Rare position, Remarkable views

Once upon a time, when only a handful of homesteads graced this land, Northdown was lovingly built for the Kellands family, with the hill itself taking their name. It stands today as a timeless reminder of vision, craftsmanship and position - a home created to last generations.

The current owners have raised their family here, filling the rooms with laughter and creating decades of treasured memories framed by sweeping views and extraordinary space. Positioned on the rural-residential fringe, here town gently gives way to open paddocks, a setting that feels beautifully private, yet reassuringly connected. You enjoy the serenity of country living, just one minute from the town boundary.

Crafted from the very earth it stands upon, Northdown is a testament to enduring architecture and thoughtful design. Stepping inside, the grand main stairwell greets you, flanked by expansive rooms with soaring ceilings and beautiful proportions that speak of a bygone era. There are three generous living areas allowing families to spread out with ease, five-plus bedrooms, and three bathrooms providing flexibility for large or extended families.

The renovated kitchen offers modern functionality and generous space for family living and entertaining. In the adjoining room, once the original kitchen, the coal range has been thoughtfully retained, providing an impressive glimpse into the home's early years and a tangible connection to its past.

The south-west wing, once the original servants' quarters, still retains its character and features a private corner stairwell that once allowed discreet access to the kitchen and main living spaces, a charming nod to the home's history.

Around 20 years ago, a highly regarded local builder undertook substantial renovations including upgrades to the kitchen, bathrooms, wiring, decor, exterior and roof, thoughtfully modernising the home while preserving its character. There remains opportunity to add your own touches over time, or simply move in and embrace the lifestyle from day one.

The sweeping driveway loops gracefully to a grand eastern entrance, setting the tone on arrival. A double carport with internal access provides convenience, while the expansive grounds offer ample room for additional garaging, shedding or future enhancements.

Established gardens provide privacy and shelter, showcasing rare vintage and contemporary plantings creating a magical wonderland atmosphere. Beyond, a bonus paddock, currently home to a pony and a few lucky sheep, but could house a menagerie of animals, an orchard, a granny flat or all three.

The house and the paddock enjoy utterly breathtaking views stretching to Aoraki/Mt Cook and out toward the ocean. Deer fencing is already in place, and the land offers flexibility for those considering additional dwelling potential or multigenerational living, subject to council approval.

Northdown is both a lifestyle sanctuary and a smart long-term investment in a proven growth location, a rare balance of history, scale, outlook and opportunity.

Step into your own private paradise, where the past is honoured, the views are unforgettable, and the next chapter at Northdown is ready to begin.
