Property Description

Prepare to have your heart captured from the moment you arrive.

Situated on one of the best sites in Arrowtown's historic dress circle, Meg Cottage is just a few 100 metres to the heart of the village.

Dating back to the 1870s, Meg Cottage was extended over time and then extensively restored and upgraded for our dedicated Vendors in 2020.

The meticulous restoration (by Trinity Construction) incorporated craftsmanship, quality materials and was finished to a high standard. The task involved substantial upgrades to the construction, a new roof, glazing, insulation, plumbing and wiring.

The cottage now offers a sunny living room, combined dining room/kitchen, two double bedrooms and a bathroom plus separate toilet. A third double bedroom is found across the courtyard in another character building and the laundry is contained within an upgraded former chaff shed.

There is air-conditioning for winter warmth or cooling in summer.

The generous 709 sqm land parcel is comprised in two titles and the elevation offers superb views and fabulous sunshine year-round. The gorgeous vistas include colourful Autumn leaves, snow-capped mountain peaks in Winter and verdant greenery in Spring and Summer.

The picturesque gardens include established plantings and a glorious walnut tree. There are multiple areas to sit outside and take in the ambience.

The hard work has been done so you'll have more time to make the most of residing within our beautiful region - skiing nearby, hiking the Arrowtown Hills and a short distance to fabulous eateries and entertainment venues.

This gem is sure to be an enjoyable home (ideal for discerning downsizers) or a superb holiday home to come and go as you please. Explore options to add further improvements (subject to Council consent).

If you're looking for a beautifully upgraded, quintessential Arrowtown cottage with fairytale vibes, then we strongly recommend an in-person viewing.
