Stroll up the path at 9 Hunter Crescent and you’ll feel it at once. That rare sense of calm that comes from a home built with care and lived in with love. Framed by established trees and a rambling cottage garden, this handcrafted home sits easily in its landscape, its timber detailing and gabled roof giving a nod to classic alpine design.



Inside, every space tells a story. The kitchen, dining and main living area form a welcoming heart to the home, with French doors that open onto sheltered verandahs and the bountiful garden. Around the corner, a second living room offers quiet retreat, the flicker of a log burner adding warmth to cooler evenings.



Upstairs, three generous bedrooms and a study capture leafy vistas of the mountains beyond. Morning light filters through the trees, and the scent of the garden drifts in through open windows.



Practical touches, a mud room, wood store, greenhouse and garden shed make this property as functional as it is beautiful. There’s a rhythm here that speaks to a slower pace of life, where time is marked by the change of seasons and the sound of birdsong.



Set in Old Wanaka, an easy stroll from the lake and minutes from town, this is a home that feels both timeless and deeply personal. To fully appreciate this rare and endearing find contact Peter Fletcher today and see it for yourself.
