Tucked away in the beautiful surrounds of Pukehiki, this remarkable 1.94-hectare property captures everything there is to love about life on the Otago Peninsula: privacy, sunshine, space and an extraordinary sense of tranquillity.
Designed by Mike Sowman, the 258sqm, four-bedroom residence was created for the current owner and has remained in the same ownership for the last 25 years. Now surplus to requirements, this much-loved home is ready for its next chapter, with a motivated vendor committed to achieving a sale.
A sweeping driveway introduces the property through established, park-like grounds. Three peaceful ponds, landscaped gardens, an orchard and greenhouse sit amongst mature trees and established hedging, creating a wonderfully private and sheltered environment. Six water tanks, a reliable spring-fed supply and a water-treatment system provide excellent supporting infrastructure.
Inside, the home has a warmth and character that feels entirely at home in its setting. Beautiful macrocarpa floors anchor the main living spaces, while expansive windows bring the gardens, sunshine and greenery into everyday life.
The four-bedroom layout is cleverly arranged across two levels, with two bedrooms upstairs and two downstairs, providing excellent flexibility for family, guests or multigenerational living. The primary suite enjoys its own private position upstairs, complete with an ensuite and Juliet balcony overlooking the gardens.
Generous living spaces connect naturally with the outdoors, creating numerous opportunities to follow the sun, entertain friends or simply find a quiet corner amongst the gardens. Two heat pumps, a cosy fire and gas hot water provide year-round comfort, while a double internal-access garage and generous off-street parking add everyday practicality.
And then there is the location. Sandfly Bay and Hoopers Inlet are close by, while Portobello, Company Bay and Macandrew Bay place cafés, beaches, walking tracks and everyday amenities within easy reach. In the other direction, Andersons Bay and Waverley are only around 10 minutes up the road, providing convenient access to popular schools and further amenities. Yet once you arrive home, the property feels wonderfully removed from it all.
After more than 25 years in the same ownership, the decision has been made to sell. Our vendor is motivated, the property is surplus to requirements, and this spring relaunch presents an exciting opportunity for a new owner to secure a very special piece of the Otago Peninsula.
Beautifully established, wonderfully versatile and surrounded by nature, this is a property to settle into, enjoy and make your own for many years to come.
To be sold by auction on 23 October, unless sold prior.
