Wanaka 475 Wanaka-Luggate Highway

Welcome to Ranginui, meaning Big Sky - a name that perfectly captures the wide, sweeping skies and panoramic views enjoyed from this special lifestyle property overlooking the Wanaka Basin and surrounding mountain ranges.

Set on 4.007 hectares of established, private land, this architect-designed home was created in 2001 by architect John McCulloch, with a design brief he described as creating a home that sat lightly within the landscape - like a marquee in the middle of a field. The result is a timeless, distinctive home featuring tinted concrete block cladding, deep roof overhangs, and timber detailing that flows from the exterior eaves through to the vaulted interior ceilings. Large windows and high stud spaces fill the home with natural light while perfectly framing the rural and mountain outlook.

The home is designed for relaxed living and easy entertaining, with a galley-style kitchen connecting through to the dining space and a sunny morning breakfast area with window seat - the perfect place to start the day taking in the views. A partially separated living area provides both connection and separation when needed. The home offers four bedrooms in total, including the upper-level master suite complete with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, along with additional bedrooms and a den off the living area providing flexibility for family living or working from home.

The home reflects the quality and design of the era, and has been beautifully maintained, offering buyers the opportunity to enjoy as is, or further enhance over time to suit their own style.

The grounds are a true standout feature of Ranginui. Over 20 years of careful planting has created a series of established, sheltered outdoor spaces to enjoy year-round. Mature specimen trees provide beautiful summer shade, with garden paths, hidden pockets of planting, and seasonal colour making the grounds a genuine pleasure to explore. Productive areas include six vegetable plots, fruit orchard plantings, nut trees, and a large paddock suitable for stock. The established garden areas are protected by rabbit-proof fencing and the property serviced by a shared bore water supply.

Peaceful, private and only a short drive to Wanaka township, Ranginui offers a rare opportunity to secure an architecturally designed lifestyle property in a spectacular setting, with unforgettable Big Sky views.
