Tucked away in a quiet valley off Nook Road, this is one of those properties that rarely comes to the market. Just a couple of kilometres from the south-eastern shores of Lake Hawea, it feels a world away - private, sheltered, and surrounded by a unique mountain landscape that gives it a real sense of escape.
Set on 1.2719 hectares of flat land, the property has been thoughtfully developed to create a relaxed, lifestyle-focused environment. The cedar home, built circa 2007/08, offers approximately 137sqm of living and has a warm, bespoke feel, with a mix of recycled matai flooring, tiles and carpet throughout. The north-facing kitchen, dining and living area sits beneath a mono-pitch ceiling, bringing in great natural light and sun through the cooler months, while remaining comfortable in summer. Large doors and windows open out to a sunny patio, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow.
The layout is practical and well considered, with a central gallery space, one bedroom positioned off this area, a separate laundry with excellent storage, and a generous tiled bathroom with both bath and separate shower. At the western end of the home, the master bedroom offers a peaceful retreat, complete with a large walk-in robe.
Adding to the appeal are two charming timber sleepouts, both with verandahs and positioned to overlook the gardens - one with power and one without - providing flexibility for guests, workspace, or simply a quiet place to unwind.
The grounds are a real highlight. Established specimen trees, rambling gardens, and an irrigation race (seasonal flow) create a tranquil, almost retreat-like setting. There are plenty of spaces to enjoy - from the outdoor bath tucked amongst the plantings to a hammock beneath the trees. To the north, a small paddock, vegetable gardens, mature fruit trees and a substantial tunnel house support a more self-sufficient lifestyle.
This is a property that will speak strongly to those looking for something a little different - private, peaceful, and full of character - all within easy reach of Lake Hawea and the wider Upper Clutha.
