Deadline sale (unless sold prior)
12pm, Wed 8 Apr 2026

Expansive in its proportions and uncompromising in its inclusions, this Tai Tapu property pairs family-sized spaces with leisure-level luxury and working infrastructure, delivering flexibility and freedom that take lifestyle living to another level.

After more than two decades of ownership, the decision to downsize releases a property that has long operated at full capacity as a family home, a working base, and a retreat in its own right.

Renovated throughout with a clean-lined and consistent finish, the home's interiors strike a contemporary-country note, with timber planking underfoot in the entrance, kitchen and laundry, while shaker-style cabinetry adds depth and definition.

The kitchen sets the direction for the open-plan living and dining domain, joined by a formal lounge for quieter occasions. A third living zone adds another layer to the layout, with each space enjoying bi-folds that maintain a constant connection to the outdoors, where the generous living programme continues.

The sweeping grounds are arranged into a sequence of entertaining zones, including a portico for shelter and a spacious courtyard centred around an outdoor fire, while the indoor pool introduces all-season recreation, supported by its own bathroom.

Accommodation reaches family heights with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with the upper-level master claiming its own territory, featuring plantation shutters, a walk-in wardrobe, and a fully appointed en-suite. Downstairs, a fully tiled family bathroom serves three further double bedrooms, including a guest suite with an en-suite.

A large separate laundry meets daily demands, and a dedicated office and landing study provide defined spaces for work. Heating is comprehensive, delivered by two gas fires and two heat pumps, with under-tile bathroom heating and an HRV system reinforcing comfort.

A triple garage delivers scale and storage, lined with cabinetry and drinks fridges and crowned by a rumpus above, while a separate drive-through barn with studio, kitchenette, heat pump and toilet supports everything from a home-based business to recreation or retreat.

Set across 6.063 hectares, the land carries the country element with five paddocks, cattle yards and artisan water already in place.

Located between Tai Tapu and Halswell, with both just five minutes away, the address blends a country atmosphere with everyday convenience, suiting families, business operators and those wanting rural life without losing the convenience of city life.
