Sweeping views, sophisticated living

Set among the rolling hills of Tauroa Valley, this substantial Havelock North residence enjoys breathtaking views of the surrounding ranges. On 9,990 sqm (more or less), it offers a compelling combination of space, privacy and convenience, with the changing landscape providing a beautiful backdrop to everyday life.

Designed for both entertaining and family living, the home centres on generous open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas that flow onto expansive decking. Large double-glazed windows frame the outlook, while the northerly aspect brings natural light into the home. A wood burner and underfloor heating throughout the whole house add warmth and ambience in the cooler months, and a separate media and living room offers space for movie nights, quiet time or guests. The kitchen combines quality benchtops and appliances with excellent storage and a well-appointed scullery.

The accommodation is arranged in separate wings, giving family members and guests room to retreat. The main bedroom has a cedar wall, an ensuite and a walk-through wardrobe. The additional bedrooms are generously sized and enjoy views of the landscape, while the bathrooms are finished to a high standard. A dedicated office provides a practical place to work from home.

Outside, three-car garaging and an automatically irrigated lawn add everyday convenience. Established landscaping, a home orchard with mature fruit trees and a stone-lined fish pond lend the grounds a welcoming, natural character. The expansive deck connects the central living area with the two other wings, creating a wonderful setting for entertaining family and friends while taking in the views.

With its striking outlook, substantial landholding and thoughtfully designed home, 40 Gummer Road offers a rare opportunity to enjoy premium spacious contemporary living within easy reach of Havelock North village.

Our estimate$3,350,000

We start from the council's rating valuation, move it by how sales in the area have moved since against their own council values, then by how properties like this one, nearby sales have done against the same arithmetic. Each step is an average of real sales. Tested every month against sales we had not seen: half land within about 6% of our estimate, and about 8 in 10 within the range. This is an automated estimate, not a registered valuation.

Unclaimed
Nobody is tracking this property yet

If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.

Free. Takes about a minute.

We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.

What claiming gets you
1One live recordCouncil valuation, title details and registered interests, kept current rather than gathered again every time you need them.
2Your lending in the pictureAdd what you owe, or connect the bank, and the equity and LVR stop being a calculation you redo by hand.
3Providers compete for itPut the mortgage, the insurance and the power out to people who want the business — on your terms, when you ask.
4Everything else you ownOne search finds other titles in your name and in companies you are a director of.

What could you build here?

See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
