Perched above the heart of Bannockburn, this exceptional residence offers a harmonious blend of architectural elegance and the rugged beauty of Central Otago. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the home pays homage to the region's rich gold mining heritage while embracing modern luxury.
Spanning approximately 227 sq m, the pavilion-style design features three spacious bedrooms, two exquisitely tiled bathrooms, and a double garage. The timber-clad exterior echoes the historic miners' huts, seamlessly integrating the home into its storied landscape.
Inside, natural materials and earthy tones reflect the surrounding environment. Cork flooring extends through the entryway, hallway, living, dining, and kitchen areas, providing both warmth and durability. Vaulted ceilings and expansive windows frame panoramic views, flooding the interior with natural light and offering ever-changing vistas of the Pisa Range, Lake Dunstan, Mount Difficulty and the historic Bannockburn Sluicings - a testament to the area's gold mining past.
The open-plan living space is anchored by a substantial wood-burning fireplace, creating a cozy ambiance during cooler months. Complementing this is a state-of-the-art radiator central heating system, ensuring consistent warmth throughout the home.
Thermal efficiency is paramount, with 140 mm external framing, Earthwool insulation, and thermally broken, low-e, argon-filled aluminium and timber window joinery. These features not only enhance comfort but also contribute to the home's sustainability.
Set on an elevated 3,229 square meter site, the property offers unparalleled privacy and direct access to Bannockburn's renowned amenities.
