Don't miss your chance to own one of the Manawatu's finest rural character homesteads. Set on 8.8ha of rolling countryside with established gardens and mature trees this exquisite 365sqm homestead just oozes absolute quality and style. Boasting generously proportioned sitting room, formal dining, library and 5 bedrooms, Otawa offers space for both modern family living and entertaining on a grand scale.
Tastefully renovated in keeping with its Edwardian heritage this stunning residence proudly displays all the character of yesteryear. The homestead was built in 1914 for Robert Pattison, a wealthy Scottish farmer. No expense was spared. A saw mill was built to mill all the native timber used to construct the house including the rich rimu wall panelling and doors. Italian plaster craftsmen were employed to create the unique art nouveau designs on the walls and ceilings and the numerous beautiful stained glass and leadlight windows were produced by English master glaziers.
The saw mill is gone and a modern American barn stands in its place, but other historic outbuildings still stand. These include a cherry packing shed and an old forge with enormous bellows. Down at the stream are the remains of a totara water wheel with a stone dam used to generate electricity long before power came to the Otawhao Valley.
Otawa is an absolute must to view today.
