Step into a piece of history with this magnificent, relocated Harbourmaster's villa where classic craftsmanship meets contemporary potential. Nestled on 6.1 hectares (more or less) of prime land, this exceptional property is a rare find—offering a blend of heritage charm, expansive living spaces, and incredible versatility for families, equestrians, or those seeking a lifestyle retreat.
From the moment you arrive, the home's character captivates. High stud ceilings, polished wooden floors, elegant sash and bay windows, and intricate detailing create an atmosphere of refined beauty. The dining area flows into the lounge, where French doors open to a light-filled sunroom, perfect for year-round relaxation. A second sunroom offers even more space to unwind, while the grand formal living room—anchored by a Jetmaster gas fire—spills out onto the wraparound deck through another set of French doors. Natural light floods the home through its generous windows, highlighting the warmth and elegance of its original features.
With four well-proportioned bedrooms, this residence is ready to accommodate family and guests in comfort. The kitchen, while functional, presents an exciting opportunity for modernization—imagine transforming it into a chef's dream space, blending vintage character with contemporary convenience. Throughout the home, radiators ensure warmth during cooler months.
Beyond the main villa, two additional separate cottages offer extraordinary flexibility. One offers two bedrooms, a spacious lounge, and powder room, while the other provides a cozy one-bedroom layout with its own living space, kitchenette and bathroom.
Outdoor enthusiasts will revel in the expansive entertaining areas, wraparound decks, and breathtaking rural views. With a protected native flora area adding to the property's natural beauty, this land is also ideal for grazing stock. A large barn, complete with a tack shed, makes this an equestrian's dream, providing excellent facilities for horses and riders alike.
Adding to the property's charm and self-sufficiency is an established apple orchard spanning approximately 1.5 acres.
Located in the highly desirable Te Horo community, this exceptional estate is just a short stroll to Te Horo School and within easy reach of key amenities.
