Welcome to 'Moata', an iconic residence where timeless character, modern comfort and future potential come together on one of Dunedin's most impressive landholdings.
Designed in 1918 by renowned architects Edmund Anscombe and Leslie Coombs for S.D. Neill Esq. of Neill & Company, this remarkable home is rich in history. Even the beautiful stone pathways leading to the entrance were laid by Harry Goldie, brother of celebrated artist Charles Goldie.
Inside, you'll discover three generous double bedrooms, including a spacious master suite complete with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite.
The heart of the home is the stunning modern kitchen, featuring a coveted Belling three-oven stove with gas hob, all bathed in sunshine and enjoying spectacular views across the city and harbour.
Designed for entertaining and family living, you'll love the choice of living spaces. A large separate lounge with an open fire and heat pump provides a warm retreat, while the separate dining room offers its own open fire, heat pump and an adjoining butler's room-perfect for preparing cocktails before dinner with friends. There's also a centrally positioned second living room with its own cosy open fire and reading nook.
Outside is where this property truly shines.
Set on an expansive 2,743 square metre site overlooking the playgrounds, city skyline and harbour, this is a rare landholding with exciting subdivision potential, subject to council approval. Imagine creating up to three generous north-facing sections while retaining this magnificent home.
Practicality hasn't been forgotten either. Car enthusiasts will appreciate the double carport leading to a double garage, while a separate garage and workshop at the far end of the property offers even more space for hobbies, storage or projects.
Extensively upgraded over recent years, the home has been reroofed, rewired, fitted with four heat pumps, new gutters and a large percentage has been double glazed, allowing you to enjoy modern convenience while preserving its historic charm.
Located close to excellent schools, local shopping, cafes and with an easy commute to the University of Otago and Dunedin's CBD, this is a property that offers both lifestyle and opportunity.
Offered to the market for the first time in 16 years, opportunities like this are incredibly rare.
Deadline Sale closes Thursday 17 September 2026 at 2.00pm at our Ray White Dunedin office, 12 Wharf Street. Prior offers will be considered.
Come and experience one of Musselburgh Rise's finest homes for yourself.
