ALMOST PERFECT.

They say nothing is perfect - but 390C Lett’s Gully Road comes close.

You’d struggle to find a better presented property.

Actually, you could probably eat your dinner off the driveway, your dessert pastries off the patio.

The 2019-built block, cedar and colorsteel four-bedroom, two-bathroom home - which sits on just over two-hectares - is immaculate inside and out and is just seven kilometres from Alexandra, 5 from Clyde.

The light filled kitchen, dining and living zone is open plan and branches out onto two separate outdoor entertaining areas through stacker doors. There you’re surrounded by a well irrigated lovely green lawn, rustic garden, and – in the distance - those much-loved Central Otago views – the Dunstan, Hawkdun, and Raggedy Ranges.

I’m picking the Central Otago reds would taste pretty good from here.

Ensuring year-round comfort, there’s underfloor heating, a heat pump, as well as diesel radiators and double-glazing throughout.

A study, or small bedroom, completes the north facing section of the house, while the four good-sized bedrooms run along the ‘back’ of the dwelling – the master with walk in wardrobe and ensuite. A second bathroom, separate toilet, and double garage complete the home, but there’s a twist.

One side of the garage has been turned into a ‘studio’. This space could remain a work from home area, become another bedroom, or be converted back into a garage. You’re in charge.

Either way, this house is so well presented you’d think it wasn’t lived in – you’d think it was staged.

Unsurprisingly, the property is just as neat outside as it is in. The lawns, gardens, front entrance, parking area and paddocks are all pristine. Irrigation water and elbow grease have turned the arid ground into an almost fluorescent green.

A near-new four-bay implement shed will take care of all your bits and pieces, while the property is screaming out for a second dwelling to make the most of those fabulous views.

390C Letts Gully Road – all the work has been done – all the headaches had – you just need to move in and enjoy.

Your future… starts here.
