Originally designed by architect Jarrod Midgley during his time with David McBride Architects, and later extended under his direction, 11 Short Street is an exceptional Bannockburn residence where timeless Central Otago architecture, generous proportions and an unmistakable sense of place come together.
Thoughtfully enhanced through a series of considered architectural additions, the home has evolved into a substantial lifestyle property offering approximately 422.6 sq m of enclosed living space. The continuity of architectural vision has ensured each addition integrates naturally with the original home, preserving its character while creating a residence perfectly suited to modern living and entertaining.
Steep gabled rooflines, extensive schist, warm timber and steel detailing draw inspiration from Central Otago’s historic miners’ cottages. The scale, craftsmanship and contemporary execution create a distinctive architectural statement, while remaining deeply connected to its setting.
At the heart of the home, soaring raked timber-lined ceilings, skylights and extensive glazing create a remarkable sense of space and light. The contemporary kitchen anchors the open-plan living and dining area, while expansive windows frame far-reaching views across the surrounding Bannockburn landscape.
Multiple living spaces provide room to gather or retreat, with schist fireplaces bringing warmth, character and a strong connection to the home’s Central Otago setting. Exceptionally well equipped for the region’s cooler months, multiple fires, heat pumps and underfloor heating to selected areas provide excellent year-round comfort.
Large bi-fold and stack slider doors create an effortless connection to the substantial covered outdoor entertaining area. Featuring hardwood decking, roof glazing and an impressive open schist fireplace, this sheltered space has been designed for year-round enjoyment, from long summer lunches to relaxed winter evenings.
One of the home’s greatest strengths is its exceptionally versatile accommodation. A dedicated accommodation wing includes a bunk room and additional guest spaces, while a separate private guest wing at the opposite end of the residence features its own breakfast area and en-suite. This thoughtful separation provides excellent flexibility for extended family and guests.
Adding further appeal, the property holds consent for short-term visitor accommodation, giving buyers greater flexibility in how the home may be enjoyed or utilised. Whether used as a substantial permanent residence, a Central Otago retreat or an accommodation offering, the property can adapt to a variety of lifestyles and requirements.
Beautifully established grounds sit naturally within the surrounding landscape, while the outdoor spa provides the perfect place to relax and take in the expansive views. Generous garaging and off-street parking further enhance the practicality of the property.
Positioned in the heart of one of Central Otago’s most sought-after lifestyle destinations, 11 Short Street is close to Bannockburn’s renowned wineries and cellar doors, scenic walking and cycling trails and village amenities, with Cromwell only minutes away.
Architecturally designed properties offering this level of space, flexibility and connection to Bannockburn are seldom available. Distinctive, established and beautifully considered, 11 Short Street presents an exceptional opportunity to secure a remarkable Central Otago residence created for generous living and effortless entertaining.
