THE GOLDEN COMPASS
1 Ayrshire Lane, Dalefield / Speargrass Flat
Now Sold (February 2024)
At 645 m2, this substantial, high-quality home in heart of the Golden Triangle supports extended families, home-occupations, and a broad range of recreational pursuits..
The high-quality construction prioritises energy efficiency & sustainability with a state-of-the-art ground-source hydronic underfloor heating system, 280mm ECOBLOCK insulated walls, and argon-filled thermally-broken joinery. Timeless exterior design principles were applied in selecting cedar weatherboards, Spanish slate tile roofing, and a classic Otago schist feature chimney.
The spacious living areas consist of a formal lounge with a built-in wood fireplace and open-plan dining and living spaces. These are all surrounded by floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall sliding glass doors, making them perfect for entertaining all year round and enjoying the changing light and views on a daily basis.
The residence features flexible accommodation, including the main bedroom (with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe), a second bedroom (with ensuite), two guest suites (with walk-in-wardrobes, ensuites and kitchenettes), as well as an additional large room that could suit an office, nursery or conversion to 5th bedroom if required.
The property’s exterior and grounds are equally impressive, with a Jetmaster open fireplace in the front courtyard, a robust garden and lawn irrigation system, and ample off-street parking for guests. The grounds provide privacy, a platform for social gatherings, and endless opportunities to further enhance and develop in your own style.
In addition to the triple car, internal access garaging with substantial loft space (accessed by a permanent staircase), a separate 100 m2+ garage/workshop is currently configured with a double garage door and four smaller rooms for storage, woodwork, and metalwork hobbies. If additional vehicle storage is required, this building could be easily reconfigured to support four cars, bringing the total garaging to seven.

Following 9 months on the market with another agency, during a period of subdued market activity, I was somewhat disheartened and pondering whether to withdraw my property from sale and try again at a later date. It was during this time that I was introduced to Cam, who presented a compelling case for why I should reconsider this, and instead list the home with Oliver Road.
Cam began by addressing one of my primary concerns head-on: the financial investment required to present the property with a new campaign that would be sufficient to generate the desired outcome. He generously offered to absorb staging and marketing costs himself, a gesture that alleviated this concern. Cam also assured me of his proactive involvement in every step of preparing my property for the market. From improving the gardens and grounds, to staging and photography, he demonstrated a level of commitment and hands-on assistance that was both rare and reassuring.
His approach was backed by thorough research, which indicated that despite the overarching quiet in the market, there were still active buyers and opportunities to be seized. This insight gave me hope, and is a testament to Cam's deep understanding of the market dynamics.
Cam maintained a vibrant, optimistic personality throughout, coupled with a relentless "can do" attitude. In a time of some uncertainty and hesitation on my part, Cam's energy gave me the reassurance I needed to move forward.
Throughout the process, Cam maintained an exemplary level of communication, providing weekly updates without fail, along with strategy meetings where Cam shared the progress of the sale and suggested adjustments to our approach as required.
I am entirely satisfied with Cam and his firm, Oliver Road. His expertise, dedication, and positivity made the sale of my property remarkably smooth, and he demonstrated skilful negotiation that had a clear impact on the result. I would unequivocally recommend Cam's services to anyone looking to sell a luxury property in Queenstown.
