In the heart of vineyard country, where golden hills meet world-class cellar doors, this remarkable Bannockburn residence delivers lifestyle at a level rarely seen. Perfectly suited to discerning families, professionals seeking space and privacy, or wine lovers wanting to immerse themselves in Central Otago’s most prestigious pocket, this is a home that reflects the character and quality of its surroundings.
Privately positioned on an expansive section in sought-after Bannockburn, the home has been fully renovated and thoughtfully enhanced throughout with substantial space on offer, across the 154m2 (approx) home, with its substantial 93m2 (approx) timber deck as well as a 32m2 (approx) double garage and 15m2 (approx) external office, giving a total floor area of 201m2 (approx). Three generous bedrooms provide excellent accommodation, including a primary suite complete with a beautifully appointed ensuite featuring a tiled shower and separate bath in striking blue and white hues. The suite also enjoys external access to the deck and spa area - your own private retreat. A second bathroom is sleek and modern, complemented by a separate toilet for everyday practicality. An additional office at the original entrance offers flexibility for those working from home or needing a quiet creative space.
The living spaces are where this property truly shines. A vast lounge with vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and feature panelling creates warmth and architectural interest, while lake views from both the lounge and kitchen elevate the outlook. The kitchen is a chef’s dream - anchored by a generous U-shaped feature benchtop, quality designer appliances including a large freestanding Electrolux oven, and a substantial walk-in pantry. Entertaining here feels effortless. As a conversation piece like no other, an original water tank has been cleverly transformed into a hidden underground wine cellar, accessed via a thick safety glass hatch from the lounge - a wine and whisky connoisseur’s delight and an unforgettable feature for guests. Two heat pumps and a log burner ensure year-round comfort, while a beautifully renovated laundry with smart joinery completes the interior.
Outdoors, the scale and privacy are exceptional. Established hedging surrounds the substantial grounds, creating a sheltered sanctuary ideal for enjoying Central Otago’s long summers. A large front deck with pergola and spa pool provides the perfect setting for relaxed evenings after a day exploring the nearby wineries. Manicured landscaping with cedar and schist accents adds striking visual appeal. There’s a raised designer vegetable garden complete with tunnel house and seating area - a space designed not just for growing, but for gathering. Beyond the hedge the section continues with additional space that offers exciting future potential for a second dwelling or granny flat (subject to council consent, of course). An external garage with an adjoining studio or separate office provides further flexibility - ideal for a home business, creative pursuits, or guest overflow.
Living in Bannockburn means embracing a lifestyle synonymous with boutique vineyards, cycling trails, lake adventures and a welcoming local community - all just minutes from Cromwell and within easy reach of Queenstown. It’s a place where pace slows, views inspire, and quality of life takes centre stage.
