16.4886 Hectares - Set at the foot of the Rock and Pillar Range with commanding views across the Strath Taieri Gladbrook Station Homestead offers one of the region's most significant historic rural holdings.
Built in 1890's and positioned just 64km from Dunedin International Airport and 10km from Middlemarch, this substantial homestead and its surrounding buildings once formed the operational heart of Gladbrook Station - established in 1872 and historically linked to the wider Strath Taieri Run 213 before it was split up.

Today, this rare 16.4ha offering brings together an exceptional collection of original structures - including the grand homestead, a standalone billiard room, stone cottages, utility buildings, shearers’ quarters, and a classic woolshed. Together they present a platform of scale and character that is increasingly hard to find. Beyond its historical significance, the property’s layout and setting open the door to wide-ranging possibilities: a private rural residence, multi building accommodation venture, wedding or event destination, or even a campervan and motorhome park over. Gladbrook Homestead stands as a substantial, versatile estate ready to be shaped for its next purpose. Phone for set viewing times.

Built in 2013 to the highest standards, this four bedroom plus office home has two large living areas that open to the outdoor entertaining area and a heated, self-cleaning saltwater pool. Polished solid wooden floors, high studs, fully tiled bathrooms and cathedral ceilings in the kitchen/ living areas set this house apart from the rest.
The fittings and fixtures throughout the home are of the highest standards, including large stone benchtops and the designer kitchen fitout that sets the tone throughout the home. Auto louvres cover the deck that links the two separate living areas, making this the ideal entertainer's home.
The irrigated 10 hectares is well sheltered and subdivided making stock movement a breeze. An American-style barn with a concrete floor and power is the ideal addition to this outstanding property, located just over 10 minutes from both West Melton and Rolleston. Enjoy truly rural surrounds with uninterrupted views of the Southern Alps from the kitchen window in a truly crafted home, situated on an income-generating ten hectares.
