Crafted with Character: Wild in Wanaka

You will not find another home quite like this. Purpose-built to resemble the Wild West, this American ranch-style residence is truly one of a kind. Crafted with imagination and detail, it weaves recycled materials such as old power poles, bridge beams and sawmill blades into its design, creating an authentic and enduring character that speaks to its handcrafted origins. Every corner tells a story, and every feature reflects the many hands that came together to build it. The generous 450 sq m (more or less) layout offers flexibility and space for families, collectors, or those who simply love to entertain. Two separate garages provide abundant room for collectible cars, recreational gear, or large-scale storage. An extra-large, drive through courtyard provides extensive off-street parking making this property as practical as it is distinctive. Inside, you’ll discover multiple living zones, a media room with feature fireplace, and bedrooms designed for both comfort and individuality. A loft space accommodates seven with built-in beds – perfect for guests or family gatherings. Beyond the walls, a boardwalk with a river feature complement the generous outdoor living areas, and native plantings enrich the sense of place, while the north-facing aspect frames views of Mount Iron, Roys Peak, and the surrounding landscape. Alongside the main residence, a purpose-built 50 sq m entertaining pavilion (completed in 2020) elevates the home even further. Equipped with a state-of-the-art kitchen, pizza oven, and industrial-grade cooktop, it’s designed to host everything from intimate dinners to large celebrations, seamlessly blending functionality with flair. This property is more than a home – it’s an experience, a lifestyle, and a work of art. Deadline Sale: Closes 2:00 p.m. Thursday 12 March 2026 (unless sold prior)...
