Deadline Sale (unless sold prior)
12pm, Wed 21 Oct 2026

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.

Lifestyle living with subdivision secured

Auction (unless sold prior)
From 11am, Thu 29 Oct 2026
3 Deans Avenue, Christchurch

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.

EXECUTIVE LIFESTYLE LIVING

Having thoroughly enjoyed designing and building their dream home, our vendors now reluctantly offer this magnificent, custom-built GJ Gardner executive residence to the market. Completed just two years ago and set on approximately two acres, this exceptional property enjoys a peaceful rural setting just minutes east of Inglewood. Boasting a striking black brick exterior complemented by feature vertical cladding, this contemporary home makes an impressive first impression.

Step through the welcoming entrance and immediately appreciate the carefully considered design, with picturesque views across neighbouring farmland creating a sense of space and tranquillity.

At the heart of the home is the impressive open-plan living area, featuring a soaring atrium-style ceiling that enhances both light and space. Feature apex windows frame stunning views from the kitchen towards the region's iconic mountain, while the dining area enjoys a beautiful rural outlook across surrounding farmland.

The stylish kitchen showcases a striking dark benchtop paired with crisp white cabinetry, a generous scullery, and an array of thoughtfully integrated features, including a convenient cooling drawer.

Designed with modern family living in mind, the home offers exceptional storage solutions throughout and a designated office nook.

The spacious master suite provides a private retreat, complete with a walk-through wardrobe, elegant ensuite, and direct access to its own patio area. Additional accommodation includes three generously sized bedrooms, plus adjoining the garage is an expansive man cave, 5th bedroom or workshop space, thoughtfully future-proofed with pre-plumbing. This versatile area offers excellent potential for conversion into a self-contained studio, home office, or hobby room, with separate access via a ranch slider on the western side of the home.

Further enhancing the property's appeal, the vendors have invested in solar panels that supply power directly to the grid, providing both environmental and long-term economic benefits.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a near-new executive lifestyle property where quality craftsmanship, contemporary design, and rural tranquillity come together seamlessly.
Adjoining additional land could be purchased if desired.
