Kinloch Estate combines prestige living with powerful income potential in the heart of Omarama, one of New Zealand's most picturesque and fast-evolving lifestyle destinations. With Business 6 zoning allowing for visitor accommodation and select commercial activities, this rare offering provides a unique opportunity to establish a boutique accommodation venture, a high-end retreat, or simply enjoy an exquisite private sanctuary with future flexibility. The invite is extended for a discerning new owner who values sophistication, space, and opportunity.

Perfectly positioned beside the Alps to Ocean Cycle Trail and an easy walk will see you at world-renowned Omarama Gliding Club, Omarama Hot tubs and a selection of hospitality venues, while Lake Benmore and Lake Ohau are a short commute. The location attracts a growing flow of tourists year after year, with increasing demand for premium short-stay accommodation.

Every window of this 378sqm (more or less) crafted home has been thoughtfully positioned to capture breathtaking mountain views. Built from schist, cedar, and native Rimu, it blends natural materials with contemporary design. Beyond the prominent cedar entry door, a soaring foyer with raked Rimu ceilings, and a striking schist-framed wine cellar immediately sets the tone.

Underfloor heating powered by a Firebird diesel boiler ensures all-year comfort, with bathrooms heated independently. The interplay of stone, timber, and light throughout creates a warm and refined rural elegance.

The home opens into spacious open-plan living with a seamless kitchen, dining, and living layout, complemented by a separate formal living room with a feature log fire. Double stacker doors extend the living areas to a 96sqm (more or less) covered outdoor entertaining space with a built-in BBQ and fridge.

The master suite includes an ensuite and a walk-in wardrobe, with the ensuite cleverly accessible from an adjoining bedroom - ideal for guests. Two additional double bedrooms, an office, mudroom, linen room, and an integrated triple garage complete the thoughtful layout, with a total approximate roof area of 478sqm.

A separate garage and workshop provide further space for vehicles, storage, or creative pursuits. The private spa with a waterfall feature offers a tranquil retreat under the stars.

Set on approximately 2.01 hectares within Kinloch Estate, the property features established gardens, a tree-lined driveway, post-and-rail paddocks, and a private bore with town service connection. Business 6 zoning adds flexibility for visitor accommodation or boutique commercial development while preserving a premium lifestyle environment.

This is a unique opportunity to secure one of Omarama's most distinguished properties. To appreciate all that is on offer, this must be viewed.
