Tucked away up a private driveway servicing just four properties, this character-filled cottage is brimming with charm, warmth, and privacy. Perched to capture stunning views over Blueskin Bay and the surrounding hills, the north-facing deck invites you to relax, unwind, and lose yourself in the constantly changing skies and tides.
The flow of the home is effortless, centred around a wood burner on wetback, with warm, inviting living spaces and a layout designed for both comfort and character. Outdoors, the cottage garden is a peaceful haven with meandering paths, heritage fruit trees, vegetable gardens, a greenhouse, an outdoor pizza oven, and multiple seating areas to soak in the tranquillity. The current owners have lovingly refreshed the home with new carpeting, extensive re-wiring, light fittings, a heat pump, state of the art oven, new toilet, hot water cylinder, and freshly painted interiors.
Versatile outbuildings add real lifestyle value, including a stylish separate studio, an insulated container room, and a converted garage offering a large studio space or workshop area — ideal for hobbies and creative pursuits. The property is alive with native birdlife, including kereru, tui, bellbirds, rosella, and fantails, enhancing the sense of peace and connection to nature.
Doctors Point beach is just a stone's throw away, offering penguins, abundant sea life, and easy access for kayaking or boating.
The property is also conveniently located 20 minutes from central Dunedin and a short drive to Waitati amenities, including the local school, Blueskin Bay Nursery & Cafe, local stores, gallery/cafe, library, playcentre, and Orokonui Ecosanctuary.
With so many inviting spaces and lifestyle opportunities, the only challenge here will be remembering to go to work! This is a home with heart, versatility, and a quintessential Doctors Point lifestyle waiting for its next owners to love as much as these ones have.
