Simply Splendid - Location, Lifestyle & Luxury
Tucked away in a leafy enclave, well-removed from the hustle and bustle, this sublime private sanctuary offers a rare combination of architectural design, natural surroundings and effortless wellbeing.
Designed by First Light Architectural Studio, this thoughtfully conceived home embraces calm, comfort and a cohesive way of living. Quality materials and considered details feature throughout, including Finnish Birch linings, Marmoleum flooring, Terra Lana insulation, diesel heating, Argon-filled PVC window joinery and doors, plus wind-sensor electric blinds and awnings.
The beautifully appointed interior includes a custom kitchen with stone benchtop, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, creating a home that is both stylish and highly functional.
Outside, extensive Abodo decking and terracing extend the living spaces into the surrounding park-like grounds. A separate support building incorporates a sauna and spa, laundry and garaging, hobbies and additional storage while a further detached campervan shed with automatic door provides for one's boat, camper or caravan.
Set amongst other quality properties and adjoining the Waimate Creek, the expansive grounds provide a wonderfully green and open outlook that perfectly complements the home. Privacy, space and a strong connection to nature are hallmarks of this exceptional property.
And then there is the location. Town is just a short drive or an enjoyable stroll away, while Waimate itself provides an enviable central base for exploring the Waitaki hydro lakes, Oamaru, Timaru and Central Otago.
A prosperous country town with a friendly, welcoming community, Waimate is experiencing a genuine renaissance and offering an increasingly attractive lifestyle for those seeking space, community and convenience.
Come and discover what locals already know - Waimate is wonderful, and deservedly known as the Centre of the South.

How we worked this out
| Council valuation, Jun 2025 | $880,000 |
|---|---|
| Market movement in Waimate District since the council valuation | +0.7% |
| Apartments and houses in Waimate District | +0.2% |
| How Waimate sells against council values | +0.1% |
| Homes of this age in Waimate | +0.9% |
| Homes in this price range | −0.2% |
| Land as a share of the value | +0.3% |
| Nearby recent sales (15) | −0.6% |
| Our estimate | $893,000 |
We start from the council's rating valuation, move it by how sales in the area have moved since against their own council values, then by how properties like this one, nearby sales have done against the same arithmetic. Each step is an average of real sales. Tested every month against sales we had not seen: half land within about 6% of our estimate, and about 8 in 10 within the range. This is an automated estimate, not a registered valuation.

Unclaimed
Nobody is tracking this property yet
If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.
Free. Takes about a minute.
We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.
What claiming gets you
1One live recordCouncil valuation, title details and registered interests, kept current rather than gathered again every time you need them.
2Your lending in the pictureAdd what you owe, or connect the bank, and the equity and LVR stop being a calculation you redo by hand.
3Providers compete for itPut the mortgage, the insurance and the power out to people who want the business — on your terms, when you ask.
4Everything else you ownOne search finds other titles in your name and in companies you are a director of.
Zoning and hazards

What could you build here?
See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
