Villas of this pedigree rarely hit the market, mostly because once people move in, they realize they never actually have to leave. Spanning a massive 271m² on a whopping 1,270m² section, this 19th-century period masterpiece has successfully survived the test of time, dialled up the luxury, and added enough solar panels and battery storage to power us well through 2026.
The Main House: Pure Grandeur (And Vibes)
• Character for Days: We're talking spectacular vaulted ceilings, original leadlight windows, and beautiful native timbers.
• Winter is Sorted: It boasts three crackling wood fires. Yes, three. Dust off your velvet smoking jacket and open that bottle of port you've been saving.
• The Feasting Quarters: A massive chef's farm-style kitchen anchors 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. It's perfect for big families, or anyone who just wants a lot of space to hide from their family.
The Backyard Resort (No, Seriously)
Why book a holiday when your backyard looks like a boutique hotel?
• A sparkling, fully fenced, kidney-shaped pool (classic!).
• A bubbling spa pool for stargazing.
• A sauna complete with an external shower. You are officially out of excuses for being stressed.
The Bonus Spaces: Cash & Quiet
• The Side Hustle: A separate 2-bedroom short-stay unit with its own kitchen, bathroom, and entrance. Use it for Airbnb income, or stick your teenagers in there.
• The "Do Not Disturb" Zone: A separate, self-contained office. Finally, a place where you can actually get work done without someone asking you where the snacks are.
The Location: If You Ever Choose to Leave

If you do manage to tear yourself away from the pool, sauna, or fireplaces, you are incredibly close to absolutely everything Masterton has to offer-public transport, the hospital, schools, supermarkets, and cafes are all right on your doorstep.
Bottom line: This is a legacy property built to last for centuries. Don't let someone else snap up your future estate-best view early before we move in ourselves!
