There are large homes, and then there are properties whose scale, architecture and sheer presence place them in a category of their own. Privately positioned among other substantial residences in prestigious Golden Elm Lane, this remarkable Mediterranean-inspired estate delivers approximately 950sqm* of living on an expansive 3,844sqm setting.

Designed by Ray Hawthorne Design and originally created for its Greek owners, the home carries a distinctive Mediterranean influence throughout. Stonework, terracotta roofing, soaring ceilings, exposed architectural forms and generous proportions give the residence an identity that is increasingly difficult to find in contemporary construction. From the moment you enter the sweeping grounds, there is an unmistakable sense of arrival.

At the heart of the residence is perhaps its most memorable feature: an extraordinary indoor swimming pool enclosed within a vast glazed atrium. Rather than being positioned as an addition to the home, the pool forms its central architectural focal point, with living spaces arranged around it and extensive glazing bringing light deep into the interior. Accompanied by dedicated spa and sauna facilities, it creates a private recreational environment on a scale normally associated with a luxury resort.

Accommodation is equally substantial. Seven bedrooms and five bathrooms provide considerable flexibility for a large or extended family, while multiple living areas allow different generations and guests to occupy the home without compromising privacy. Expansive entertaining rooms, dramatic vaulted ceilings and modern tiled bathrooms sit alongside the property's original architectural character, creating spaces that are impressive in scale yet designed to be lived in.

Outside, the proportions continue. Established gardens and mature trees provide privacy and a sense of permanence across the grounds, while a fully fenced tennis court adds another dimension to the property's recreational offering. Six covered vehicle spaces are complemented by extensive additional parking and manoeuvring areas, providing room for boats, jet skis and the collection of vehicles that often accompanies a property of this calibre.

The location strengthens the proposition further. Upper Riccarton places the property within easy reach of the University of Canterbury, Westfield Riccarton, Bush Inn Centre and Riccarton Bush, while the substantial landholding creates a remarkable sense of space within an established urban environment.

For a growing or multi-generational family, the attraction lies in having room for virtually every aspect of life within one private estate. For the luxury investor, the combination of approximately 950sqm of improvements, 3,844sqm of land, seven-bedroom accommodation and extensive recreational facilities presents an asset of unusual scale and scarcity.

This is not a conventional luxury home. It is a substantial private estate with architectural individuality, extraordinary recreational facilities and dimensions that would be exceptionally difficult to reproduce today. For buyers seeking space, privacy and something genuinely different, few Christchurch properties offer a proposition quite like this.
