Expression of Interest Closing 19th March 2026 at 4pm A sanctuary amongst nature on the edge of Wombat State Forest, this exceptional family property delivers a sense of escape that feels both grounding and inspiring, set across approximately 10.32 acres, with towering eucalypts and European plantings, an ornamental dam, and a striking boathouse that once served as a pottery studio. Expertly constructed by respected local builder Ewald Jeske, the home reflects his reputation for quality and attention to detail, combining solid double brick and brick veneer construction with character and a connection to its remarkable setting. Interiors have been carefully updated while preserving the original design's strength, with soaring ceilings drawing northern light deep into the living areas as the day progresses. A central kitchen has been refurbished for modern family life and connects seamlessly with open living and dining zones, where a wood-burning fire enhances the outlook through floor-to-ceiling glass. Cedar timber accents, hardwood-lined ceilings, and polished blackbutt floors introduce warmth, while French doors open to an impressive sunroom with a glass roof and double-glazed bifold doors that open to a full-width deck overlooking the lake, boardwalk, and boathouse beyond. Four generous bedrooms include a main suite with a walk-in robe and stylishly renovated ensuite, set privately at one end, while a second grand living zone with extraordinary ceiling heights and a wood heater offers flexibility for growing families, currently utilised as a primary bedroom with an adjoining study/dressing room. A newly completed family bathroom features terrazzo finishes, statement bath and feature tiling, and is accompanied by a powder room, mudroom, and a spacious laundry. Two fenced paddocks, a dam-fed irrigation system, roof sprinklers, split-system heating and cooling, a chicken coop, and multiple outbuildings further enhance the appeal of this spectacular property, set adjacent to the forest, with hiking and horse riding trails on the doorstep, and just a ten-minute drive from the heart of Gisborne.
