The Legacy of 1918 Pass through the welcoming glass doors of twenty-nine Otau Mountain Road and step into a living piece of Clevedon’s history. This is more than a house; it is a legacy. Built in 1918 by the current owner’s father, this magnificent villa has been held in the same family for over a century, preserving the soul and craftsmanship of a bygone era. As you walk the wide central hallway, the home’s character speaks through its high-stud ceilings and the rich, warm glow of New Zealand native timber architraves and window surrounds. Every room feels intentional, anchored by original features. Space to Grow, Room to Dream With four spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms, the floor plan offers the generous proportions typical of a grand villa. The large farmhouse kitchen serves as a social hub, flowing seamlessly into the dining and family area, then moving through to a formal lounge where a cozy fireplace invites long winter evenings. Hidden upstairs is the home’s ”secret weapon”—a massive rumpus and games room. Whether you envision a primary suite that rivals a luxury hotel, a dedicated work-from-home sanctuary, or the ultimate teenage retreat, this expansive space is a blank canvas ready to be developed. The Pinnacle of Clevedon: While the villa captures the heart, the land captures the imagination. Outside, the magic truly begins. Ascend to the property’s peak to discover a vast, flat plateau offering breathtaking three hundred sixty-degree views. Whether you build your dream estate, a world-class stable complex, or even relocate the original villa to capture the vista—marrying 1918 character with the finest views in the district—the possibilities are as endless as the horizon.
