1280 Howard Street, Parkvale

If you’re looking for serious storage, space to spread out, and a prime location just minutes from both Havelock North and Hastings—this property is a must-see. Our vendors are motivated and ready to move forward so bring all offers. Perfectly suited for those with multiple vehicles, trucks, machinery, or simply a need for excellent storage, this property delivers in spades. The shedding is impressive—an 8.5m x 12.4m high-stud space with an adjoining ‘man cave’ and mezzanine level, ideal for hobbyists or tradies. To the rear, a substantial 3-bay lean-to (6.4m x 12.4m) provides even more covered space for overflow vehicles, equipment, or general storage. The attached double garage is oversized at approximately 7m x 7.5m, offering yet more flexibility. Set amongst sprawling grounds on approximately 3 ha (more or less), the home itself is cleverly designed for modern rural living and enjoys the benefit of a recent kitchen refurbishment. It offers three spacious bedrooms plus an office/utility room—perfect as a work-from-home setup, second lounge, or even a fourth bedroom depending on your needs. Two well-appointed bathrooms feature underfloor heating, and the seamless indoor/outdoor flow extends to covered patios and landscaped gardens—ideal for entertaining. Practical comfort is assured with a log fire (complete with wetback), multiple heat pumps, and a 22-panel solar system (22 x 400W) that powers the house, shed, and the in-ground, saltwater pool with heat pump. Any surplus energy is smartly fed back to the grid. The land is largely planted in stone fruit and includes an irrigation consent for the orchard plus an existing lease is in place. Water supply can be drawn either from the bore or via mains from St Georges Road, offering flexibility and peace of mind. All of this is positioned on the doorstep of both Hastings and Havelock North, with stunning views out toward Te Mata Peak. This is the ultimate Hawke’s Bay lifestyle package for those who want space, functionality, and convenience without compromise....
