Position yourself as the savvy buyer who secures a premium asset below GV, with value built in from day one. Set within the prestigious Kinloch Estate, this approximately 2.01ha property blends refined living with genuine commercial potential in one of the South Island's most picturesque, fast-evolving lifestyle destinations.
Zoned Business 6, the estate supports visitor accommodation and select commercial uses-an ideal platform for a boutique stay business, a high-end retreat, or a private sanctuary held for future optionality. Flexibility like this is rare in such a quality setting.
Position is powerful here. The gate places you beside the Alps to Ocean Cycle Trail, within an easy walk of the world-renowned Omarama Gliding Club, Omarama Hot Tubs and local hospitality, while Lakes Benmore and Ohau are a short commute - anchoring the property in one of the region's most resilient visitor corridors and supporting consistent demand for premium short stay accommodation.
The 378sqm (more or less) residence is crafted from schist, cedar and native Rimu - every window framing sweeping mountain views. A dramatic foyer with raked Rimu ceilings and a schist-framed wine cellar sets an immediate tone of quality. Underfloor heating via a Firebird diesel boiler ensures year-round comfort, with bathrooms heated independently. The interplay of stone, timber and light delivers warm, contemporary rural elegance.
Expansive open-plan living connects kitchen, dining and lounge, complemented by a separate formal living room with a feature log fire. Double stacker doors open to a 96sqm (more or less) covered outdoor zone with built-in BBQ and fridge - designed for effortless entertaining across the seasons.
Accommodation is thoughtful and flexible: a master suite with an ensuite and walk-in robe; the ensuite is also accessible from the adjoining bedroom - ideal for guests. Two additional doubles, a dedicated office, mudroom, linen room and an integrated triple garage complete the layout, with a total roof area of approximately 478sqm. A separate garage/workshop expands storage and project capacity, while a private spa with a waterfall feature offers a tranquil end-of-day retreat.
Outdoors, established gardens, a tree-lined driveway and post and rail paddocks set the scene, supported by a private bore with town connection - practicality aligned with premium presentation. Business 6 zoning preserves lifestyle quality while unlocking future commercial pathways.
A rare chance to combine lifestyle, location and income scope - below GV. Inspection will confirm the quality, scale and strategic potential on offer.
