17 Mooney Road, Dalefield

Privately positioned on a quiet lane in Dalefield, this is a property where established gardens lead the story and a refined rural lifestyle follows naturally.

The 4,297 square metres of beautifully established grounds unfold in layers, creating a sense of privacy and permanence that is increasingly rare in this location. Stone-paved pathways wind past flowering beds alive with seasonal colour, white roses frame a sun-drenched deck with corten fireplace and lawns stretch beneath mature trees. A willow offers dappled shade, oaks anchor the lower reaches of the site and reserve land on one boundary enhances the rural ambience. Terraced landscaping rises gently to a spa, while covered vegetable beds and a glasshouse allow owners to fully enjoy the growing season.

The home itself is deeply welcoming. A skylit entranceway and wood-panelled hallway set a timeless tone. Recent renovations, including fresh interior paintwork and new joinery, have been thoughtfully completed to enhance comfort and longevity while preserving the home’s rural soul.

The updated kitchen is both practical and a pleasure to work in, with a five-burner gas cooktop, ample storage and a garden outlook. It opens directly to a patio and herb beds, reinforcing the easy connection between house and land.

Open plan and filled with light, the living area is spacious and bathed in northerly sun, framing open views toward Coronet Peak and the surrounding alpine landscape. Bi-fold doors extend the space outdoors, while a window seat and open fire add warmth and personality.

Accommodation includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms in the main home. The master suite has direct access to a sheltered courtyard, a walk-through wardrobe and tiled ensuite. A separate sleepout or office with ensuite provides flexibility for guests, work or extended family. There is also scope to extend or further enhance the home, offering exciting potential for the future.

Additional features include a carpeted, ply-lined double garage with built-in storage, extensive parking, woodshed and a rabbit-fenced boundary. The land slopes gently down to Hunter Road, where secondary access and a carport add further convenience.

This is Dalefield at its most authentic - a property defined by space, sunlight and serenity, in a tightly held location where opportunities like this are seldom available.
