Description
Set against the majestic backdrop of Lake Tekapo, this multi-level home presents a rare opportunity to restore a property that once truly shone. With a little tender love & care, there is clear potential to bring this residence back to its former beauty & create something special in an exceptional alpine setting. Current & past owners have enjoyed the benefits of promising returns under short-term rental … now it is your turn to cease this opportunity!
This north-facing multi-level home with a schist feature wall & timber trellises oozes charm, outdoor appeal & enjoys the serenity of the surroundings. Positioned on a generous corner section that was previously meticulously landscaped & lovingly maintained, the grounds provide a wonderful framework for rejuvenation—offering space, privacy & the chance to re-establish stunning outdoor living areas to complement the spacious home.
Wraparound decking & elevation of the living area ensures light, warmth & views of shimmering Lake Tekapo & its surrounding mountain vistas. The upper-level living area is further complimented by a high timber atrium feature ceiling & a log burner keeps it cosy during the cooler months
Take in majestic views from the functional kitchen with a walk-in pantry. Sliding doors into each of the 3 lower-level double bedrooms ensure private access & flexibility in living arrangements. With 2 bathrooms (one with shower & bath), 2 separate toilets & a separate laundry this home is geared to provide comfortable accommodation for family & friends. Whilst the multi-level layout adds character & versatility, a double garage provides practical storage & secure parking.
Whether you are seeking a rewarding renovation project, a permanent home, a holiday retreat or an investment to meet Tekapo's ever increasing demand for rentals in one of New Zealand’s most iconic destinations, this property represents an exciting prospect in ever-popular Lake Tekapo.
