Gardener’s Eden: Solar-Powered Sanctuary

Picture waking to the gentle glow of morning light, being greeted by the chatter of pīwakawaka and tui song as you open bi-fold doors to sip tea on a sun-drenched, north-facing patio at the back of a beautifully restored Edwardian single-bay villa.

This is where timeless elegance meets modern comfort, creating a sanctuary that nurtures your love for nature and sustainable living every day. Perched above Dunedin in a tranquil, sun-soaked spot, this home offers sweeping views, wrap-around verandas at both front and back, and a seamless indoor-outdoor flow that invites the serene beauty of the outdoors in.

For active, nature-loving singles, couples, and growing families, this property is your haven. Step into a gardener’s paradise with thriving, established gardens bursting with perennial plantings, your own food forest with raised vegetable beds, lemons, feijoas, berries and even grapevines draped over the back porch. A timber-framed glasshouse beckons your green thumb, while the gardens back onto a regenerating native reserve and community garden; the Dalmore Reserve walking tracks are alive with the flitting of pīwakawaka and the nectar-sipping tūī. You’re just a short stroll from the vibrant Gardens shopping village and the iconic Dunedin Botanic Garden, blending urban convenience with a peaceful retreat.

This home is as sustainable as it is inviting, powered by solar panels, insulated and fitted with double-glazing, a wetback wood burner and 2 heat pumps for year-round comfort and efficiency. The light-filled open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area is perfect for family life as well as entertaining friends, with a sleek, practical kitchen that makes hosting a breeze. After a day enjoying your home and garden, or exploring Dunedin’s many attractions, relax in the romantic outdoor bathtub, lulled by the songs of native birds, or gather friends in the dedicated outdoor dining and entertainment area, framed by the peaceful surroundings.

More than a home, this is a lifestyle – a celebration of nature, health, and connection in one of Dunedin’s most sought-after locations. After three decades of cherishing this Dunedin sanctuary, the sellers, now bound for new horizons, seek a buyer who will love and nurture this home as deeply as they have.
