Perched proudly on the lower slopes of the Port Hills, this 1925 Arts & Crafts masterpiece, originally built as the Anglican Vicarage, is celebrating its centennial with somewhat less timeless grace and grandeur than our owners had hoped for. With our owners now settled elsewhere in the South Island, their cherished property is ready to be handed over in its "as is where is" condition for whatever the next 100 years brings.
Whether you choose to demolish the current home and start from fresh beginnings, or bring this home from a bygone era back to her former glory, the location's convenience and views will be the superb either way. Set on a generous, private section surrounded by mature trees and established gardens, the home enjoys a northeast aspect that delivers all-day sun, shelter from the wind, and a microclimate that's consistently warmer than the city below.
From its elevated position, the views are nothing short of spectacular. Wake to sunrises over the City, lighting up the snowcapped Southern Alps. Gaze out to the Kaikouras and the Pacific Ocean. On clear days, the panorama sweeps from the eastern beaches, across the city skyline and the Canterbury Plains, to the distant peaks of the Southern Alps - a living canvas that changes with the seasons.
For the past 18 years, the current owners have raised their family here, drawn to the peace, privacy, and proximity to nature that this unique site offers. It's a place where birdsong greets the morning, and the city feels a world away - yet it's just minutes to the cafés of Cashmere and zoned for Cashmere High School, one of Christchurch's most respected secondary schools.
For viewing outside of scheduled open homes, contact the agent to make these arrangements.
