Stunning designer home in Otane
That wonderful feeling of satisfaction when you find a property that has everything you want, and so much more! The design, the quality, the finish, the sun, the space and, of course, the location! This stunning designer home in one of Otane's most sought-after locations certainly delivers! Ever so stylish, incredibly warm and sunny, with a lovely semi-rural outlook to the front and an expansive 1,500m2 section to the rear, this is executive living done well! The spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living area opens through bi-fold doors to not one, but two outdoor entertaining areas, including one with an automatic retractable awning. The kitchen is an absolute showpiece, complete with a large island bench, quality appliances, generous pantry storage and feature LED lighting. There are three beautifully appointed bedrooms, including a luxurious master suite with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe complete with customised storage, while a second bathroom caters for family and guests. Built in 2021, so there's double glazing, full insulation, a heat pump and Pyroclassic woodburner. The laundry is incorporated into the double integral garage along with additional shedding out back for the garden tools and firewood. Outside, the beautifully planted grounds offers a wonderful sense of space, all within easy walking distance of amenities. Simply move in, put your feet up and enjoy!
We estimate it would sell for $736,000 as at 5 October 2026, in a range of $661,000 to $838,000.
How we worked this out
| Council valuation, Sept 2024 | $750,000 |
|---|---|
| Market movement in Central Hawke's Bay District since the council valuation | −1.9% |
| Apartments and houses in Central Hawke's Bay District | −0.1% |

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 and its own last sale 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.

Building consents
We hold no building consents for this property yet. The council may hold records we have not seen.
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.
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.
Zoning and hazards
What the council's published maps say about this land. A map is a model of a storm, not a record of one: a LIM or a flood report says more.
Reading the council's maps…
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.
