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 conceived by architect John McCulloch to sit lightly within the landscape - like a marquee in the middle of a field. The result is a timeless and distinctive home featuring tinted concrete block cladding, deep roof overhangs, and warm timber detailing that flows from the exterior eaves through to the vaulted interior ceilings. Generous glazing and high stud spaces fill the home with natural light while beautifully framing the rural and mountain outlook.

Designed for relaxed living and easy entertaining, the galley-style kitchen connects seamlessly to the dining space and 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 required. 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.

Beautifully maintained, the home reflects the quality and design of its era, 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 two decades of careful planting have created a series of established, sheltered outdoor spaces to enjoy throughout the seasons. Mature specimen trees provide welcome summer shade, while garden paths, hidden pockets of planting and seasonal colour make 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 garden areas are rabbit fenced, and the property is serviced by a shared bore water supply.

Peaceful, private and positioned to capture the very best of the basin outlook, Ranginui offers a rare opportunity to secure an architecturally designed lifestyle property in a truly special Wanaka setting.

IMPORTANT: When attending the open home, please be aware the uphill driveway entrance is one way. Please check carefully that no vehicles are coming down before proceeding up the driveway.
