Nestled at the base of Coronet Peak, this exceptional site is now home to another stunning Mason & Wales residence.
Once the location of a humble farmhouse, the site has been thoughtfully reimagined, with much of the original landscape and established gardens lovingly preserved and repurposed. Driving down the tree-lined driveway, past open fields and tranquil ponds, there's an immediate sense that this home truly belongs here. Inside, the atmosphere continues to reflect a deep sense of place. While unmistakably new, the interiors echo the charm and warmth of a traditional rural home. Rich oak doors, hand-crafted wardrobes, and a striking timber staircase fill the air with that unmistakable scent of real wood. These natural elements are perfectly paired with a calming palette of creams, soft blues, and gentle greys. A hidden door reveals a secret room—a delightful touch of craftsmanship that adds mystery and whimsy. The dedicated library or office space is lined with bespoke joinery shelving, providing the perfect showcase for a lifetime of books, achievements, and travel treasures. At the heart of the home lies a dream entertainer’s kitchen: a modern interpretation of the classic farmhouse style, complete with a feature schist wall that echoes the exterior’s stonework and ties the entire aesthetic together. This home wraps you in a quiet sense of warmth and peace—the kind of place where you can sip coffee by the window and forget the chaos of the outside world. It's not just a house; it’s a sanctuary.
