With the current owners having treasured 23 years of memories at Gunyah Country Estate and new dreams on the horizon, this represents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished residence in the heart of Canterbury. Just minutes from Methven and an hour’s drive from Christchurch, the owners are now ready to hand over this extraordinary property to its next residents. Colliers are proud to invite serious buyers to submit an offer for the Deadline Sale.

Set on 11.51ha, this historic estate combines privacy, space, stunning Southern Alps vistas, and timeless style, with the potential for additional income from homestead stays and the three self-contained cottages.

Built in 1912 for the son of former Prime Minister Sir John Hall, the homestead exudes timeless elegance. Features include rich timber detailing, Rimu floors, Australian Cedar paneling, a Jarrah hallway, leadlight windows, and a striking Kauri staircase with Juliet balcony. Expansive living areas, a family-friendly kitchen, and elegant drawing and dining rooms make the home perfect for entertaining or relaxed living.

The grounds combine practicality with charm, offering hobby farming facilities alongside beautifully maintained gardens, orchard, pond, and sweeping lawns.

Deadline Sale: Offers close Wednesday 18th February 2026 at 1pm, unless sold prior.

  • Land & Lifestyle: Seven paddocks, stables, woolshed, orchard, glasshouse, native reserve, gardens, pond, and sweeping lawns — perfect for hobby farming, equestrian pursuits, or enjoying rural life.
