The luxury of having it all

Auction - From 11am, Thu 22 Oct 2026
(unless sold prior)
3 Deans Ave, Chch

Single-level luxury comes with standout lifestyle capacity at this extensively renovated property, where exceptional accommodation is backed by substantial garaging, shedding and room for recreation in sought-after Swannanoa.

A prized north-west orientation sees sunshine play a leading role across the sweeping approximately 448sqm floor plan, with contemporary interiors and atmospheric strip lighting carrying a distinctly modern mood, while sloping ceilings and high-set windows amplify the sense of height and light.

The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area forms the home’s social centrepiece, with the kitchen’s striking minimalism bringing a polished backdrop for cooking and company, while a second living zone adds valuable flexibility to family life, giving different ages, activities and occasions a place of their own.

Both living zones make an immediate move outdoors, meeting an expansive patio that puts dining and entertaining in the sun, while the verandah supplies a welcome stretch of shade and the spa pool brings an indulgent edge to your evenings.

Four bedrooms and three bathrooms come with the considerable advantage of two master suites. The leading and larger of the two takes a moodier direction with a large walk-in wardrobe and bold en-suite, while its counterpart is clean-lined and neutral, giving guests or extended family an elevated level of privacy and comfort.

A separate study and laundry give work and chores their own quarters, while multi-zoned underfloor heating extends across almost the entire home, joined by an Escea gas fire and heat pump, with extensive solar putting energy efficiency firmly in the home’s favour.

Garaging and shedding reach rare proportions, with four-car provision at the house joined by a separate shed housing a fully fledged man cave and dedicated boat bay, while a further four-bay shed with three bays enclosed takes care of machinery, projects and everything in between.

Privacy and play come with room to roam across the well-fenced grounds, where manicured lawns and established natives frame a scenic pond, while planter boxes and stock yards give growing and grazing a working presence on the property.

With Swannanoa School and Mandeville’s shops only minutes away, the location takes the distance out of country living, completing a lifestyle property where four-hectare freedom and an impressive line-up of facilities come wrapped in the finish of a full renovation.

Big Land. Big Privacy. Big Potential. Don’t Wait.

This is 5.82ha (14.38 Acres) more or less, of pure lifestyle — rolling to inclined land, native bush, stream, space to breathe, with views that hit you, sunsets that stop you. Peace you can feel the moment you step out of the car.

Three bedrooms, a proper master with ensuite, neatly proportioned kitchen, open concept dining and living, natural light everywhere, heat pump, log burner — it’s clean, simple, sorted.

Outside, the deck immediately overlooks the paddocks, add in a generous sized shed, plus, separate stand-alone garage (c/w laundry), this property has flexibility suiting most needs!

The land is mixed in nature, giving you options: graze stock, run a hobby farm, or just enjoy the freedom. Native bush with a walking track drops down to the Puarauroa Stream — a private retreat like this you won’t find again at this scale.
All this, and you’re an easy commute to Bombay School, pre-school, service centre with fast food outlets, cafes, fuel stations, grocery stores, and the southern motorway.

This is the lifestyle holding buyers fight for. Space, bush, sheds, views, potential — it ticks every box and it will move. If you’re serious, act now. Properties like this don’t wait for you.

Deceased estate - first time to market

Rarely does an opportunity of this scale and versatility come to market.

Set on approximately 9.5ha of waterfront land on the Weiti River, 80 Messenger Road offers an exceptional combination of land, substantial accommodation, private waterfront access and multiple avenues for future development.

The 430sqm main residence, built in 1976, features four bedrooms, two bathrooms and multiple living areas, plus a self-contained one-bedroom flat with separate entry and internal access. A second dwelling provides an additional two bedrooms and one bathroom, creating flexibility for extended family, rental income or future business use.

The property also enjoys a private jetty (replacement required) and a pair or mooring piles, and an outstanding waterfront setting.

For developers, investors and entrepreneurs, the scale of the landholding presents numerous possibilities to explore, including:

  • Potential subdivision and development
  • Boutique lodge or accommodation
  • Airbnb / short-term accommodation
  • Wedding or event venue
  • Lifestyle retreat
  • Multi-generational living

The main residence is in good condition but would benefit from renovation and modernisation, offering the opportunity to add value and create an impressive waterfront home.

Having remained in the same family for three generations, the property is now being offered to the market as a deceased estate. Purchasers are encouraged to undertake their own independent due diligence.

9.5ha. Waterfront. Two dwellings. Private jetty. Multiple possibilities.

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a property with genuine scale and the potential to create something truly unique.

All development, subdivision and commercial opportunities are subject to the relevant planning requirements, consents and approvals.

Previously used as kennels, the property also offers an interesting point of difference and potential for those with animals or ideas of their own.

Tidy, practical and refreshingly unpretentious - there's plenty of space, great country views and room to make this lifestyle your own.

Discover a truly special lifestyle property where modern contemporary design meets the relaxed spirit of the Kiwi countryside.

Set on approximately five acres in the heart of the rural village of Waikari, this architecturally designed home offers a rare combination of space, privacy, productivity and residential zoning - providing genuine flexibility and potential for the future.

Completed in 2010, the home was designed for effortless living, with a focus on functionality, low maintenance and a strong connection between the indoors and outdoors. Fully insulated and featuring double-glazed thermal-break windows, it is designed for year-round comfort, complemented by a log burner on wetback for the cooler months.

A large, sheltered courtyard provides an exceptional outdoor living space - perfect for entertaining, long summer lunches or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

Beyond the home, the established gardens and hazelnut orchard create a productive and picturesque setting, complemented by a variety of mature fruit trees and areas of woodland. The property is fully irrigated, with its own established bore as well as mains water, providing excellent water infrastructure for the extensive grounds and orchard.

Country living with village convenience.

Although the property enjoys a wonderfully peaceful rural feel, it sits right within the heart of Waikari. Waikari Primary School is directly opposite, while the village offers a local medical centre, cafes, garages and practical services, as well as the historic Star Hotel.

The location provides an appealing balance between country and convenience, with Christchurch within easy reach and Hanmer Springs and the wider North Canterbury region close enough to enjoy regularly.

Lifestyle today, potential for tomorrow.

The residential zoning and approximately five-acre landholding add another dimension to this property. Alongside its appeal as an established lifestyle property, it may also attract buyers interested in exploring future development opportunities, subject to council requirements and approvals.

For those looking to downsize from a larger rural property, this offers the opportunity to retain space, gardens, an established orchard and a genuine country lifestyle without taking on a large farm. For families, lifestyle buyers or those looking for a property with room to evolve, the possibilities are equally compelling.

Private, productive and beautifully presented, this is a property that needs to be experienced to be truly appreciated.

How do you like them apples?

Because if you like ‘em – and you’re also looking for somewhere to build – then here’s one hell of an opportunity.

This well positioned and very productive 7-and-a-half-hectare organic apple orchard comes serviced, with both power and domestic water, allowing someone to build a home as well as make a living.

Certified organic, the orchard boasts 12,485 Galaxy, Fuji, and Jazz trees, which were planted in either 2008 or 2018. If orcharding isn’t your jam, the existing owners, and their team, will manage the entire operation for you - from the fruit on the trees – to the markets overseas.

The orchard also offers plenty of reliable water through the Earnscleugh Irrigation Company, an irrigation pond, a track, a storage shed, garage, and pump shed.

Situated just 4 kilometres from historic Clyde, with magnificent views of the often-snowcapped Dunstan Ranges, this Central Otago property would make a great place to live, grow, and thrive.

Fraser Road – your future starts here.

Peace, paddocks and possibilities

Tucked away down a tree-lined driveway behind mature trees, this beautifully presented lifestyle property offers space, versatility and a quiet escape. Set on approximately 2.98 hectares of predominantly flat, usable land - an ideal setup for horses or other livestock.

Built in 2006, this 3-bedroom home has been designed to make the most of its peaceful rural setting. The welcoming entry leads through to spacious open-plan living, where timber ceilings, extensive glazing and a freestanding log fire create a warm and inviting atmosphere. At the heart of the home is a well-appointed kitchen complete with a large walk-in scullery, providing excellent storage and preparation space. The living areas flow easily outdoors to a partially covered deck - an ideal spot to relax, entertain and enjoy the surrounding rural outlook. A separate second lounge offers a fantastic multi-purpose space, equally suited as a family room, home office, media room or quiet retreat.

Outside, the property continues to impress. The approximately 2.98 hectares are divided into four well-fenced paddocks, providing a great setup for horse owners, manageable grazing or those wanting to enjoy the lifestyle without taking on a large-scale property.

A versatile shed adds further appeal, with self-contained sleepout-style accommodation including a kitchenette and bathroom on one side, while the other provides single-car garaging with a workbench, offering practical space for storage, hobbies or projects. Purchasers should note the building is consented as a shed.
Further improvements include a calf-rearing shed with sink, woodsheds and a container which provide excellent storage options. Established bush and mature plantings provide shelter, privacy and an attractive backdrop, creating a genuine sense of escape while still being within easy reach of Te Puke.

Park-like privacy and considerable potential make a powerful pairing at this cinematic 12.4-hectare property in Fernside, where an established country estate comes with the valuable advantage of subdivision consent.

Already approved for subdivision into three evenly sized parcels, the property puts a defined future pathway alongside the exceptional lifestyle it delivers today.

A tree-lined driveway makes an impressive approach through mature gardens and spectacular grounds, setting the residence within a landscape of breathtaking natural beauty.

Spacious and modernised while retaining its classic character, the home carries Otago schist from exterior feature work to a striking fireplace in the formal lounge, while the expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living is immersed in natural light and garden outlooks, with direct outdoor flow extending the living into its landscaped surroundings.

Ideally oriented to the north-west, outdoor entertaining captures hours of afternoon sunshine, with a louvre putting shade on standby when the temperature climbs.

From three bedrooms and an office to a four-bedroom configuration, the accommodation can readily shift to suit, with the master featuring an en-suite and walk-in wardrobe.

Offering far more than secure parking, the detached double garage incorporates a sleepout or studio that can turn its hand to guests, hobbies or home-based work beyond the home.

The infrastructure is as extensive as the acreage, with an American-style barn, three-bay garage complex, high-clearance lock-up barn, large utility shed and yards covering an exceptional range of requirements, from parking and projects to rural pursuits.

Position proves another major drawcard, securing a prized Fernside setting with the preschool alongside, the local school just minutes away, and nearby Rangiora putting the wider line-up of shopping, dining and amenities close to home.

A remarkable estate in its own right, the property gives buyers the rare privilege of enjoying it in its entirety while deciding its future.

A country estate with city-side convenience

Deadline Sale - 1pm, Wed 28 Oct 2026 (unless sold prior)

Grand in scale and geared for every generation, this 4.0875-hectare estate takes luxury lifestyle living into a larger league through a six-bedroom line-up, independent accommodation, resort-level recreation and acreage comprehensively equipped from paddocks to property.

The home has evolved and expanded since its 2002 beginnings, gaining a self-contained west wing in 2010 and a purpose-built indoor pool pavilion in 2021, broadening the residence from a substantial family home to a fully fledged lifestyle estate.

A recent round of upgrades has sharpened the finish throughout, led by a brand-new kitchen and scullery, new carpet and a complete interior and exterior repaint.

Multiple living zones turn the home’s considerable 575sqm dimensions into an everyday advantage, giving family life more room to move and entertaining a far bigger backdrop.

That social focus carries outdoors, where a deck beneath twin electric louvre roofs puts dining and drinks comfortably under cover, while vast lawns, established planting, a water feature and a stream give the grounds genuine country character.

Another of the latest additions lifts leisure to another level, with a self-cleaning indoor pool joined by a games room, bathroom, kitchenette and log fire, creating a fully equipped year-round destination for recreation and entertaining.

Six bedrooms, five bathrooms and a study or seventh bedroom give the main residence extraordinary family capacity, with the sheer scale to absorb a full household, extended family or frequent guests without sacrificing privacy or space. The west wing extends that advantage through The Meadows, a fully self-contained two-bedroom residence with its own kitchen, bathroom, living room and double garage, giving occupants complete independence while retaining proven short-term accommodation potential.

An extensive 32-panel solar system puts power production firmly on-site, while three heat pumps, underfloor heating, a wood fire and gas fire cover comfort from every angle.

Beyond the house, the property is equipped to work every inch of its acreage, with deer-fenced paddocks, a two-bay barn, stock shelters, a pump shed and four dog kennels featuring runs and an exercise area give the lifestyle side considerable substance, while dedicated irrigation keeps both paddocks and lawns efficiently managed.

Country scale comes with city-side convenience, with Marshland five minutes away, the Pegasus Bay coastline around 10 minutes by car and the central city little more than 20 minutes from home, completing an estate where land, luxury and lifestyle living know no limits.

Large Scale Lifestyle Opportunity

There is something extremely valuable about having room around you, and across 12.04 hectares (more or less), this Waerenga lifestyle property provides the scale to think bigger, plan ahead and shape the future you have in mind.

Larger than the traditional lifestyle block, yet without the commitment of a full farming operation, there is space here to make the land work for the way you want to live. This generous parcel of land opens up plenty of possibilities. Build your future home and allow room for the extras that can make country living so rewarding – horses in the paddocks, a few cattle or sheep, established gardens, substantial shedding, a swimming pool or simply enjoy the privacy and flexibility that comes with owning this much space. With thoughtful development, the land could also provide a useful return alongside the lifestyle, giving you the ability to make more of what you have.

For families, this generous property brings a different dimension to everyday life, with room for children to grow up around animals, explore the outdoors and enjoy the freedom of country living.

Waerenga delivers the space and freedom of country living while remaining well connected to the wider Waikato and Auckland regions. Waerenga School provides local primary schooling, with Te Kauwhata College catering for older students and school bus services along Falls Road offering the convenience of pickup at the gate. Te Kauwhata is also within easy reach for shops, cafés and everyday services.

Access to the Waikato Expressway provides an important connection north and south, allowing you to enjoy being off the beaten track while remaining connected to schooling, employment, major centres and an established rural community. Te Kauwhata is approximately 14 kilometres away, with Bombay approximately 35 kilometres, Hamilton approximately 60 kilometres and Auckland Airport approximately 71 kilometres from the property.

Bring your plans, explore the possibilities, and imagine the lifestyle you could create on 12.04 hectares (more or less).

The Kiwi Dream

Some properties give you a home. Others give you the space to live the way you’ve always wanted.

Set across more than 3,054 sqm, this beautifully renovated lifestyle property brings together space, privacy and everyday comfort, all within easy reach of Hamilton.

The home has been thoughtfully updated for modern living, with double-glazed windows, solar power and an excellent position for the sun. Inside feels warm and welcoming, while outside is where this property really comes into its own.

Step onto the decks and take in the outlook across the surrounding rural farmland. Entertain friends over a long summer lunch, watch the kids enjoy the pool below, or simply sit back at the end of the day and appreciate the peace and open space around you.

The heated saltwater swimming pool is a real highlight, creating a natural centerpiece for summer living. With generous outdoor entertaining areas and beautiful views, this is a property designed to be enjoyed rather than simply looked at.

And then there’s the shed.

A substantial 98m2 four-bay shed gives you serious space for vehicles, projects, storage or hobbies, complete with a hoist and basketball hoop. Whether you’re a car enthusiast, need room for the toys, want a workshop, or simply value having proper usable space, this is an addition that sets the property apart.

An electric gate provides a welcoming entrance, while the grounds offer plenty of room for children, pets and family life without feeling isolated from everything you need.

That balance is perhaps one of the property’s biggest strengths. Whatawhata Village is only two minutes away, while Hamilton CBD is approximately 15 minutes by car, giving you the freedom of lifestyle living without giving up the convenience of the city.

Renovated, private and ready to enjoy, this is a home for buyers who have been waiting for more land, more outdoor living, more storage, more privacy and more room for the family to grow.
