Set across 5.6510ha (more or less) of thoughtfully managed land, this superbly crafted residence was originally designed to operate as an exclusive lodge, yet it transitions seamlessly into a refined private estate.
The home has a presence that is both elegant and understated, offering substantial accommodation, excellent separation of spaces and a layout that supports a wide range of future uses. Some purchasers will be drawn to the property as a prestigious holiday home with a view to eventual permanent occupation, while others will immediately recognise the benefits of establishing their family life here from day one, creating memories that will endure for generations.
The residence itself is generous, well configured and immaculately cared for, with a level of construction and finish that ensures it will comfortably meet the needs of its owners for decades to come. Five suites, including a separate primary suite, are complemented by six bathrooms and a powder room, allowing family and guests to enjoy privacy without compromise. Formal and informal living areas include a gracious lounge, formal dining room and a large conservatory that draws in light and outlook throughout the day. High-quality fixtures, fittings and tiling reinforce the sense of quiet luxury that runs consistently through the home.
Beyond the residence, the grounds are a defining feature. Expansive lawns flow down toward the water’s edge, bordered by ponds and a natural stream that weaves through the property. A conservation-minded approach by the current owners has transformed the land into a true sanctuary, attracting abundant birdlife, including rare duck species. Portions of the land are paddocked, providing scope for stock or horses, while the house itself enjoys its own defined and private setting.
Practicality has not been overlooked. Double internal-access garaging is supplemented by further shedding suitable for vehicles, workshop and equipment storage, offering flexibility for those with lifestyle, recreational or business interests.
For purchasers seeking income potential, the four guest suites offer obvious scope for boutique accommodation, should one wish to revive or reimagine the property’s original lodge intent.
This is a rare offering: a sophisticated coastal estate that combines scale, serenity and versatility in an increasingly sought-after location.
Whether held as a legacy family property, a refined permanent residence or a future-focused lifestyle investment, it represents an opportunity that is seldom repeated in Opoutere.
