Set amongst 2.36 hectares of productive land in the beautiful rural surroundings of Hawea Flat, 481 Camphill Road offers a wonderful combination of historic charm, modern comfort and an established lifestyle property with an abundance of possibilities.
At the heart of the property is a charming 193m² homestead, where more than 150 years of history have been thoughtfully blended with modern improvements. Comprising three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the home has evolved through several generations, with each addition contributing its own character and appeal.
The original living room dates back to 1870 and has been lovingly renovated, retaining the warmth and charm of its heritage. An adjoining section, built in the early 1900s, has undergone extensive renovations, including a beautifully updated bathroom, retrofitted double glazing and upgraded insulation, providing modern comfort while respecting the home's history.
A more recent addition brings a contemporary touch, featuring a spacious kitchen with butler's pantry, dining area, second bathroom, separate laundry and practical mudroom. Together, these spaces create a comfortable and functional family home that celebrates its past while catering to modern living.
Surrounded by established trees, expansive lawns and mature gardens, the homestead enjoys a peaceful, sheltered setting with attractive outdoor entertaining areas and beautiful views towards the surrounding mountains. A separate sleepout provides additional flexibility, while two concrete outbuildings offer useful storage and further possibilities. The property's convenient proximity to Hāwea Flat School and Kindergarten adds to its appeal, particularly for families seeking a relaxed rural lifestyle.
Beyond the home, the property has been extensively developed for horticultural use, offering an exceptional opportunity to embrace a more sustainable and self-sufficient lifestyle.
Previously home to Wild Things Wanaka, an established regenerative market garden, the land has a history of producing fresh vegetables and eggs for the local community. While the horticultural operation has been scaled back, the farm continues to sell eggs and chicken feed, with extensive infrastructure remaining in place for those wishing to revive or expand its productive use.
Three tunnel houses, a greenhouse, established growing areas, numerous mature fruit trees and berry bushes provide an excellent foundation for future cultivation. A dedicated farm shop, single garage currently utilised as a vegetable washing and packing area, chiller, garden shed and two large chicken coops add further versatility, providing excellent opportunities for those looking to enjoy the rewards of growing their own produce or explore the property's future potential.
With its generous landholding, established infrastructure and picturesque rural surroundings, the property presents an exciting opportunity for families seeking space and independence, gardening enthusiasts, or those dreaming of producing their own food and enjoying a more rewarding connection with the land.
Rich in history, character and opportunity, 481 Camphill Road is a special property offering a lifestyle that has been cultivated over generations, with plenty of room for the next owners to make it their own.
