Health concerns force prompt sale!

***New price point seriously for sale***

Our vendors' dream home is now reluctantly offered for sale due to ill health, creating a rare chance for new owners to secure an exceptional lifestyle estate - set on 32 acres (more or less) in the heart of Waiau Pa, and priced well below replacement value.
Privately located down a long driveway, this striking 440sqm home commands attention from the moment you arrive. Elevated on the highest point of the property, the home offers complete privacy and breathtaking views across farmland, with not a neighbour in sight.
The home is only five years old and presents as new. Thoughtfully designed, it features two distinct wings, providing ideal separation between the master retreat and the guest or family quarters. The master wing is a luxurious escape, with a generous bedroom, large walk-in wardrobe, and a beautifully tiled ensuite where a deep bathtub is perfectly positioned against a frame-less corner window, offering uninterrupted views while you soak in peace.
At the heart of the home is an expansive open-plan living space. The designer kitchen is made for entertaining, with a large scullery, double ovens, and a wide induction cooktop. The dining area is grand in scale, currently home to a 10-seater table, and opens through bifold doors to a covered outdoor entertaining space. The main lounge invites you to relax by the gas fireplace, while a second lounge shares that same fireplace and offers a quieter place to unwind with a book or movie. There is also the office which is cleverly designed and utilised daily by the current owners who both work from home.
The second wing of the home features three generously sized bedrooms, one with its own ensuite and the other two serviced by a sleek family bathroom. All bathrooms are fully tiled and finished to a high standard, with quality fittings that reflect the care and craftsmanship found throughout. Each space feels luxurious yet practical, designed to stand the test of time.
Behind the scenes, a dedicated server room houses the technology that powers the home's integrated electronics and smart systems - ensuring everything from lighting to connectivity runs smoothly and efficiently. It's a discreet yet powerful inclusion that speaks to the home's thoughtful design and future-ready setup.
Step outside and you'll find a setting that is just as impressive. The heated pool is a true showstopper - easily enjoyed year-round and the site of many summer celebrations. The covered entertaining area has room for a full outdoor kitchen, BBQ, and even a pizza oven, making it the perfect space for gathering with friends and family.
The land is as functional as it is picturesque. Divided into 14 well-fenced paddocks, it features a race system for efficient stock movement, loading yards, bore and a large four-bay shed ideal for machinery, storage, or workshop space. The main barn includes four oversized stables, tack room, a wash-down bay, a round pen, a truck shed, plus there is a Harrison Lane ebb and flow arena. There is also another large utility shed located at the front of the property which includes a workshop and lunch room with bathroom, kitchen and laundry.
Currently enjoyed as an equine property, the possibilities here are far greater. With fertile soil, excellent infrastructure, and multiple accommodation options, this property could easily support horticulture, boutique farming, a market garden, or a home-based business. Whether you're dreaming of a quiet rural lifestyle, working from home in style, or running a productive land-based venture - this property is the canvas for it.
If you've previously considered this property but thought it was beyond your budget, now is the time to take another look. With the vendors fully committed to selling, there's genuine flexibility on price - a rare opportunity to secure a premium lifestyle property at exceptional value.

Timeless beauty with endless opportunity

Held in the same hands for over 40 years, this 2.08-hectare (5.14 acres approx.) property offers a rare sense of legacy - not just in ownership, but in the landscape it leaves for those who follow.

From the weeping maples and flowering cherries near the entrance to the century-old pear trees tucked beneath the bush line, the surroundings speak of care and time. With Walsh Creek alongside the boundary, native bush opens to a veiled waterfall, and a tranquil pond captures the slow turn of the seasons. Melias bring colour and kereru in season, while timbered natives - kauri, tanekaha, rimu, kahikatea, nikau - rise with quiet stature, grounding the space in permanence.

Sweeping lawns create space to pause, framed by decades of layered plantings that offer seasonal variation and established maturity. The encircling garden rooms provide more than beauty; they're a living archive, with Claret Ash, Magnolia Grandiflora, flowering cherries, redwoods, birch, and a curated mix of feijoa varieties unfolding across the grounds.

Sitting with quiet ease in its environment, the home reads as a natural extension of the land, with vaulted timber ceilings and a wood burner bringing comfort to the open-plan living and dining zone. Light pours in from every direction, enhanced by effortless outdoor links, with each of the four bedrooms spilling out to its own slice of the setting.

The master suite includes an ensuite with wet floor shower, a walk-in wardrobe, and a lovely sitting area to retreat to a the end of a busy day and relax while you enjoy the views out the large bay window. The additional two bedrooms are also generously sized, with large built-in wardrobes and views to the North.

Down the wide hallway, you will find the family bathroom that has been designed for privacy and convenience, with separate areas for the toilet, shower, and bath, all accessible independently. The spa bathroom has a luxurious tiled floor and Rimu walls, creating a calming and relaxing atmosphere.

The separate laundry has plenty of storage with easy access to the clothesline outside, and the internally accessed three car garage, with workshop space. The large utility room accessed via the garage and an outside door, completes the package on offer at this lovely property.

The outdoor area offers beautiful, landscaped gardens to explore and enjoy, garden sheds, a green house, and three small paddocks for the lambs, pony or other pets.

The serene location, in the quiet, country town of Maheno, is just a short drive from Oamaru, ensuring amenities, schools, sports clubs and services are close to hand for busy families who want to enjoy the best of both worlds.
