The Ultimate Race-Day Address

A grandstand perspective comes with the privilege of ownership at this purpose-built residence, where a front-row outlook across Riccarton Racecourse places the spectacle of racing within the comforts of home.

Created in 2020 by owners with a lifelong passion for the sport, the home's design capitalises on its 546 sq m (more or less) corner position overlooking the straight and sweeping bend, with trackside views reaching almost every room and giving entertaining an extraordinary sporting dimension.

The upper floor is the home's social showpiece, leading with a modern kitchen and generous walk-in pantry that support open-plan dining and living, where extensive glazing gives the racing action an uninterrupted place in the picture. A seamless connection to the balcony takes race-day hospitality outdoors, with glass balustrading preserving the panorama and giving a prime vantage point to follow the field. The master suite shares the elevated outlook, pairing a walk-in wardrobe with a fully tiled en-suite, and a separate powder room provides top-floor convenience.

The ground floor introduces a separate second lounge, opening to a covered barbecue terrace that gives entertaining another destination beyond the main event upstairs, while offering the freedom to become a fourth bedroom if preferred. Alongside two ground-floor bathrooms, two double bedrooms have direct access to separate outdoor spaces, with the guest suite capturing racing views from multiple directions, complemented by a walk-in wardrobe, en-suite, private patio and independent access, allowing guests to enjoy their own private quarters and the potential for short-stay accommodation (subject to necessary approvals).

The finer points of everyday living receive equal attention, with central heating and double glazing joined by underfloor bathroom heating, while a separate laundry, extensive storage and internal-access double garaging take care of the everyday demands.

Landscaped gardens make the most of the home's north-and west-facing aspect, giving outdoor living a generous share of sunshine and a welcome degree of seclusion.

For racing enthusiasts, the property offers an extraordinary Christchurch base for Cup Week and private race-day hospitality, while its quality, independence and accommodation options give permanent residents and out-of-towners equally compelling reasons to take ownership.

With their next build already underway, the owners are committed to their move, bringing this trackside address to a deadline sale and giving buyers the opportunity to claim one of Canterbury racing's most extraordinary spectator settings as their own.

Please get in touch with Karena Lines or Nicky Armitage from Sotheby’s International Realty for further information.

Deadline Sale: 12:00 p.m. Thursday 3 December 2026 (unless sold prior) at NZSIR Canterbury, 60 Cashel Street, Christchurch
