Architectural House and Gardens Masterpiece!

**Please note - South Eyre Rd is blocked off with road works so the best route from town is:

First exit after Waimak Bridge, 2nd on left into Heywards Rd (Clarkville School on corner), follow it until it joins Sth Eyre Rd.

There's one sharp curve about ¾ way along with big old house close to road.

Don't go straight ahead but take the curve which is actually still Heywards Rd.

South Eyre Road is shut for about a month**

Prepare to be captivated by Te Manaaki, a stunning estate created with expertise by owners Peter and Juliet Worsp of Terra Viva Home & Garden/Cafe. This prestigious property has been featured in both NZ House & Garden Magazine and NZ Gardener, a true testament to its exceptional quality. The residence is designed by architect Kerry Mason (MAP Architects) and built by Colin Thwaites, architectural builder.

The scale of the setting is simply breathtaking, unfolding across 2.1322 hectares. The grounds are more than impressive, representing a lifetime of horticultural passion translated into a private paradise. A series of outdoor rooms have been thoughtfully curated to offer alternative areas of interest. Precisely maintained Potager gardens, fruit trees, and a berry enclosure further enhance this premier lifestyle. For the dedicated gardener or self-sufficiency enthusiast, the property is equipped with two glasshouses, compost bins, and even a fully operational chicken coop & the chickens themselves!

Inside the main residence, the sophisticated layout encompasses three spacious bedrooms and two immaculate bathrooms (one is an ensuite) plus two powder rooms. The home is purpose-built for premium living, boasting two generous living rooms for entertaining and relaxation, a discreet private office, and a beautifully organised kitchen complete with a much-desired walk-in pantry. The layout flows effortlessly, emphasizing natural light and views of the incredible surrounding grounds.

Beyond the main home, the property offers superb flexibility with a dedicated, detached guest annex ( minor dwelling) -perfect for visitors and extended family. This fully self-contained space is immensely appealing, comprising its own kitchenette, a comfortable living room, a private bedroom, an ensuite bathroom, a separate store room, and, crucially, its own private outdoor patio area, providing a quiet, dedicated space for private alfresco enjoyment.

The practical side of life is well-handled here, too. There's a spacious double garage that connects to a tractor room and a wood store, and the outdoor pergola is equipped with a motorized roof and screens for year-round get-togethers. Despite the privacy, you're only a quick two-minute drive from the local Mandeville Village, which has everything you need-from the Super Value and a petrol station to the popular Mandeville Village Bakehouse and The Platform bar and restaurant.

You have the best of both worlds here! The location strikes a great balance between rural peace and city convenience. You can be at the Christchurch International Airport in about 20 minutes, or in the heart of the city in roughly 25 to 30 minutes. Plus, being in the zone for great local schools like Swannanoa Primary School, St Patricks Primary School and Kaiapoi High School adds to the easy lifestyle. 173 Mandeville Road is more than just a lifestyle block; it's a well-loved home that's ready for someone new to enjoy the quiet world its owners have created.

** Deadline Sale - All offers to be presented on or before 5pm Wednesday 4th February 2026 - unless sold prior. **
