Some properties offer privacy. This one offers an entire hidden world. Spanning hectares of mature, park-like grounds, the
estate rises gently above the Hawea River, wrapped in layers of established trees, winding lawns and shifting dappled light.
From above it appears almost secret - a green canopy sheltering a substantial two-level residence, guesthouse and lifestyle
amenities, all moments from the river’s edge.
A path through the trees leads to one of the estate’s most enchanting features: private access to the Hawea River,
complete with a natural swimming spot and quiet seating area. The river’s turquoise clarity, framed by native planting,
creates a retreat that feels far removed from everyday life.
Whether arriving home or welcoming guests, the sense of space, seclusion and possibility is immediate. The main home
spans approx 500 sq m, anchoring the property, and unfolds into a series of warm, inviting living areas that open to the
outdoors on every side. French doors, timber detailing and covered verandas establish a timeless connection to the
gardens.
The master retreat spills onto a sheltered patio and features a spacious dressing-area, tiled ensuite with spa bath, and a
small wood burner - a romantic touch for winter nights. Family and guests are well accommodated with two additional
ground-floor en-suite bedrooms, an elevated mezzanine bedroom with bathroom and office landing, and a further guest
room above the rumpus room offering flexibility for large families, work or creative pursuits. Comfort throughout is
supported by electric underfloor heating, electric wall heaters and a schist-clad Warmington open fireplace, the true winter
centrepiece of the home.
Complementing the main residence is a charming, stone-clad guesthouse (built circa 1985), complete with its own kitchen,
open-fire living area and generous mezzanine bedroom- ideal for extended family, friends or boutique accommodation.
The lifestyle amenities are exceptional. A solar -heated in-ground pool, spa area, outdoor fireplace, tennis court,
extensive vegetable gardens, orchard, large tunnel house and chook run support a life lived well and largely outdoors.
A separate three -bay shed provides integrated storage and sits adjacent to a substantial workroom/studio, inviting
creativity or future conversion. Fenced paddocks, a tack shed and water troughs make the property equally appealing
for horse lovers. The estate is supported by its own bore, and its position within the Lifestyle Improved Zone also
allows for subdivision potential (subject to Resource Consent) .
A rare combination of scale, privacy and amenity, this is a rural sanctuary for those who value space to breathe, create
and truly live - all within ten minutes of both Lake Hawea and Wanaka townships, and zoned for popular Hawea Flat
Primary School.
