354 Dublin Bay Road, Albert Town, Wanaka, Otago

One of the jewels in Wanaka's crown, Dublin Bay is one of the most exclusive and sought after locations in the region. The small number of homes in Dublin Bay makes this hilltop haven a truly once-in-a-blue-moon opportunity as ultimate privacy of site combines with jaw-dropping views and barely another residence in sight.

Enjoying 8.1458 ha of land, this expansive 460m2 home is endowed with plenty of space that includes five bedrooms, two ensuites and three living areas in which to soak up the magnificent vista. From the sheltered deck there are unparalleled views of the lake and mountains beyond while the considered design of the house ensures that every room offers up a different aspect of the majestic alpine surroundings.

During the summer months, there is significant solar gain to be had from this light and sunny spot. When the days draw in, extensive heating is provided in the form of diesel radiators, underfloor heating, a large Jetmaster open fire and an efficient wood burner. Capitalising on this sun-trap, solar energy panels have been installed for power generation with income gained from the sale of surplus power. Included too is a Tesla 2 Powerwall Battery System.

The current owners have invested considerable time and care into this exceptional property, extending green spaces and native plantings and developing an established orchard and large vegetable garden.

In one of the most enviable positions in the region, and with the potential to build upon the existing owners' commitment to the land, this is one of the must-see properties of the moment. With Wanaka's finest beach on the doorstep, fresh produce from the garden, and local shops and the award winning Pembroke Patisserie just five minutes down the road, you'll never need to stray too far from your private paradise.

Price by negotiation.
