Charming Chatto Creek

This one's special. Stunning. Almost surreal.

It's heartland Central Otago at its best.

We’re talking 3.6 hectares of that iconic schist and scrub covered rolling land with an elevated naturally formed building site.

There's power and water to the boundary - and then - then there’s those views.

Sun-kissed corduroy like hills with their contrasting light and shade - rugged snow-capped ranges - it's pinch yourself stuff in every direction.

This beaut block is only about 18 kilometres from Alexandra and is perfectly positioned in between the well-worn Otago Central Rail Trail and the popular Chatto Creek Tavern.

Mark your mark - before it's too late.

Rare entry-level lifestyle. So much to love.

Set on 5,000 square metres (more or less) of premium lifestyle land, this is one of those properties that quietly over-delivers at every turn. Post and rail fencing and a sealed driveway lead you home to a property positioned to make the most of reaching rural views — a truly immersive experience, without compromising on proximity to both Cambridge and Te Awamutu.

The main dwelling has been renovated with finesse, with a nod to vintage and retro foundations that give it genuine character. Formal living is sunken — a deliberate design choice that anchors the home's personality. A wood burner warms the family living room, which opens to the kitchen in the way a family hub should. A dedicated dining room and study nook round out the social floorplan. Accommodation includes three bedrooms, the primary with ensuite and doors to the sheltered deck overlooking the inground concrete pool and those views. The remaining two bedrooms are serviced by the gorgeous family bathroom, a real highlight of the home. Inspired vision and practicality collide in the best way. The laundry is substantial and styled to match — a detail that speaks to the care taken across the whole home.

The sleepout has been renovated in keeping with the main home and offers open-plan living and accommodation, a full bathroom, laundry facilities, and a kitchenette. It has been used as a successful Airbnb with excellent Summer occupancy — history available on request. Whether it earns its keep, houses adult children, or enables multi-generational living is entirely up to you.

Two fenced paddocks, each with a trough, offer space for a pony or small livestock. Garaging with workshop space completes the practical picture.

Ten minutes to Cambridge township. Fifteen to Te Awamutu. Five minutes to excellent primary schooling. The location offers ultimate convenience without compromising on space, fresh air, or the kind of quiet that reminds you why lifestyle living matters.

So much content at an entry-level price point, in this location, is virtually unheard of. First lifestyle block, space for a pony, income to offset the mortgage, room for the extended family — this property answers all of those briefs and more.

Owners have committed elsewhere. They are motivated and realistic in their expectations. Opportunities like this do not linger.

Generous ceiling storage is built into the house and garage areas and there is wheelchair access with no step rise above 50mm.

With all day sun and uninterrupted views, the lawns run down to the Waimea Estuary, with picnic spots and a walkway to Hoddy Park, yet reassuringly high enough above any future flood level. A mature orchard has enough olives for a community oil pressing, as well as peaches, plums, pears, apples, feijoas, figs and citrus. Mature native and exotic trees complete the private outlook and big sky sunsets.

The Huge Shed. Formally the Horticultural Research Orchard Headquarters and substantially built with total area of 400sqm, the shed has three phase power, a workshop, mezzanine floor, an office and recording studio. The shed is surrounded by 600m of industrial grade bitumen giving a huge space for machinery parking and storage.

Soil and Geotech tests have been favourably completed, giving the option of future subdivision into two blocks.

27 Te Aro Lane Appleby is an outstanding property in a friendly rural neighbourhood, providing magical living options for single or multi-family living or income. Viewing is by appointment only.
