One of those gems that so rarely come to market is now for sale. In an elevated sundrenched and sheltered location one finds the 1960s McCoy designed original "Lindisfarne" 233sqm (approx.) home. The 1.68ha (approx.) site looks out over the Taieri plain to the NW and the original owners took great care to ensure year round beauty and productivity with very selective planting of the expansive grounds. This micro-climate even allows the rare sight in this region of grapefruit and other citrus fruit flourishing. Pears, apples, quince grow in and around raised vegetable gardens, a glasshouse and even a large feature fish pond. Water is supplied from the local East Taieri scheme (3 units) and there is a modern septic tank system which pumps grey water back up to the plantation which is the source of a lifetime of firewood. The gardens have comprehensive irrigation and a handy shed is on site for tools, mowers etc. The dwelling itself features clean, balanced and timeless lines and detail and has been renovated throughout by the current owners in a fashion befitting of such a quality property. The main entrance leads directly through a large open plan dining/kitchen area with a beautifully appointed kitchen including granite bench tops and Fisher and Paykel appliances. A door from the kitchen leads to the laundry, third toilet, back entrance and internal access to the double garage which also has a studio/fifth bedroom built in the ceiling space. A formal lounge with a large inbuilt woodfire is the centrepiece of the living spaces and flows to sensational outdoor living on over 100sqm of hardwood decking. Additional heating is from a heat pump and there is extensive double glazing. The NE accommodation wing has two quality bathrooms, and four bedrooms with the master having walk in wardrobe, ensuite and french doors to the deck. Being close to Mosgiel, Dunedin and the airport this property will appeal to the discerning buyer. GV $770,000. https://vimeo.com/244137376
