A Garden Worth Inheriting

Some gardens are planted. This one has been raised, over more than a century, by people who understood patience. Wander beneath old trees through a heritage fruit orchard, brush past herb beds and roses, and eat from the developing food forest. The owners have done the heavy lifting, so the years ahead are for enjoyment. Garden views fill every window, and native birds sing from dawn to dusk. Spring water from the mountain stream flows through it all, backed by two 30,000-litre tanks, so the garden never goes thirsty and neither will you. You'll taste the difference.

An original homestead once stood where the modern schist-clad home stands today, sheltered from the wind and holding the last of the day's sun. Completed in 2011, its single-level, 372 sq m (approx.) floorplan includes three very spacious bedrooms that each open to the garden, so mornings start with the doors thrown wide, a hot coffee and the native birds in full song.

Well-appointed kitchen and living areas are made for long lunches and full tables, with a fire lit and the wood range warm, or flowing outside to evening BBQs on sheltered and sunny terraces. A quiet library nook is the perfect place to settle, and at day's end you can choose between the spa bath in the master ensuite and the deep soaking tub in the family bathroom. Underfloor heating runs throughout, powered by a ground-source system, and a double garage opens into the house for everyday ease.

For collectors and creators alike, cars, tools and projects all find a home here. The four-bay shed has a workshop, holds up to five vehicles, and includes a small studio for visiting family and guests. A circa-1890s woolshed, recently upgraded, is the ultimate ‘Man Shed’ and keeps the farm's history alive. With a 2.669 ha (more or less) landholding, there's still pasture for a horse or a few animals.

Lake Hāwea foreshore and boat ramp are mere minutes away by car, beckoning summer fun on the water. Hāwea's community library, supermarket, café and tennis courts are close by, and downtown Wānaka is a scenic 12 km drive. Cardrona/Treble Cone Snow Resorts and the Hawea/Clutha River recreation trails are all within easy reach.

Some places simply feel like home the moment you arrive. Contact us today to see why this one has been loved by many for generations and arrange your private inspection.

The property is zoned Rural General Zone* under the current Queenstown Lakes District Council District Plan, and benefits from its proximity to the route linking Wānaka to the West Coast via the Haast Pass, one of the South Island’s most scenic and well-travelled corridor. Providing both accessibility and exposure, there is potential for both a boutique accommodation concept, or a strategic landholding (subject to council approvals).

*This zoning is intended to preserve rural character while enabling a range of activities, including Residential living as of right (subject to standards), Potential for visitor accommodation, small-scale commercial, or tourism-related uses (subject to resource consent)

*All development potential should be independently verified with council and relevant consultants.
