An Elegant Retreat for a Discerning purchaser

Set across 2.7 hectares of sculpted grounds, this remarkable 328m² residence feels less like a property and more like a destination to retreat to in harmony and peace.Stonework, gabled rooflines and wrap verandas introduce a home of rare presence.

French doors spill to expansive decking framed by a colourful garden, manicured lawn, sunny BBQ area and the surrounding forested hillside, creating effortless flow for entertaining at scale. A separate library with bespoke shelving and a tranquil nook add yet more depth to the home’s living and working possibilities.The ground floor includes 2 well-appointed bedrooms and full bathroom, ideal for guests or family, plus a large separate laundry.Upstairs, three beautifully scaled bedrooms , serviced by a modern family bathroom and separate WC. The master suite occupies its own wing, with an impressive walk-in robe, luxurious ensuite with freestanding bath, large walk-in shower and serene outlook.Beyond the home, the property becomes its own sanctuary. A cedar cabin and decked retreat house a wood-fired hot tub and barrel sauna - your private wellness hideaway. The land is equally purposeful: a substantial greenhouse, raised vegetable beds, netted orchard plantings and a utility shed with implement storage support genuine self-sufficiency, while garaging for five cars and ample parking ensure practicality.Positioned moments from Herbert township, and an easy drive to both Oamaru and Dunedin, this location offers enviable balance: absolute seclusion with essential connections close by.
