291 Frenchman's Gully Road, Maungati, Waimate, Canterbury

Wow! That's the initial comment on entering this spacious, elevated home. The rooms are generous and light-filled. The views are both intimate and panoramic. In 2008-10 the house was enlarged and thoroughly modernized while retaining its original style. Rooms were expanded, upstairs balconies added and the flow between indoors and garden enhanced visually and physically. The property is now supremely comfortable throughout the four seasons of the year with double glazing, an efficient log burner and a heat pump. Modern electrics provide high pressure water, wide-coverage TVs and sophisticated lighting and alarm systems.

Outdoor entertainment is supported by front and rear terraces and a large 'country' outside fire-place! Local limestone rocks line the private driveway that gently curves up to reveal the house nestled on its panoramic plateau. The property area encompasses (approx) 3.69 hectares including two fenced paddocks, some 'wild' scrub-land and several imposing rock formations.

This serene location lies minutes from the Maungati country golf course and the Craigmore estate with its community affinities. The home offers privacy with easy access to the charms of the South Island. Timaru city's comprehensive services are a relaxing 20-minute drive away; Christchurch and Dunedin, two hours. The magnificent Mackenzie Country, Southern Alps, ski-fields, treks and vineyards are one to four-hour drives through some of New Zealand's finest hinterland. Whether you're seeking a commercial hosting opportunity... whether you're a family, retirees, or simply wanting a new adventure in splendid environs... then this property may be for YOU!
