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.

A landmark lifestyle estate

Set across five hectares in one of Muriwai’s most tightly held rural pockets, 376 Taiapa Road is a property with genuine depth.

At its heart sits a character filled 1905 homestead, warm, authentic and beautifully positioned to overlook rolling valley farmland. The open plan kitchen flows to an expansive entertainer’s deck, complete with a cast iron Engle fire, creating an effortless connection between indoors and out. Three bedrooms, plus an office, full bathroom, standalone laundry and sweeping verandah, provide comfortable, relaxed living, while established gardens frame the home in privacy.

Five years ago, the estate evolved. A purpose built, architecturally designed pavilion was added, a striking commercial venue seating up to 80 guests. Supported by council approvals and an ‘On Premise’ restaurant liquor licence, the property is consented for up to 104 events per year, while also allowing for seven day a week operation, creating scalable revenue potential.

During that time, the pavilion has been home to the hugely popular Good From Scratch Cookery School, building strong local recognition and a loyal following for its farm to plate philosophy and bespoke event experiences. That established and trusted reputation provides credibility and momentum, while the new consent allows any future owner or operator to trade under their own brand and vision.

Weddings, corporate functions, private dining and destination events can operate immediately.
This is not a concept. It is operational infrastructure with significant commercial upside.

The land has been carefully master planned. An extensive farm to plate ecosystem with raised garden beds, a glasshouse, citrus grove and established orchard rows creates both productivity and visual beauty. Native planting, paddocks and animal pens are thoughtfully positioned, with defined parking zones, event lawns and even helicopter access enhancing flexibility. Strategic screening ensures privacy between your residential home and its commercial operation. The estate is further strengthened by large fresh-water holding tanks and the consented use of a natural spring (bore), securing a reliable long-term water supply across the entire property.

Whether you are:
•A lifestyle buyer wanting scale with options for income,
•An experienced hospitality operator seeking a turnkey venue with growth potential, or
•A high net worth purchaser looking for a private destination estate close to Auckland, this property offers layers of opportunity rarely found in one holding.

Muriwai continues to attract buyers seeking space, privacy and connection to land, yet true five hectare estates with licensed hospitality remain exceptionally rare.

376 Taiapa Road is heritage, horticulture and hospitality, all in one remarkable offering.
