Generous picture windows draw the landscape in, while a substantial walk-in wardrobe and spacious ensuite with underfloor heating and a tiled walk-in shower complete the space. Direct patio access invites a quiet morning coffee, with provision for a future spa adding another possibility for unwinding outdoors.

The same thoughtful approach extends to the practical spaces. A generous laundry and double garage with built-in cabinetry provide excellent storage, while ducted heating keeps the home comfortable year-round. Provision for a future Louvretec system offers scope to further enhance outdoor living.

Set on 3,511sqm (more or less), the grounds offer a taste of country life without the workload of a larger lifestyle property. Carefully considered, low-maintenance landscaping includes vegetable gardens, a sandpit and trampoline, and a paddock for a few pet lambs. There is also room to explore a pool, shed or tiny home, subject to applicable covenants and the necessary approvals.

Despite the peaceful setting, Cambridge is only around 13 minutes away, with school bus options for intermediate and high school adding to the everyday convenience.

Private, peaceful and beautifully connected to its surroundings, this is the kind of home you return to at the end of the day, close the door behind you and simply breathe.

Town and Country

If you’re wanting to go country - but you don’t want to leave town - then this is the property for you. One ninety-eight Earnscleugh Road offers an elegant five-bedroom two-bathroom home on more than three hectares of well-fenced flat land, just 1.2 kilometres from Alexandra. The new owners of this leafy, established property can enjoy the space, privacy, and lifestyle a block this size typically offers as well as the convenience of living very close to town.

The large 1995-built designed-for-the-sun plaster home sits at the back of the property and is linked to Earnscleugh Road via a private meandering cherry blossom tree lined driveway. The house is surrounded by beautiful well-established trees and shrubs. The back of the home has a grand English-estate-like symmetrical entrance, which leads through to the main living area and front entrance, which opens out to a very pleasant entertaining area, lawn and garden.

Most of this substantial light-filled home faces north with the master bedroom, walk-in-wardrobe, and ensuite at the eastern end of the house. Another three double bedrooms - all with built in wardrobes - are at the nor-western wing of the house. An open plan kitchen dining and living area, as well as a second living space make up the rest of the northern side of the home. A log burner and diesel fire heat this area, while the rural outlook through the double-glazed windows and doors is delightful.

A family bathroom, a fifth double bedroom, an office and a separate laundry with internal access to the double garage - all linked by a large hallway with floor to ceiling windows - complete the package. This is a lovely warm house with a great, homely feel to it.

Outside, the garden and the paddocks are well set up with fixed sprinklers and plenty of irrigation quota. The wee farm has a central lane for stock movement and then there’s the shedding. There’s plenty – a single garage, a three-bay implement shed with sheep yards for shearing, as well as a huge ‘high-stud’ shed with lockable roller doors, verandah, toilet and laundry facilities. A caravan pad with power and water is close by.

Close to the Clutha River with those Dunstan Mountains in the background, this leafy property has taken decades to knock into shape. The huge house is as solid as a rock. The sheds are in place. The fences are up. The sprinklers are in the ground. The trees, shrubs and plants are established. Imagine what this property would set you back if you were going to start from scratch. Conveniently located to Alexandra - remember just 1,200 metres from town - you’d struggle find a better property to invest in.

198 Earnscleugh Road, Alexandra - your future starts here.
