Magnificent views of vineyards and wineries in the prestigious Gimblett Gravels district of Hawke’s Bay are now available with the release of 14 elevated lifestyle sections in the highly sought-after Limestone Hills development. Situated along the top ridge of Roy’s Hill, just over 10 minutes west of Havelock North, these sections represent the first two stages of a larger development, offering residents a unique opportunity to build a dream home surrounded by natural beauty.
Bayleys agent Tim Wynne-Lewis highlights that all 14 sections have been titled and come with electricity and internet connections to the gate, plus a pre-prepared building platform for construction. The development is accessed through a secure electric gate, and the road leading up to the summit is a 2.5 km sealed road, offering easy access to the sites, which are nestled within beautifully established planting.
“The views from all the sections are spectacular,” says Wynne-Lewis. “They overlook a patchwork of vineyards, extending all the way to Te Mata Peak and Havelock North, with some upper-level sections providing panoramic, 360-degree views of the coastline and Norfolk pines along Marine Parade in Napier.”
Each section, ranging from 2750 to 3625 square metres, has been carefully positioned to ensure maximum privacy and is accessible via individual entrances. Covenants are in place to maintain the development’s high standards, restricting unsuitable building types such as transportable homes, ensuring long-term value for buyers.
Vendor Gavin Yortt, who purchased the land in 1999, envisioned the site as a farm park with lifestyle properties that would capture the area’s exceptional views. Sitting at about 130 metres above sea level, the sections boast views of farmland, the sea, river, and surrounding ranges. Extensive planning has gone into the design to ensure that each property offers privacy and unobstructed views.
Further development is planned, with three more stages expected to bring the total number of sections to 35. The development’s proximity to Havelock North, Hastings, and Napier makes it an attractive option for those seeking both a peaceful lifestyle and easy access to urban conveniences.
Limestone Hills is just 20 minutes from Napier Airport and a short drive from the renowned Hastings Golf Club. For those drawn to the region’s beaches, wineries, and outdoor activities, this premium location offers a lifestyle that combines tranquility with convenience.
