As soon as you drive up the drive you will be impressed with this property. What appears to be an original homestead was actually only built in 2016 and is surrounded by many of the trees and shrubs from the garden of the original homestead.
The home is unique for this area. It has Bluestone and Linea exterior cladding, some handmade leadlight windows and pressed tin panelling lines the entrance hall. The spacious lounge and dining room has T&G ceilings, a bay window, office bay and two sets of doors opening onto the deck. A new log fire comfortably warms this space and a heat pump assists when you don't want to light the fire. The whole house is double glazed and insulated throughout.
The separate kitchen has wonderful bench space and great storage. It has modern appliances including an integrated dishwasher, fridge/freezer, wall oven and microwave. A totally refurbished 1800's coal range not only looks amazing, it also accommodates an induction hob with rangehood above and some storage below.
The master bedroom is huge, it has a bay window, French doors opening onto the deck and bespoke wardrobe storage across one wall. Alongside is the tiled bathroom with a spacious walk in shower, toilet and new vanity. A second toilet is across from the second bedroom complete with Bluestone slab on top of an 1800's sewing machine base with basin fitted.
A spa pool is out on the deck for your relaxation and the enjoyment of your surroundings. A wander through the garden brings you to the cottage which provides you with accommodation for visitors. It is fully furnished, has a full kitchen, bathroom, large double bedroom and open plan living. It has gas water heating, is private and is perfect for short term guests.
Behind the homestead is a hobby room which is just in the process of being refurbished, and beyond that is the huge old style double garage and workshop where you can tinker away to your hearts delight.
This property has 3.3 hectares with grazing paddocks running parallel to the inland tourist route between Fairlie and Geraldine. It is approximately 40 minutes drive to Tekapo, 10 minutes to Fairlie and 25 minutes to Geraldine. This is a wonderful opportunity to purchase a quality lifestyle property in a mature and sheltered garden setting which is handy to ski-ing, boating, hunting and lots of other recreational activities.
It is a rare treat and one you will appreciate on inspection.
