16.4886 Hectares - Set at the foot of the Rock and Pillar Range with commanding views across the Strath Taieri Gladbrook Station Homestead offers one of the region's most significant historic rural holdings.
Built in 1890's and positioned just 64km from Dunedin International Airport and 10km from Middlemarch, this substantial homestead and its surrounding buildings once formed the operational heart of Gladbrook Station - established in 1872 and historically linked to the wider Strath Taieri Run 213 before it was split up. As the residence of John Roberts, founder of Murray Roberts & Co., the station became an important centre of activity in the district, with shepherd teams, station hands, and numerous support staff requiring a broad range of buildings and infrastructure.
Today, this rare 16.4ha offering brings together an exceptional collection of original structures - including the grand homestead, a standalone billiard room, stone cottages, utility buildings, shearers' quarters, and a classic woolshed. Together they present a platform of scale and character that is increasingly hard to find. Beyond its historical significance, the property's layout and setting open the door to wide-ranging possibilities: a private rural residence, multi building accommodation venture, wedding or event destination, or even a campervan and motorhome park over. Gladbrook Homestead stands as a substantial, versatile estate ready to be shaped for its next purpose.
