Lynwood Homestead

Situated on four hectares (10 acres) of land, this large character homestead (circa 1929) was part of the historic Lynwood Station which in turn was part of the larger Lake Te Anau Station established by Donald Hankinson in 1856. Boasting five double and two single bedrooms, the homestead has potential for a boutique bed and breakfast operation that would support the booming tourism market that Te Anau is experiencing. With open plan kitchen, dining and living areas, it affords space to entertain. The north facing family living area and sunroom looking out toward the garden, offer places to curl up with a book or just soak in the atmosphere and relax. Two woodburners make the homestead cosy on colder days and nights, along with feature fire places in some of the bedrooms. Many period features throughout add to the welcoming country homestead experience, including wood panel wardrobes, bay windows and a generously sized hallway. Additional features to note within the homestead are a laundry, a separate toilet, an ensuite off the master bedroom and the family bathroom.

Outside of the homestead there is a workshop and garaging with power and hot water. Along with an older double garage, a garden shed/potting shed and a hen house, the garden is well established with mature feature specimen trees and large areas of recently planted natives. Tunnel house, separate orchard and a large vegetable garden adorn this property too which if utlised could further support the potential for a boutique bed and breakfast operation.

There is currently one large paddock that could be easily subdivided, and a small stream flows through the property. Located on the main Te Anau Queenstown highway approximately 9km from the bustling tourist Te Anau township, it affords many possibilities and opportunities, or just experience a unique Fiordland lifestyle with the family.
