Serenity escape, privacy perfected

Set across 5.6510ha (more or less) of thoughtfully managed land, this superbly crafted residence was originally designed to operate as an exclusive lodge, yet it transitions seamlessly into a refined private estate.

The home has a presence that is both elegant and understated, offering substantial accommodation, excellent separation of spaces and a layout that supports a wide range of future uses. Some purchasers will be drawn to the property as a prestigious holiday home with a view to eventual permanent occupation, while others will immediately recognise the benefits of establishing their family life here from day one, creating memories that will endure for generations.

The residence itself is generous, well configured and immaculately cared for, with a level of construction and finish that ensures it will comfortably meet the needs of its owners for decades to come. Five suites, including a separate primary suite, are complemented by six bathrooms and a powder room, allowing family and guests to enjoy privacy without compromise. Formal and informal living areas include a gracious lounge, formal dining room and a large conservatory that draws in light and outlook throughout the day. High-quality fixtures, fittings and tiling reinforce the sense of quiet luxury that runs consistently through the home.

Beyond the residence, the grounds are a defining feature. Expansive lawns flow down toward the water’s edge, bordered by ponds and a natural stream that weaves through the property. A conservation-minded approach by the current owners has transformed the land into a true sanctuary, attracting abundant birdlife, including rare duck species. Portions of the land are paddocked, providing scope for stock or horses, while the house itself enjoys its own defined and private setting.

Practicality has not been overlooked. Double internal-access garaging is supplemented by further shedding suitable for vehicles, workshop and equipment storage, offering flexibility for those with lifestyle, recreational or business interests.

For purchasers seeking income potential, the four guest suites offer obvious scope for boutique accommodation, should one wish to revive or reimagine the property’s original lodge intent.

This is a rare offering: a sophisticated coastal estate that combines scale, serenity and versatility in an increasingly sought-after location.

Whether held as a legacy family property, a refined permanent residence or a future-focused lifestyle investment, it represents an opportunity that is seldom repeated in Opoutere.

Built without compromise

Some homes are large; however, this one operates at a different scale entirely.

Set on an elevated 5000 square metre (more or less) site in Alfriston, 116 Polo Prince Drive rises across three levels connected by a curved staircase and a four-person lift. The site's gradient is part of the architecture rather than something to work around. Each level has its own purpose and identity.

Arrive through a covered portico and step into a foyer that immediately tells you what kind of home this is. The formal living room drops 3 steps from entry level with its 9-metre stud drawing the eye upward before a curved feature window brings the outside in. Formal dining opens opposite a generously proportioned room with its own bar and integrated sound.

The main kitchen runs open into the family room, anchored by an electric fireplace, and looks straight out to the rear lawn and turf. A second gas kitchen sits alongside for everyday cooking, keeping the show kitchen clear. A fully independent guest suite completes the ground floor with its own kitchen, living area, two walk in wardrobes and a full bathroom, accessible privately from the main home. A prayer room sits off the family room on the same level. The master suite sits on the same floor, set apart from the rest of the home as its own retreat: a sitting room, a fireplace, and bifold doors opening to a large covered outdoor area fitted with a sink, bench, and fridge. The ensuite also featuring a spa bath.

The first floor opens onto a gallery landing that looks back down over the formal living below. Bedroom suites fan out from here, each with an ensuite and walk in wardrobe. A library nook sits off the landing. A second independent suite with a kitchenette and sitting area gives the floor genuine flexibility.

The lower level is where the home shifts gear. A 17-metre heated pool, a gym, a triple garage, an infrared sauna, an outdoor spa and massage room, and a full party wing with its own kitchen, bar, cinema and TV lounge, all opening to a sheltered patio. This level carries its own street access, entirely separate from the front door. Throughout: hydronic underfloor heating runs across the main floor, ducted heating and cooling covers multiple zones, a sound system is integrated across all common areas of the home, and CCTV covers internal common areas and the exterior. A coded lock secures the front door.

This is a home for people who entertain at scale, accommodate extended family in genuine comfort, or simply want a property that does everything without requiring compromise.

Architectural splendour and space

With the trademark quality and flair of award-winning Turner Road Architecture, this supremely elegant residence set on an elevated site in exclusive Tamahere, is designed to impress. Every last detail of this energy efficient home has been perfected by our astute vendors, including half a kilometre of piping for hydraulic underfloor heating, eighteen solar panels and zoned central heating.
Framed by post and rail and sitting on 5006sqm (more or less) of lush lawn and gardens, there are even Turner Road Architecture plans for a mini version of the main home on the expansive lower level of the section. With its own separate driveway entrance, you are future-proofing your options for multigenerational living on the property. Alternatively, keep this huge lower lawn empty for the football fanatics in the family or a future tennis court.

This is a home that commands your attention from the outset with its high stud entry, skylights, raked ceilings and barn doors that open to a marvellous open plan lounge/dining and kitchen area. Canadian upcycled Oak adorns the facade of the electric fireplace that pushes heat out beautifully into the lounge area, where high rafters with handpainted galvanised joinery are a striking feature.
At the other end of this impressive space is the kitchen with its granite benchtops, induction cooking, and a roomy scullery complete with second F&P dish drawer. There's even a louvred internal window to the home's office or fifth bedroom, in case a coffee order comes in from those studying or working hard on the other side of the kitchen wall!
A purpose-built media room with dimmer lighting sits behind the barn door off the main lounge, private enough for the movie buffs in the family to escape but close enough to the main hub of this home.
The kitchen, dining and living all spill out to a gorgeous alfresco entertaining area and retreat-like 11 metre heated swimming pool outside. Savour long, lazy summer days around the pool with the family in the peaceful environs of your own estate, within this private and exclusive neighbourhood. Your chess board in the garden with supersized pieces promises hours of fun for visiting friends, who'll feel like kings and queens themselves relaxing amidst the orchard of orange, lemon, feijoa, plum and fig trees.

The master suite is completely separate from the guest wing, luxurious in its presentation with sheer curtains and access on both sides to two private courtyards for a spa. Your walk-in wardrobe sits behind the master bedroom, as does the ensuite with its double vanity and large, tiled, double header walk-in shower.
Everyone loves a separate guest wing and this one caters well for children or visitors, with sensor lighting leading you to three sunny bedrooms and a spacious bathroom. The versatility of this wing is a feature- it works well as a locked off Air BnB facility, with one of the bedrooms currently being used as a third lounge with its own patio. A powder room for guests sits off the main foyer for convenience.
The heating of both the home's water and underfloor pad is masterful. Forget big power bills, the hydraulic inverter heat pump with three thermostats, controls both hot water and underfloor heating with seventeen valves that can manually adjust the temperature throughout the house. Eighteen solar panels also feed back into the grid.
The double garage is adjoined by a third smaller garage or workshop where the ride-on mower also fits comfortably. Outside there's plenty of parking space for the motorhome or boat if you can ever be torn away from this vast 316sqm (more or less) sanctuary.
Surrounded by other quality homes, this is a property for those who value craftsmanship, atmosphere and the confidence of exceptional design. Well positioned just 2km from the expressway, commuting to both Hamilton or Cambridge is easy.

Patumahoe lifestyle without the big price tag

Here is your opportunity to secure an affordable entry into lifestyle living in a fantastic Patumahoe location.

Positioned down a quiet no-exit road and only a short distance from Patumahoe township, this appealing 1.54 hectare (more or less) property offers an easy-to-manage lifestyle block, a warm and comfortable three-bedroom home, and plenty of potential to add value over time.

The land is divided into four paddocks with a combination of post and rail and six-wire fencing, creating a practical setup for a few sheep, calves, ponies or other lifestyle animals. The contour is excellent, and the elevated position of the home gives you a great outlook across the property.

The home itself is warm, humble and full of character, featuring native timber flooring, three bedrooms, one bathroom and a separate laundry. The open-plan living and dining area flows directly onto the north-facing deck, while the master bedroom also opens outdoors.

The deck is a real highlight, offering an elevated view across the paddocks and providing the perfect place to sit back, enjoy the sun, and watch the animals below - providing hours of entertainment for animal lovers.

The property is Healthy Homes compliant, with insulation and a heat pump already in place. It is currently tenanted to fantastic tenants who would be happy to stay, making this an attractive option for an investor or landbanker wanting to secure a small holding close to Patumahoe township.

Outside, there is a separate double garage, carport and a variety of established fruit trees, including a huge mature avocado tree that produces an impressive yield of quality fruit.

Whether you are looking to make your first move into lifestyle living, want a manageable block for the family and animals, or are searching for a long-term investment or landbank opportunity, 24B Eggleton Road offers plenty of possibilities.

With a little bit of work, there is real scope to improve the property and make it your own, while enjoying a great location, excellent contour and the lifestyle that comes with having 1.54 hectares ( more or less) of space around you.

Don’t let the CV put you off - we don’t believe it’s a fair reflection of where the property sits in today’s market. With a motivated vendor who wants the property sold on auction day, buyers will ultimately determine the value.

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 central 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.
