39 Old School Road, Lower Shotover, Queenstown-Lakes, Otago

Set quietly at the end of a lane, 39 Old School Road reveals itself as a rare and compelling offering, one hectare of considered, semi-rural living with both immediate comfort and potential future promise.

The home is a study in intelligent design and enduring materials. North-facing and bathed in natural light, it captures passive solar warmth through triple glazing and an insulated rib-raft slab, complemented by hydraulic underfloor heating, a Stovax fireplace, and photovoltaic solar panels. The result is a home that feels grounded, calm, and remarkably efficient to run. Solid double timber construction, both internally and externally clad, lends a sense of permanence and quiet strength.

Living spaces are generous and well-resolved, anchored by a substantial kitchen with a butler’s pantry, flowing easily to the outdoors. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a double garage provide comfortable accommodation, while the scale of the land offers genuine scope to expand or reimagine, should you wish.

Outdoors, the setting is both curated and effortless. Extensive and established native plantings, fruit trees, vegetable beds, and a tapestry of birdlife create a private, ever-changing landscape. Mountain views form a constant backdrop, grounding the home firmly within its remarkable setting. The land itself offers flexibility, whether to further develop, or simply enjoy the space and self-sufficiency it affords.

And then there is Queenstown. Renowned for its alpine beauty and invigorating lifestyle, it is a place where days begin with possibility and end in stillness. From lakeside walks to mountain pursuits, this is a region that rewards those who value both energy and retreat in equal measure.

Whether you’re seeking a peaceful permanent base, a low-maintenance retreat, or land with future possibilities, this is a property that invites both ease and imagination. Available for sale for the first time.
