547 Speargrass Flat Road, Speargrass Flat, Queenstown-Lakes, Otago

At the end of a private winding lane - across a rustic bridge over Mill Creek and beneath a canopy of mature trees - lies Tavistock. Offered to the market for the first time, this extraordinary 1.1 ha (more or less) estate has been lovingly cared for and impeccably maintained by its current owners for nearly 30 years.

Tavistock is a sanctuary of artistry, craftsmanship, and timeless design. Conceived and brought to life by renowned local artist Peter Beadle and his family, the property reflects a deep respect for both nature and form.

The main residence is a stunning blend of exposed hardwood beams with a Hebel block and plaster finish. Known for its excellent insulation properties, Hebel pairs beautifully with the warmth of timber-trussed ceilings crafted from southern beech. Every material has been thoughtfully selected to evoke texture, warmth, and a deep connection to the surrounding landscape.

Designed for refined living and inspired entertaining, the home offers a dedicated guest wing with two private bedrooms - ideal for hosting family or friends. The master suite, positioned at the opposite end of the home, ensures serenity and seclusion. The kitchen and dining area open seamlessly into the enchanting ‘garden room’, blending indoor comfort with outdoor tranquility. A large music room and a separate lounge with a crackling open fire complete the home’s warm and welcoming living spaces.

Beyond the main residence, Tavistock continues to enchant.

A grand timber-trussed barn graces the property, accompanied by a charming artist’s studio and a private gallery—perfect for exhibitions, workshops, or a quiet creative retreat.

The gardens are truly magical. Traditional in design and rich with seasonal variety, they reveal new beauty throughout the year. Meandering paths lead through fragrant blooms and heritage plantings, creating an atmosphere of peace and quiet wonder.

Bathed in sunshine and surrounded by sweeping country views, Tavistock offers a sense of openness and light that enhances its tranquil rural charm.

Despite its secluded setting, Tavistock is ideally located - just a short walk to Ayrburn and only minutes from Arrowtown and Millbrook Resort and golf course.

Tavistock is more than a home. It’s an estate. A retreat. A legacy.

For those seeking a lifestyle steeped in nature, creativity, and character, there is simply nothing else like it.
