Positioned on an elevated, north-facing 1,682m² site in a highly desirable part of Wānaka, 179 Wanaka-Mount Aspiring Road offers a unique combination of character, modern comfort, established gardens and an attractive mountain outlook, with glimpses of the lake through the trees.
Conveniently located just a short distance from central Wānaka and within an easy walk to the lakefront track, the property enjoys a wonderful sense of space and privacy while remaining close to everything the area has to offer.
At the heart of the property is a charming cottage-style home, thoughtfully designed and immaculately built. Three sets of French doors fill the home with natural light, with two opening directly onto the full-length verandah and creating an effortless connection with the established gardens beyond.
Inside, the home features one generous bedroom and bathroom, along with warm and inviting open-plan living. Thicker than normal walls and a high level of insulation help create a cosy environment year-round, complemented by a wood burner in the living area. A loft overlooking the living space provides an additional retreat – a favourite with visiting children or an ideal spot to relax with a book.
Adding considerable flexibility is a purpose-built, self-contained studio completed in 2020. Positioned to make the most of the sun and outlook, it provides an excellent option for guests, extended family, a work-from-home space or potential short-term accommodation.
The established landscaping is a standout feature, creating an attractive and private setting around both the home and studio. Fruit trees, raised herb and vegetable gardens and mature planting add to the property's charm, while the elevated position captures excellent sun and a beautiful mountain backdrop.
Practicality hasn't been overlooked, with plenty of off-street parking and room for a boat, along with a double carport and large storage shed.
For buyers looking for even more space or future possibilities, there is also the opportunity to purchase the adjoining elevated 2,319m² section, which is being offered separately. Together, the two properties create an impressive landholding of approximately 4,000m², providing a rare opportunity to secure the home and studio along with the neighbouring section.
Whether you're searching for a distinctive Wānaka home, a base with additional self-contained accommodation, or the opportunity to secure a substantial landholding in a sought-after location, 179 Wanaka-Mount Aspiring Road deserves your attention.
