Where History, Creativity & Lifestyle Combine

Some properties are simply a place to call home, while others have a story to tell. This extraordinary 2.4 hectare lifestyle property certainly has a fascinating story of its own. Rich in history, bursting with character and offering endless possibilities, this is a property unlike anything else on the market.

The birthplace of the World of Wearable Art, this remarkable property holds a special place in New Zealand's creative history. As you make your way towards the beautiful tree-lined driveway, you're welcomed by the historic Cob Cottage, a charming piece of history surrounded by established gardens and mature trees. Full of character and timeless appeal, the cottage offers an incredible opportunity for extended family living, guest accommodation or exploring potential income streams.

Continue along the driveway and you'll discover the main residence, a wonderfully creative and distinctive four-bedroom, two-bathroom home that is anything but ordinary. Bursting with personality, interesting architectural features and unexpected spaces, this is a home designed for those who appreciate individuality. The living areas flow out to expansive lawns, creating a wonderful connection between the home and its peaceful rural surroundings.

Outside, the opportunities are just as exciting. Established trees, productive land, open paddocks and beautiful gardens create a private lifestyle haven with room for animals, gardening, outdoor adventures or simply enjoying the space. A substantial garage with internal-access provide fantastic flexibility for tradespeople, hobbyists, collectors or anyone needing room to work from home.

And then there's the river! With a beautiful stretch of the Wai-iti River bordering the property, imagine spending long summer afternoons swimming, relaxing and making memories with family and friends. Tucked away towards the river is an additional two-room building, offering yet another interesting possibility for those with a creative vision, including potential glamping-style accommodation, subject to the necessary approvals.

Positioned between the popular townships of Brightwater and Wakefield, and approximately 10 minutes from Richmond, you'll enjoy the peace and privacy of country living without sacrificing everyday convenience.

Whether you're dreaming of a multi-generational lifestyle, a home-and-income opportunity, a creative retreat, or simply somewhere truly special to call home, this property offers a world of possibilities.

Properties with this much history, character and versatility are exceptionally hard to find. This is more than just a lifestyle property; it's an opportunity to become part of a remarkable story and create your own next chapter.

Come and experience the magic for yourself.
