Set on 4.1825 hectares in the highly sought-after Earnscleugh area, this exceptional lifestyle property offers the perfect blend of space, flexibility and rural charm. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful country retreat, a home for extended family, or a property with income potential, this is a rare opportunity to secure a truly versatile holding.
At the heart of the property is a substantial residence designed for comfortable living and effortless entertaining. The original 100m² home provides a warm and welcoming space (with consideration given to thermal resilience for winter and summer living), featuring a generous living area, two double bedrooms, bathroom, separate toilet, laundry with kitchenette, and a large mezzanine-level third bedroom. With its own distinct living arrangement, this area is ideal for extended family, guests, teenagers seeking independence, or as a potential Airbnb accommodation.
Seamlessly connected is the impressive 200m² addition completed in 2012. Here, the light-filled open plan kitchen, dining and living area creates a natural gathering place for family and friends. The well appointed kitchen features a walk-in pantry, while expansive windows and doors capture the sun and draw your attention to the surrounding landscape. A powder room downstairs adds convenience, while upstairs you’ll find a spacious master bedroom, a second double bedroom or office, a family bathroom, and separate toilet.
Designed with Central Otago’s climate in mind, the home embraces sunshine throughout the day. Living spaces open onto covered terraces on two sides of the house for great indoor/outdoor flow. Beautifully landscaped and meticulously maintained grounds provide a picturesque setting, while an internal-access garage completes the home.
The outdoor infrastructure is equally impressive. A substantial 100m² barn with concrete floor and workbench offers excellent storage and workspace, with ample room for a caravan, camper-van or boat. A separate single garage with a three-metre roller door, two-bay hay barn, implement shed, garden shed, three-bay woodshed and cattle yards ensure every practical need is catered for.
The 4.1825-hectare property is fully irrigated via reliable gravity-fed K-line systems, with all fencing hot-wired, making it ideally suited for lifestyle farming.
This is more than just a lifestyle property; it’s a place where families can come together while still enjoying their own space, where hobbies and projects have room to flourish, and where the beauty and tranquility of rural Central Otago become part of everyday life. With options for extended family living, guest accommodation, or supplementary Airbnb income, this is a property that offers both lifestyle and opportunity in equal measure.
