Marketed as a Deceased Estate, this remarkable property has stories to tell-one of the most notable being the visit of Queen Elizabeth II in 1990. T
Set on 1.4780 hectares just five minutes north of Otorohanga, this sprawling villa is ready for its next chapter. With a project of this scale, there's ample potential for those who see home restoration as a labour of love.
The exterior combines classic weatherboard charm with characterful touches-some brick cladding and imitation brick veneer were added after a partial rebuild following a fire many years ago.
Inside, you'll find a well-appointed kitchen, a generous dining area, and two expansive lounges with soaring ceilings that accentuate the home's sense of space. The layout continues to impress, offering five bedrooms plus a study. Note: the study skylight does have a leak and damaged ceiling that will need attention, offering a clear opportunity for value-added improvements. The house will be sold as is, without warranties.
Outdoors, the grounds are a gardener's canvas, with room to create a true lifestyle retreat. Whether restoring the property's grandeur or adding your own vision, this is a home with both history and promise-a place where new memories can be made.
