379 Littles Road, Dalefield, Queenstown

This schist stone and painted cedar, alpine style home sits on an elevated knoll top position in Dalefield, overlooking stunning vistas of the surrounding countryside and the Remarkables Mountains.

With a schist stone, electric gated entranceway, the cherry tree lined, private driveway leads up to the front door of this charming, four bedroom country home. Screened by mature trees, the property sits on 2.5 acres of grounds, which includes versatile flat land.

On entering the home, the hallway opens out to the light and airy, double -height open plan kitchen, living and dining space, which has a wood burner at its heart. Reclaimed pier timber beams create a rustic feel, which is carried through into the separate, formal lounge beyond. With an open fire, and large windows to let in the sun and from which to take in the superb rural views across the valley, this makes a delightful day or evening living room.

Bi-fold doors in the open plan living space open out onto the garden where the solid schist stone of the hillside creates a spectacular terrace and an ideal space for outside entertaining. Beautiful, wood cabinets add warmth to the sunny kitchen, which leads to a separate laundry with outside access.

Springbank custom designed and built copper rails lead up the staircase and edge the galleried landing which overlooks the living space. From here, glass doors open onto a large, sunny office. The master bedroom features generous wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom with dual access from the landing. Another double bedroom with large wardrobes is found on this floor, while downstairs there are two further bedrooms, a separate bathroom and guest toilet, and internal access to the double garage.

With stunning views and plenty of living and entertaining space, this is a superb country home. Only a short drive from Queenstown and the International airport, this property would be ideal as a family home or as a lock up and leave holiday home.
