Étoile By Mason And Wales

Elegant by form, exceptional by function, pride of place by position. Timelessly designed by renowned architects Mason and Wales, welcome to Étoile.

Spanning 2.429 hectares with cinematic views sweeping across the Taieri Plain, Étoile offers an irresistible mix of contemporary country living with a distinct taste of Tuscany. Beautiful gardens, rolling paddocks and alfresco entertaining create a wonderful connection to the surrounding landscape, yet remain close to urban conveniences.

The formal entrance opens into a masterfully scaled open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, where high ceilings and expansive double-glazed windows frame the landscape and invite an abundance of natural light. The timeless kitchen features rich timber cabinetry, engineered stone benchtops and quality appliances, combining elegance with everyday functionality.

Living flows naturally outdoors to wrap-around decks and a sheltered courtyard. An all-weather, glass-covered pergola creates an inviting setting for long lunches and summer evenings with an Aperol Spritz in hand, while the outdoor fireplace and wood-fired pizza oven bring the warmth and flavour of Tuscany to entertaining at home.

Accommodation is equally well considered, with three generous bedrooms complemented by flexible multi-purpose spaces that adapt effortlessly to visiting family, working from home or simply finding a peaceful place to retreat.

Upstairs, the master suite is spectacular. Elevated to capture panoramic views across the Taieri, it features a generous open-plan ensuite with underfloor heating, stone vanity, tiled shower and bath. True to its name, Étoile, French for star, is spellbinding by night, with the elevated aspect offering a remarkable outlook to the night sky.

A second upstairs bedroom is ideally suited as either a bedroom or office. Downstairs, a generous bedroom connects directly with the courtyard and gardens, while a substantial multi-purpose room has its own separate entrance, custom cabinetry, abundant storage and excellent versatility.

Comfort has been carefully considered throughout, with a gas fire, three heat pumps and underfloor heating to the kitchen and bathrooms. Excellent insulation and double glazing are complemented by luxurious 100% New Zealand wool Cavalier Bremworth carpet, French linen silk-lined drapes, considered lighting and quality fixtures, adding to the home’s understated sense of luxury.

Outside, mature landscaped gardens, lawns and gently rolling paddocks create a beautifully established country setting. Two 23,000-litre in-ground concrete water tanks provide substantial water storage, while generous parking and a sealed driveway add everyday practicality.
Positioned to enjoy the freedom and space of country living, Étoile remains well connected to Mosgiel, Dunedin, the airport and the wider Otago region.

Rarely does a property unite architectural pedigree, beautiful land and such a commanding outlook with such ease. From long summer afternoons in the Tuscan-inspired courtyard to evenings beneath the stars, Étoile offers an exceptional country lifestyle on the doorstep of the city.

A distinctive home, a remarkable setting and a lifestyle to be experienced for yourself.
