Overview

'Summerlands' - Circa 1890's...

Steeped in history and elegance, 'Summerlands' is widely regarded as one of Alexandra's most distinguished landmark period homes. Set on an expansive half-acre allotment in a quiet cul-de-sac, the property enjoys a prized in-town position just moments from the vibrant main street and its celebrated café culture. Beautifully updated while respecting its heritage, the residence showcases timeless character, generous proportions and exceptional versatility. Currently operating as a successful private hotel, 'Summerlands' offers a rare and exciting opportunity for entertainers, entrepreneurs or families seeking a refined lifestyle retreat within town limits. The main residence features five spacious bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, complemented by a separate family bathroom. An inviting country kitchen flows seamlessly into a cosy sitting room, while a large main living area provides an ideal space for relaxation and entertaining. Soaring ceilings, original period details and picturesque garden views create a warm and atmospheric interior throughout. Adding further flexibility, a detached caretaker's suite offers excellent options for guest accommodation, multi-generational living, or use as a private retreat or studio. Outdoors, the home continues to impress with a substantial paved entertaining area surrounded by established trees, delivering privacy and a tranquil setting for gatherings or quiet enjoyment. A circular white stone driveway and abundant parking ensure effortless access for residents and visitors alike. *Inspection by appointment.
