The Journey Home

Some homes reveal themselves immediately. Others ask you to slow down.

Beyond the mature trees and gently winding driveway lies a property set on approximately 5.46 hectares that has quietly evolved over generations. Surrounded by established gardens and open lawns, this welcoming country residence possesses a rare sense of peace, privacy and permanence that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.

Rather than demanding attention, it rewards those who take the time to appreciate it. Every mature tree, garden path and outbuilding contributes to a setting that feels deeply connected to its landscape, creating a home that is both authentic and unmistakably Canterbury.

Complementing the residence are three substantial outbuildings that have quietly supported both creative and home based businesses over the years. Offering remarkable flexibility, they provide space for workshops, studios, craftsmanship, storage or those seeking the freedom to work from home. They are not simply sheds; they are spaces where ideas have been realised, businesses have grown and creativity has flourished.

It is this quiet versatility that makes the property so compelling. Equally suited to family life, creative pursuits or simply enjoying the space that surrounds you, it offers a lifestyle that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.

Some properties are remembered for their architecture. Others for their location. This one is remembered for something much more difficult to create. A feeling.

From the moment you arrive beneath the trees, there is an unmistakable sense that this is a place where life has unfolded naturally over many years, and where the next owners have the opportunity to continue that story in their own way.

Auction: 12:00 p.m. Wednesday 16th September 2026 (unless sold prior) at NZSIR Canterbury, 60 Cashel Street, Christchurch
