\u201cSales increased in October, with salespeople attributing the rise in recent months to a growing number of active buyers,\u201d Ryley said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe combination of new stock, warmer weather, increased competition, lower interest rates and renewed confidence in the improving economy has influenced market sentiment, suggesting that now is a great time to buy in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n
In this market, Bayleys is advertising a 106ha rural property with a 500sq m home that \u201ctakes your breath away\u201d for sale by tender at 562 Waimata Valley Rd, near Gisborne.<\/p>\n
Bayleys country specialist Simon Bousfield, in a statement, described the home as exceptional because of its scale and grandeur.<\/p>\n

The home was extensively renovated in 2017 by the current owners, a local family who operated their international business from Gisborne, according to Bayleys.<\/p>\n
\u201cStrong local supporters, the family have often shown their philanthropic heart by hosting large gatherings as part of the Eastland Rescue Helicopter charity prizes,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n
The property has a designer kitchen with \u201cluxurious proportions and high-end appliances\u201d, a 10-seater dining table and underfloor heating topped with marble tiles.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt really is a one-of-a-kind, lodge-like home, and an ideal base for lifestyle, luxury and leisure at home or further afield around the region,\u201d Bousfield said.<\/p>\n
There is also an open fire, full-sized billiard table and built-in bar in the living area, and the house comes equipped with a scullery and bespoke wine cellar filled with about 1200 bottles.<\/p>\n

Four bedrooms, two with ensuites, come with heat pumps and storage.<\/p>\n
There is a family bathroom for the other bedrooms, plus a powder room.<\/p>\n
The garage has space for six vehicles, and there are side rooms for hobbies and gym equipment.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a grass helipad beside the homestead for those who prefer to arrive in style,\u201d Bousfield said.<\/p>\n
The property has landscaped gardens and a water feature with its own stream. <\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the dining area, you can enjoy views across the gardens and the stream that meanders through them. It\u2019s a very peaceful setting to enjoy,\u201d Bousfield said.<\/p>\n
Bayleys said the land around the home had been set up with farming and recreation in mind.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe property has a deer-fenced perimeter and is home to a herd of fallow deer plus good numbers of red deer, which tend to live in the native bush areas on the property.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bousfield said it was \u201clikely to appeal more as a private, secure hunting block for the homeowner to enjoy themselves\u201d.<\/p>\n
There were also \u201c15-20ha of clear grazing country, fed with ample water for livestock\u201d and a \u201crustic\u201d nine-hole golf course established by the previous owner.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis really is much more than just a home. It\u2019s one of those legacy properties, more like a private sanctuary with its own hunting escape or a weekend retreat, or both,\u201d Bousfield said.<\/p>\n
Unless it is sold prior, tenders close for the property at 4pm on December 10, at Bayleys Real Estate Ltd, 10 Reads Quay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cSales increased in October, with salespeople attributing the rise in recent months to a growing number of active…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":154448,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[6203,138,102592,5906,2841,18478,2668,15144,12506,18126,60894,102591,4729,1345,5345,19720,225,111,139,69,90,814,102593,8213,381,3175,667,5427,810,1754],"class_list":["post-154447","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-6203","tag-business","tag-cellar","tag-count","tag-country","tag-course","tag-deer","tag-featuring","tag-gisborne","tag-golf","tag-grazing","tag-helipad","tag-highest","tag-home","tag-increase","tag-land","tag-market","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-on","tag-property","tag-proportional","tag-recorded","tag-region","tag-rural","tag-sales","tag-unique","tag-up","tag-wine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=154447"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154447\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/154448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=154447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=154447"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=154447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
