This is country life at its best. It's very best. This beautiful, classic villa on the Clutha River Terrace, is a combination of elegance and modern living convenience.
This grand home sits among beautifully-landscaped gardens and includes olde-world features like stained-glass windows, high-stud ceilings and rimu floors. Added to these is a claw-foot bath offering views to the garden and mountains and, of course, a cosy open fire.
But for today's-style comfort, there is modern insulation, central heating, a well-appointed farm-style kitchen, entertaining patio and a private spa pool.
A huge plus are the stables, not far from the home and the adjacent tracks and paddocks for riding.
There are extensive edible plantings, with olive, fruit and nut trees. There is also a bird-proof, raised vegetable garden and glasshouse, to provide self-sufficiency and sustainable living - food grown using organic principles.
This property has it. Has it all.
