Embodying timeless elegance with its signature schist design, this picturesque 4.04-hectare estate delivers lavish lifestyle living within 10 minutes of suburban ease. The security-gated entrance gives way to a grand sweeping asphalt driveway lined with lights and flowering cherry trees, leading to a roundabout with striking fountain.

The Central Otago schist-clad residence certainly makes a statement with its raised ceilings, chandeliers, grand staircase, and impressive living spaces. The spacious lounge, with a feature gas fire and bay windows offering captivating views of the property, is large enough to accommodate two grand pianos with ease, while the formal dining room and open-plan kitchen, equipped with granite benchtops and European appliances, are designed for both relaxed and elevated dining. Basking in privacy, the top-floor master bedroom showcases its own sitting area, its own balcony above the portico, walk-in wardrobes, and fully tiled ensuite. Downstairs there are three double bedrooms (including a guest suite with a fully tiled ensuite), two offices, a family bathroom, and a meeting room. Prioritising comfort and function, the layout also includes heat pumps on both floors, zoned underfloor heating, laundry room, a three-car garage with internal access, and a security system for peace of mind.

The outdoor realm hosts a full-size asphalt tennis court, a vegetable bed alongside manicured lawns with pop-up irrigation and simplified landscaping for easy upkeep. The three-bay shed (with two enclosed bays), four paddocks, and stock pen with loading ramp offer ample space for pastoral pursuits, supported by wide shelter belts and a private well.

With the airport minutes away and an approximate 20-minute drive into the city centre, this location offers the pinnacle of convenience for those seeking an accessible lifestyle retreat. Download the property file: https://www.propertyfiles.co.nz/property/5524150
