Designed by local architect, Sarah Scott, this farmhouse style family home is nestled into the side of a hill on 4.5 acres including established native plantings, and mature trees including large gum trees.

With superb mountain and rural views, this grand, yet comfortable home has been designed as one simple rectangle, which spans an impressive 26 metres in length and a generous 10 metres wide.

This is a spacious, warm and welcoming home, with soaring six metre high ceilings, cedar featu res in the architraves and most of the doors and exposed wooden beams with T&G Oregon sarking to give interior detail.

The kitchen, family and dining areas are super sized and take up the bulk of the house, with a gallery-like hallway leading to the main bathroom, laundry and bedrooms including the master bedroom, dressing room and en-suite.

All the timber framing plus the 3 metre verandahs all the way around the house are made from Oregon fir, and the farm house style wooden floors are m ade from recycled timber.

The main feature in the kitchen is the huge u-shaped concrete bench and central block bench, making it an ideal entertainers kitchen. The family-sized kitchen is contemporary, whilst still maintaining the rustic feel and practical elements.

This superb home also features a full size wine cellar, outside fire and dining area and superb metal work, completed by a local metal work expert. Also included with the property are a number of outbuildings, designed in the same superior style as the main home. These include a two bay garage, a self contained studio above, with a wood burner, bathroom, electric stove and secluded rear deck.

There is also a purpose built office, with a wood burner sitting above three bay garaging with a hot water cylinder, shower, and decks looking over the mountains.

The property also has its own bore for water and an allocation from another water scheme if desired. Located 3.5 km from central Wanaka and all the local shops, restaurants and cafes, this unique family home is also close to Cardrona and Treble Cone ski fields.
