Tui Estate Lot 12 — Luxury Lakeside Home & Land Package, Canterbury, New Zealand
Eligible for the NZ Active Investor Plus (Golden Visa) Programme
There are properties defined by their address, and there are properties defined by their landscape. Lot 12 at Tui Estate belongs firmly to the second category. Positioned at the water's edge within one of New Zealand's most exclusive lifestyle estates, this is a residence shaped entirely by its relationship with lake, mountain and sky.
The 584m² single-level home sits on a 1ha section within Tui Estate's 67-hectare Southern Alps foothills setting, where 51 hectares of surrounding farmland is held in permanent protection. The architecture sits lightly above the landscape, composed around a series of considered courtyards and a central reflection pond that brings movement and natural light deep into the heart of the building. Every space has been oriented to draw the lake and alpine views inward, creating an atmosphere of rare calm and visual continuity with the natural world outside.
The Residence
At the centre of the plan, the Great Room forms the primary living space, oriented to capture uninterrupted views across the water. It connects directly to the family dining area and a finely detailed kitchen with generous scullery. A separate family room and media space offer additional areas for relaxation, each with strong connections to sheltered outdoor living.
The arrival sequence sets the tone with purpose. A guest carport leads into a welcoming lobby and reception space that includes a bar, wine storage and gallery-style circulation, composing the experience of the home before it opens fully into the main living zones.
Accommodation
The primary suite is positioned to capture morning light and lake views, complete with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. Three further bedroom suites and a bunk room provide comfort and privacy for guests or extended family, while a dedicated office sits within a quiet corner of the plan for focused work. Five bathrooms throughout, featuring wet rooms and freestanding baths with considered connections to the surrounding courtyards.
Wellness and Outdoor Living
The bathing and wellness areas are designed as spaces of genuine retreat. Wet rooms, freestanding baths and thoughtful courtyard connections create a sense of calm that extends naturally from interior to exterior. The sheltered outdoor rooms formed by the courtyard arrangement encourage year-round enjoyment of the landscape, with the lake and peaks as a constant backdrop.
A large internal garage and supporting utility areas are positioned discreetly, maintaining the architectural emphasis on landscape and clarity of form throughout.
The Estate and Surroundings
Tui Estate occupies an exceptional position in Canterbury's Southern Alps foothills, just over an hour from Christchurch International Airport. The estate sits amid rolling high country where glacial rivers carve through ancient valleys and alpine peaks frame every horizon. Within thirty minutes lie world-class outdoor pursuits: salmon and trout fishing in the Rakaia Gorge, championship golf at Terrace Downs Resort, skiing at Mount Hutt, and endless hiking and cycling trails through pristine wilderness.
This is a landscape defined by purity, space and silence, where privacy meets accessibility and natural beauty unfolds in every direction.
Investment and Residency
Tui Estate is an approved investment under New Zealand's Active Investor Plus programme, commonly known as the Golden Visa. Lot 12 represents an ideal vehicle for internationally mobile investors and families seeking a world-class private residence that also supports a pathway to New Zealand residency.
New Zealand consistently ranks among the world's most stable, safe and liveable countries. With a transparent legal system, strong property rights and an exceptional natural environment, it remains one of the most sought-after destinations for global investors and families seeking a secure and beautiful place to call home.
