Step into a piece of history with this stunning character home, over 100 years old, lovingly restored and relocated to its picturesque new setting in Athol, around an hours drive from Queenstown. This home radiates charm with its original features, including stained glass windows, some timber floors and ceilings retained, decorative fireplace, and hardwood doors and framing with high ceilings creating a large and roomy feeling.
The spacious open-plan kitchen and living area is perfectly positioned for both all day sunshine and privacy, featuring excellent heating options with a large wood burner and heat pump.
Accommodation includes three bedrooms and a beautifully appointed bathroom with a standalone bath, plus the convenience of two toilets and a separate laundry.
The expansive 2,022m² section is a gardener's dream, landscaped with numerous plantings, including an enclosure for fruit trees and berries. Enjoy your morning coffee or evening BBQ on the private, sunny deck. The property also boasts a tunnel house for gardening enthusiasts and a generous double garage with excellent storage, all while offering beautiful rural views.
Athol is known for its great fly fishing, with the Around the Mountain Cycle Trail passing through this charming rural Northern Southland village. It's an easy commute to Queenstown or drive to Fiordland, where you can enjoy world-renowned hiking trails. Lumsden, just 20 minutes away, is a well-serviced town with a supermarket, cafes, and various other businesses.
