Ein Zeitloses Anwesen Am Arrow River

Rich in character and beautifully crafted, this distinctive Arrow Junction property brings together the charm of an original stone cottage and the comforts of contemporary country living. Set within 6,190 sq m (more or less) of established grounds bordering the Arrow River reserve, 33 Rapley Close enjoys a private setting just a short drive from historic Arrowtown.

Thoughtfully extended to a design by architect David Stringer, the home reveals something special at every turn. Original stone walls sit alongside reclaimed ironbark, Oregon pine, cedar and schist, creating a warmth and character that invite you to settle in. The pavilion-style living room is an impressive gathering space, with soaring ceilings, exposed timber trusses, a distinctive circular window and a substantial fireplace. Through generous glazing, the gardens and views towards Coronet Peak become part of everyday life.

The modern country-style kitchen sits at the heart of the home, connecting the original cottage with the contemporary addition. A freestanding range cooker, substantial island benchtop and adjoining scullery provide for easy entertaining, while a wide opening window looks out to the courtyard. For quieter moments, the cottage living room offers a cosy retreat beneath a timber-lined ceiling, surrounded by original stone detailing.

Three bedrooms and two bathrooms accommodate family and guests within the main residence. The generous primary suite opens directly to the gardens and features exposed timber beams, plantation shutters and an en-suite. The converted stables offer further accommodation, with one bedroom, a sitting area, kitchen facilities and bathroom amenities a welcoming space for visiting family and friends.

Those with a passion for cars, projects or outdoor pursuits will appreciate the substantial detached garaging and workshop complex, which also incorporates an office, laundry and service areas. A separate barn with approximately 95.5 sq m of ground-floor space and an upper-level loft adds further room for storage, recreation or further development.

The grounds are every bit as engaging as the home. Mature trees, orchard plantings and schist stonework frame generous lawns and sheltered places to sit. Long lunches beneath the ornate pergola or evenings around the pizza oven, there is a space for every occasion. A swimming pool and freestanding outdoor fireplace add to the enjoyment.

With the Arrow River reserve on its boundary and the region’s wineries, golf courses and trails within easy reach, this is a property that invites you to slow down, gather those closest to you and make the most of a remarkable setting.

Properties with this depth of character and versatility are seldom found. To experience the setting and discover all that 33 Rapley Close has to offer, contact Justine or Ben to arrange your private viewing.
