Minutes from Mosgiel, yet a world away - this truly unique piece of North Taieri will be a haven for those seeking privacy and sustainability, coupled with commercial practicality if desired, as well as space to enjoy at 4.9 hectares.
Apparent from the moment you enter the property is the care and earnest design that has gone into the development of this much-loved property. From the landscaped surrounds and extensive network of gravelled paths and tracks, to the cleverly designed series of ponds fed by the central stream that meanders through the established native and woodland area that is home to considerable wildlife, or the 200-vine vineyard for that something unique to the locality, and you are just beginning to catch a glimpse of the special characteristics of this work of love created by the current owners.
Amongst the established habitat sits the very comfortable elevated four-bedroom double-glazed family residence. Just like the rest of this property, much thought has gone into the modernised north-facing home too, with insulation and heating the priority, featuring a large wood fire that heats the hot water and recirculation system to thermostatically controlled radiators throughout. The kitchen, designed by the vendors, features unique stone benchtops with the stone content sourced from the property, walk in pantry area, as well as large Pyrolytic oven plus built-in conventional oven and beverage fridge. The separate lounge is bright and generous and opens to the outdoor living area that overlooks the property, being the ideal situation for that summer evening in the hot tub or morning coffee. The modern family bathroom features bath and shower, and provision is there to create a planned ensuite in the master bedroom. Sustainability and economical living for the future is provided by the 10kW grid tied solar system including 5kW solar tracking, that is consented for 10kW export into the grid. Matched to the solar system is the 15kW Tesla battery storage to make full use of its solar energy capability, along with ample car-charging capability as well.
Completing the property's capabilities are two modern sheds. The four bay fully enclosed shed is currently home to the vendors Bee Supplies Otago business, which is also available to be purchased separately if desired. This shed would make an excellent facility to run your own business from or utilise for your hobby of choice. The recent three bay shed is located adjacent to the main shed, being very useful for vehicle and plant storage, with large turnaround area and easy access. Further exemplary improvements include a stylish hen house, fruit cages, glasshouse, plus five fenced paddocks, currently running the resident flock of sheep.
