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.
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.
