5 Margaret Street, Gore, Southland

Set on a beautifully established 1,348m² section in one of Gore’s most admired pockets, this 270m² residence pairs enduring craftsmanship with exceptional proportions, offering the space and presence seldom found in today’s builds.

A wide entrance hall, exposed beams and timber detailing introduce the architectural personality that defines the home. The formal lounge - a spectacular vaulted space with full-height windows framing the gardens - is made for hosting, unwinding and celebrating life’s moments. An adjacent second living room captures afternoon sun, creating a relaxed everyday retreat with views across the manicured lawn.

The kitchen and dining zone is impressively scaled, rich in original timber cabinetry with a central island, expansive bench-tops and seamless indoor–outdoor flow through sliding doors. A substantial walk-in pantry, separate laundry with outdoor access, dedicated office nook and excellent storage throughout enhance the home’s practicality.

Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged upstairs. Three large bedrooms enjoy elevated outlooks, including a superb primary suite with dual-aspect windows and beautiful natural light. Bathrooms blend modern updates with retro charm: a sleek, brand new ensuite bathroom alongside a distinctive original family bathroom featuring a statement jetted bathtub - a reminder of the home’s bespoke craftsmanship.

Outdoors, the property continues to impress. The sweeping lawn, mature plantings and defined garden edges create a park-like atmosphere, while the covered terrace provides a sheltered entertaining area overlooking the grounds. Car enthusiasts and hobbyists will appreciate the enormous three-car internal-access garage - a rare asset offering secure parking, workshop potential and abundant storage. With schools, parks and Gore’s town centre only minutes away, the location pairs serenity with convenience.

A home of this calibre offers longevity, lifestyle and limitless opportunity. Contact Leigh Jackson to experience it for yourself.
