Gibbston Sanctuary

Whisper-quiet and sun-drenched, this exquisite pavilion-style residence is nestled in the heart of Gibbston Valley, offering the intoxicating feel of a Mediterranean retreat. Sheltered, private and beautifully composed, the home sits in elegant contrast to the valley’s dramatic rugged landscape.

Framed by meticulously curated gardens, an established olive grove and uninterrupted vineyard vistas, the residence exudes a refined aesthetic with a contemporary edge. Light-filled interiors and intentional sightlines create a seamless dialogue between indoors and out, inviting slow afternoons, long lunches and evening gatherings beneath a protected dark sky sanctuary.

Completed in late 2023, the spacious five-bedroom home is defined by generous open-plan living, burnished concrete floors, warm timber detailing and exceptional finishes throughout. The kitchen, dining and living zones extend effortlessly to expansive outdoor entertaining areas, where a feature swimming pool, spa, outdoor fire and schist rock landscaping set the scene for relaxed family living and memorable entertaining. A lofted mezzanine living space add further flexibility and retreat.

Complementing the main residence, a separate self-contained one-bedroom guest house provides ideal accommodation for family and friends or a valuable home-and-income opportunity. The triple garage is echoed by ample storage and a substantial mezzanine office above, perfectly suited for remote work or creative pursuits.

Tucked discreetly behind the prestigious Peregrine Winery, renowned for its iconic winged roof, award-winning cellar door and historic cottages, the property enjoys direct access to cycle trails and the Kawarau River. Surrounded by some of the region’s most esteemed vineyards and moments from Arrowtown, this is a lifestyle of rare beauty, balance and sophistication.
