining on the surface, with water retentive subsoils) and high rainfall (1100mm average) coupled with the absence of autumn frosts.
A minimal care management system for the orchard has been worked out over seven years of field trials.
The 220m2, four bedroom villa was built between 1920-1930 of solid native timber construction, with weatherboard exterior cladding and corrugated iron roof. In 1993 alterations included a new roof, a bedroom addition and an extension to the veranda.
Renovators will delight in the possibilities and potential that this home has to offer. The front entrance leads into a hallway with attractive wood panelling which also features in the main living area. There are three double bedrooms off the hallway that leads into the main living area. The wood panelled living room has windows facing east giving glimpses of the view down a totara clad valley. There is a wood burner between the windows. One of the bedrooms/office is accessed from this living area.
This main living room leads into a den/dining area positioned next to the kitchen where there are French doors onto a small verandah also facing east and enjoying the morning sun.
There is a bathroom at the end of the hall and a second toilet off the kitchen.
The laundry is in an outbuilding just beyond the kitchen.
A wrap around deck provides a sunny spot on which to entertain and enjoy the stunning views of the valley beyond.
Outbuildings on the property include an old woolshed, stables, two bay implement shed and garaging for three cars.
