What's around 4134 Roxburgh-Ettrick Road

Meticulously Restored 1880s Homestead

"Hexton" is a Central Otago treasure nestled at the foot of Mt Benger; this magnificent stone homestead invites you to step back in time while enjoying the comforts of the present. This home has been meticulously restored; no detail has been spared in this thorough and impeccable renovation. Every inch has been sensitively and carefully restored. From the foundation to the roof, no element has been left untouched. The historic essence has been preserved while equipping with modern conveniences, including central heating, air conditioning, and updated electrical and plumbing systems. The kitchen is a cook's dream, featuring custom cabinetry crafted from reclaimed elm and oak and quality appliances that harmoniously blend with period-appropriate fixtures. Beautifully decorated rooms, licensed Van Gogh wallpapers, and wool carpet add a touch of quiet luxury, and there are so many "moments" in this home: exposed stone walls, window seats, claw foot bath and heritage fittings, there is a multitude of features to admire. The former fruit packhouse has been reclad and is sporting a new roof. If you work from home, the office is spacious and comfortable with a small kitchenette, plus a sewing room, pottery/art studio space and a massive workshop area. In the 1880s, the owner ran a carrying business, carting coal to the dredges by horse & cart; today, the former stables provide covered parking for seven vehicles. The historic 1880s glasshouse has been transformed into an impressive pergola, woven with a Black Hamburg grape; over 100 years old, it still bears fruit. The landscaped gardens are a fitting backdrop to the homestead, and the small orchard has a good range of fruit varieties for your eating pleasure. "Hexton" is more than a home; it's a living piece of history; it's also not a museum; it is comfortable, cosy and superbly well-equipped for modern family life. If you desire a home that truly stands the test of time, make this Central Otago treasure yours.

Verified Review

No sales spiel, just a Teviot Vally aficionado!

I've been looking for a property to buy in the Teviot Valley on and off for years. At the start of this search, Brigitte very kindly took me on a tiki tour around the valley which firmly cemented my love for the place. Brigitte provides good sound knowledge about the houses she's showing and great background knowledge about council requirements, without any hint of overselling. Highly recommended.
