Award-winning in its build and unforgettable in its presence, this 4.35 ha estate stands with substance and stature that set it apart on Canterbury's lifestyle stage. The 2021 work of architect Shane Kingsbeer and Keane Builders of Amberley, this 486sqm residence was awarded gold for craftsmanship at the House of the Year Awards, securing its status as a home of the highest standard.

Interpreting the modern farmhouse with a coastal influence, the design balances expanses of glass and French oak floors with structural Douglas Fir beams and a board-formed concrete chimney, each element contributing to scale and strength, complemented by finessed interiors and a floor plan where entertaining defines the flow. Five bedrooms and three bathrooms, including two en-suites, give depth to the accommodation, while three separate living areas confirm the home's capacity for family life at full volume.

Entertaining is uncompromising, with the purpose-built pavilion bringing together an open fire, built-in barbecue, pizza oven, bar, and television in an all-seasons venue where walls open wide and gatherings run long into the night.

Positioned to the north, the living rooms harness day-long sunshine and open wide to expansive decking, a solar-heated pool, and a spa that carries the home into resort-style territory for everything from family summers and social occasions to larger celebrations.

An oversized laundry answers the demands of daily life, while productive gardens and a tunnel house extend the lifestyle into a year-round harvest. The ability to host reaches another level with a functional pool-house, expanding the accommodation and giving guests full independence and privacy. A three-bay barn and pony shelter amplify the property's rural dimension, with a four-car garage providing the vehicle storage to match.

Set on the outskirts of Kaiapoi, Clarkville offers rural privacy with the ease of a 20-minute commute into Christchurch, bringing country calm and city convenience into the same setting.

Motivated by a move north to be closer to family, the vendors now pass forward a property that has become both a triumph of design and a benchmark for lifestyle.
