This immaculate home has been modernised and extended beautifully, including double glazing, and effortlessly flows into the surrounding mature gardens, perfect for entertaining on long summer evenings around the pizza oven or enjoying a swim in the heated, self-cleaning pool with changing rooms.

Conveniently located just a short commute to Christchurch CBD and the Christchurch International Airport - gateway to the South Island - and 10 minutes (approximately) from the charming township of Amberley, this property offers the perfect balance of peaceful country living with easy access to urban amenities.

The vineyard itself is a historic treasure, being the first planted in the Waipara region in 1981, and is home to some of the oldest vines in the area. The estate produces premium, award-winning wines under the Waipara River Estate label, including Pinot Noir, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Chardonnay. The vineyard is fully irrigated, and the property is well-equipped with modern infrastructure, including lockable roller-door sheds for equipment storage, horse stables, a tack room, a four-bay open-fronted barn, and a double-insulated, Customs-licensed wine store.

The owners have been extremely passionate about this amazing property over several years.

Three Titles. One Extraordinary Opportunity.

Set high above the shimmering waters of Lake Ōkāreka, with the commanding presence of Mount Tarawera forming a dramatic natural backdrop, this is a landholding of rare scale, beauty and versatility.

Offered by tender on Wednesday 25 February at 3.00pm, this remarkable property spans three separate titles, delivering a combined lifestyle offering that is quite simply unmatched. One remarkable offering, or two exceptional opportunities - 171 and 191 Millar Road may be secured together or separately.

The journey begins through a stylish electric gate, followed by a picturesque 1.7 kilometre private climb, winding gently through established plantings and rolling hills. The sense of arrival is unmistakable - anticipation builds with every turn.

At the summit sits the primary residence at 191 Millar Road -a breathtaking 337 square metre, two-level home that has undergone a superb transformation, with no expense spared and every detail thoughtfully curated. The view across Lake Ōkāreka is nothing short of spectacular - expansive, elevated and ever-changing surrounded by native planting and the sound of native birdsong year round.

Cathedral timber sarked ceilings immediately draw the eye, guiding attention to the striking picture window where the lake appears to stretch endlessly below. There is a genuine sense of floating above the water.

The main living pavilion is exceptional - a grand yet welcoming space incorporating a central dining area, generous lounge, and an intimate nook overlooking the resort-style inground swimming pool and spa. This zone evokes the atmosphere of a private retreat - relaxed, luxurious and effortlessly connected to its surroundings.

The designer kitchen and scullery are beautifully appointed, perfectly laid out for both everyday living and entertaining, and equipped with all the features expected of a gourmet space - all while enjoying sweeping lake views.

The master suite is a private sanctuary, positioned separately for peace and privacy. A walk-in robe, elegant ensuite and sublime morning outlook complete this lush and restful space. The main level also incorporates two further bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom.
Upstairs, a fully self-contained wing offers outstanding flexibility - two bedrooms, a lounge, kitchenette and bathroom - ideal for extended family, guests or independent living.

Oversized internal garaging and utility garaging complete the primary dwelling, providing excellent storage and practicality.
Across this approximately 54 hectare title, 21ha of easy country is deer fenced and divided into 20 well-managed paddocks, with the balance in established native and production forestry, all thoughtfully configured to balance productive use with natural beauty.

The property is well supported by an established easy care livestock operation, currently running, 60 Red Deer breeding hinds and replacements, finishing 55 venison annually and 12 rising two-year-old steers. The grazing area and facilities could alternatively run sheep or cattle.

The second title, 171 Millar Road, hosts the much-loved “Red Barn” - an exceptional and character-rich accommodation option sleeping up to fourteen guests. A proven holiday retreat, this 9.5 hectare (more or less) title also presents Airbnb potential, offering both income and future flexibility, or a unique family home for extended family.

The third title presents a truly rare opportunity – 8,015sqm (more or less) of flat, easy bare land at Lake Ōkāreka, an increasingly scarce commodity. Whether held as a strategic landbank, lifestyle addition or future development opportunity, its value is undeniable.

This is not simply a property - it is a legacy offering. A place of scale, privacy and extraordinary outlooks, where lifestyle, land and location combine in perfect harmony.

Three titles. One vision. An opportunity that may not be repeated.

This 27-hectare, subdividable property comprises a mix of medium to steep hill country, with elevated areas offering expansive views down the Tuki Tuki River valley, from Mount Erin to Te Mata Peak.
