Enviable lifestyle with income potential

This is an idyllic home and location for those seeking a peaceful and productive lifestyle.

Situated on 13.9 hectares (approximately) in the heart of North Canterbury's picturesque wine country, here's your opportunity to live and work in one of New Zealand's most sought-after locations. The stunning Waipara River Estate vineyard, paired with boutique accommodation, provides a unique business model with dual revenue streams from both the hospitality and viticulture sectors. If room for family and friends is high on your wishlist, the homestead would be perfect for multi-generational living with various living/bedroom options.

The property includes a well-established 3.2-hectare (approximately) vineyard, currently managed by external contractors, allowing the owner to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and harvest the rewards of someone else's expertise. The original farmhouse has been superbly renovated and extended into a boutique accommodation business, featuring four self-contained suites (studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom), with nightly rates ranging from $350-$375. This is a walk-in, walk-out model that allows for immediate operation if required.

The owner's accommodation is separate from the well-appointed guest suites, which have their own kitchenettes, offering privacy while still enjoying breathtaking vistas that can be appreciated from the spa pool - perfect for relaxing with a glass of your own award-winning wine. With its tranquil setting, the property offers the possibility for expansion into other ventures, such as hosting weddings, wellness retreats, or events. With potential for subdivision, the options increase.

The property's extensive chattels list adds incredible value, including everything in the guest suites, farm equipment and machinery and approximately $100,000 of bottled wine. 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. Now's your time to seize this opportunity to own your piece of paradise and create your personalised haven in this most coveted of locations. This is an outstanding lifestyle and business opportunity with significant potential for growth in a region renowned for its wines and natural beauty.

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.

Contemporary Form, Lifestyle Freedom

Settled within Waymau Estate, this near-new residence reflects a leading level of luxury long associated with Coatesville’s lifestyle landscape.

Pavilion-style by design with a clear priority on form and finesse, the home’s modern lines introduce interiors defined by volume and natural light.

Vaulted ceilings elevate the main living spaces, oak flooring brings warmth and texture underfoot, while stone surfaces and finely tuned finishes reinforce an elevated standard of execution.

The kitchen is highly specified with double ovens and a full scullery, operating as the entertainment centre of the open-plan living space, where dining and lounge zones are cleverly divided by a double-sided gas fire.

Outdoor living is immediate, with seamless openings to a fully covered alfresco space where the pavilion form carries the architecture forward in full, creating a setting capable of hosting year-round.

The five-bedroom layout showcases flexibility in full, with one space shifting between bedroom and media room, while the master suite steps ahead, encompassing an office nook, walk-in wardrobe, and an ensuite appointed with a bath and walk-in shower.

A flawlessly assigned family bathroom supports the rest of the household, while a sleek powder room steps in for guests.

Double internal-access garaging with carpet underfoot and extensive off-street parking sit within easy-care grounds and expansive lawns, with the scale and structure of the land naturally lending itself to the addition of a swimming pool, shed or minor dwelling.

Located in a contemporary corner of Coatesville, Waymau Estate sits within easy reach of Albany Westfield, motorway access, and the dining precincts of Albany and Silverdale, making this an appealing find for buyers seeking high-calibre construction in the countryside.

Upstairs, two further bedrooms include one with an en-suite and balcony overlooking the pool, while the fourth is served by a large family bathroom and dual wardrobe storage.
A separate toilet downstairs adds convenience for families and guests alike. Comfort is considered and consistent, with double glazing, three heat pumps, a log burner and a DVS system.
Outdoors, the heated saltwater pool forms the centrepiece, framed by interlinking decks and patios that flow from the floor plan. The gardens and lawns have pop up irrigation, and the mature landscaping give the surroundings a final layer of flourish.
Beyond the home, the property operates with ease, with an irrigation consent, private water supply, seven paddocks and a large three-bay barn delivering genuine rural capability.
Situated only minutes from West Melton's schooling, services and village amenities, and an easy drive to Christchurch airport and city, this is lifestyle living closely connected to convenience.

Big Shed, Pool, Plus Income Potential, A Rare Find

If you’ve been searching for space, versatility, and lifestyle, look no further than 281 Laxon Road. This modernised three-bedroom home offers comfortable family living, outstanding outdoor entertaining, landscaped gardens, and shedding that will impress even the most serious enthusiast. It’s the dream package for families, hobbyists, and those seeking additional income potential.
Cleverly designed with the living zones at its heart, this home is built for both family connection and entertaining. The contemporary kitchen is a chef’s dream — featuring stone benchtops, double oven, 5-burner hob, a large island, and abundant storage — while remaining perfectly connected to the dining and living areas, allowing the cook to stay part of the conversation. The dining space flows seamlessly to a covered patio and sparkling inground saltwater pool, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. A large lawn and established vegetable gardens provide plenty of room for children to play and pets to roam freely, making this a true family haven.
A separate lounge offers a comfortable retreat, ideal for movie nights, big games, or relaxed evenings with family and friends. Central air conditioning ensures year-round comfort throughout the home. The master suite is a private sanctuary, complete with a walk-in wardrobe and fully tiled ensuite — the perfect escape at the end of the day. At the opposite wing of the home, two further bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned alongside a stylish, fully tiled family/guest bathroom, providing excellent separation and flexibility for children, guests, or extended family. An office nook with built-in storage and attic storage above the large double garage adds further practicality.
Adding exceptional versatility is the separate 44sqm (more or less) self-contained unit, complete with its own private entrance, air conditioning, kitchenette, tiled bathroom, and private courtyard — ideal for Airbnb income, independent teenagers, extended family, or guests.
Completing the package is the impressive 149sqm (more or less) American-style barn, offering far more than just storage. This substantial space is every enthusiast’s dream and could easily function as a work-from-home workshop, creative studio, or business base, with room for tools, toys, and serious projects alike.
Securely gated, beautifully presented, and packed with features — this is more than a home, it’s a lifestyle opportunity you won’t want to miss.

Uninterrupted Lake Ngaroto Views, Quiet Luxury

Positioned on the northern fringe of Te Awamutu in a quality lifestyle setting against a backdrop of stunning lake views, you’ll find refined lifestyle living.

Completed in 2022 by respected JCB Buillders LTD, the spacious four-bedroom home plus dedicated office has been thoughtfully designed with an emphasis on liveability, privacy and understated luxury. Two distinct living spaces allow the home to adapt with ease to its future owners requirements. The main living area is open, sun-filled and defined by pitched ceilings, creating a sense of volume without excess. A second living room provides a more intimate and comfortable setting, retaining the pitched ceiling detailing, ideal for media, quiet evenings or separation from the main household. Both spaces are equipped with integrated audio solutions, reinforcing the home’s considered functionality.

The kitchen sits at the centre of the home, high end in its finishing, with emphasis on quality specifications and enduring design decisions. Generous in scale, with clear sightlines across the covered outdoor entertaining area and uninterrupted views of Lake Ngaroto. A full scullery and servery windows provide functionality and future flexibility, including provision for an outdoor kitchen should the next owner choose to extend the entertaining capability.

Uninterrupted lake views are a defining element of the property. With Lake Ngaroto largely surrounded by farmland and very limited residential development, homes with this outlook are few and far between. The setting offers privacy, open outlook and a sense of calm that is increasingly difficult to secure so close to town.

The primary suite occupies its own private wing, providing a peaceful retreat complete with a beautifully appointed, fully tiled ensuite and a well-appointed walk-in wardrobe. The balance of accommodation is supported by a family bathroom with standalone bath and separate guest water closet all aesthetically continuing the home’s cohesive detailing.

The property is supported by solar power with battery storage, reflecting a practical and forward-looking approach to efficiency. Ducted central heating ensures year-round comfort, while an electric fireplace creates day to day ambience. Landscaping has been carefully considered, with established hedging and curated planting complementing the home’s clean architectural lines. An inground saltwater swimming pool completes the setting, offering a private and well-resolved outdoor environment.

Located just five minutes from Te Awamutu’s town centre, perfect for grocery runs, great schooling, boutique shopping and a good flat white. Positioned for an easy commute north toward Hamilton and Cambridge. This is a property well suited to families, those downsizing from larger landholdings, or buyers requiring a high-quality work-from-home solution without compromising on outlook or lifestyle.

Opportunities of this nature — combining modern design, enduring views and proximity to key centres — are seldom available. This is a premium lifestyle offering defined by position and long-term appeal, call Sarah today for a full information pack and to make your time to view.

27ha hill country with Tuki Tuki Valley views

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.

The property was previously planted in radiata pine, which was harvested nine years ago. The land is now predominantly pine, along with manuka, redwoods, Douglas fir, poplars, and various other species. A well-established network of ATV access tracks services the property, and permanent boundary fencing allows for grazing.

The property, fifteen minutes from Havelock North Village, would suit someone seeking an off-grid lifestyle in a private and peaceful setting, the establishment of a glamping business overlooking the Tuki Tuki Valley, or a farm forester, with the growing woodlot offering future income potential.
