Description

A home of grace, grandeur and architectural refinement Welcome to Linwood, an extraordinary 1930s Mandeno & Fraser–designed residence that stands proudly elevated above the city, quietly tucked down a private lane yet moments from the CBD, Roslyn village, and Māori Hill amenities. This is a home that blends architectural heritage with sophisticated modern living, beautifully renovated, meticulously curated, and presented with absolute elegance. Set upon an established 2,126sqm landscaped estate,Linwood immediately impresses. Its distinctive roofline rises above the trees as you enter the private drive, offering a rare sense of seclusion, community, and timeless character. Inside, the home unfolds through a spacious, welcoming entrance foyer, an introduction to the generous living zones that define the residence. To one side, a gracious lounge anchored by a marble-surround wood burner feels intimately connected to the garden through its expansive picture windows. Morning light pours in here, capturing tranquil peeks of the harbour and city scape. To the opposite side, a beautifully formed open-plan kitchen, dining, and second living area provides an inviting hub for modern family life. The second lounge mirrors the first with its own feature fireplace, while the dining space opens to private west-facing deck. The chef’s kitchen is superbly appointed with composite stone benchtops, brass hardware perfectly paired with moody blue cabinetry, and exceptional storage. A former safe has been cleverly transformed into a wine nook, and the walk-in pantry/laundry combination offers clever practicality. Comfort throughout the home is enhanced by a ducted heat pump system, two matching wood burners, underfloor heating in both bathrooms, substantial insulation, and gas hot water. Downstairs also includes a beautifully finished fourth bedroom or office with garden views, serviced by an elegant powder room, ideal for guests or working from home. Upstairs, a generous landing forms a open plan third living space. Three double bedrooms complete this level; the master enjoys a private ensuite, while a second bedroom

features a walk-in wardrobe. The family bathroom is a true retreat with bespoke tiles, a soaking tub, a walk-in shower, and underfloor heating. Outdoors, Linwood’s grounds carry a sense of manor-like poise, lush lawns, mature trees, structured planting, and refined bluestone accents weave together to create an elegant, private estate surrounding the home. The paved front terrace offers a sheltered, sun-filled place to relax while overlooking the established greenery. Parking is well accommodated, with a single garage, a large carport, and ample off-street space for multiple vehicles. A showpiece when first crafted, and a showpiece still today, Linwood is a rare offering of history, beauty, and luxurious modern living in one of Dunedin’s most admired city-fringe locations.

NZ has strict biosecurity laws — importing food, plants, or outdoor gear can result in heavy fines. The work-life balance is exceptional, but the job market is small and remote from everywhere.

Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.

1

Understand the buying rules

Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.

3

Plan your finances

Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.

4

Know your tax obligations

US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.

Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.

6

Run the full checklist

Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
