GISBORNE SOUTH / TOOLERN VALE Rural Lifestyle Sanctuary on 27.5 acres

Positioned on 27.5 pristine acres on the cusp of Gisborne South, this exceptional estate delivers the ultimate turnkey rural lifestyle – where privacy, productivity, family living and equine passion come together in perfect harmony.

With no neighbouring homes in sight and panoramic valley views stretching the horizon, this is a property designed for those seeking space, serenity and self-sufficiency without compromise. Whether you’re raising a family, operating an equine venture, or embracing a flexible work-from-home lifestyle, this estate provides the infrastructure, comfort and seclusion to do it all effortlessly.

A long, tree-lined sealed driveway creates a grand yet welcoming arrival, leading to a residence surrounded by established, beautifully maintained gardens. The setting feels like a private retreat – peaceful, secure and entirely your own – yet remains within easy reach of schools, amenities and transport links.

The extensively renovated residence has been thoughtfully designed to support both relaxed family life and professional productivity. Multiple living zones provide flexibility for growing families, quiet retreat for teenagers, or dedicated home office spaces for those running a business remotely.

The formal living room with gas fireplace offers a peaceful work-from-home environment or reading lounge, while the step-up dining room (currently utilised as a study) demonstrates the home’s adaptability for remote work or consulting. As its heart, the expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and family domain fosters connection – a central gathering place after a day outdoors or in the saddle.

The designer kitchen, complete with twin Electrolux ovens, Asko dishwasher and walk-in pantry, caters beautifully to busy family life and large-scale entertaining alike. A separate rumpus or lounge with wood fireplace and picture windows captures uninterrupted sunrise views – an inspiring daily backdrop for both living and working.

Accommodation is equally generous, anchored by a luxurious main bedroom retreat offering privacy and calm at day’s end. Featuring a spa-like ensuite with oversized double shower, floor-to-ceiling tiling, separate toilet with barn door, walk-in-robe and extensive cabinetry, it feels like a private sanctuary within the home. Four spacious bedrooms in total, beautifully appointed bathrooms with stone finishes, double glazing throughout, and comprehensive heating and cooling ensure comfort across every season.

Outdoors, the property truly shines as a family haven. The large decked alfresco becomes a natural hub for gatherings, overlooking the swimming pool and pool house in complete privacy. An enclosed play space provides security for children to explore and play freely – a rare luxury in today’s world.
