Hidden Hillside Sanctuary with Spectacular Views

Privately tucked away on an elevated 8.2259 hectare lifestyle property, 53 Paterson Road, Cairnmuir is a hidden Central Otago sanctuary where privacy, panoramic views and mature trees come together. An extraordinary collection of exotic and native specimen trees enhances the setting, while breathtaking views extend across the Cromwell Basin, surrounding mountain ranges and the dramatic Kawarau Gorge. With renowned wineries and cycle trails nearby, the property offers a lifestyle that feels wonderfully secluded yet remains connected to everything the area has to offer.

Positioned around 260 metres above sea level, the thoughtfully designed 290sqm residence was built in 2001 to embrace its remarkable setting. The striking 45-degree split-wing floor plan centres around spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas, carefully orientated to capture all-day sun, the ever-changing landscape and spectacular evening light as the sun sets over the gorge.

A separate guest wing provides privacy for family and visitors with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a separate office for the early sun and a sunny study nook captures the warmth of the late afternoon. Adding character and a strong connection to the land, schist sourced directly from the property has been incorporated into an impressive feature interior feature wall and fireplace. Complementing the home is a modern 4.98 Kw solar system.

Surrounding the home are gently sloping paddocks, an abundance of established fruit and nut trees, and beautifully landscaped gardens. The lower slopes feature an impressive collection of mature specimen trees gathered from around the world, including cedars, spruces, redwoods, rowans, birches, crab apples, kōwhai and other native species, creating a garden of remarkable variety and character.

Beyond the landscaped grounds, the elevated tussock country remains in its original, uncultivated state. Walking tracks meander through striking schist outcrops and the natural landscape, providing an authentic Central Otago experience and a haven for those who appreciate nature, privacy and open space.

Within easy driving distance of Cromwell township, yet feeling a world away, 53 Patterson Road offers an exceptional opportunity to secure a truly distinctive Central Otago lifestyle retreat.
