Set on 7.57ha of elevated grounds with stunning views over the Waiau Valley to the Kaikōura Ranges, the property’s landscaped gardens, framed by native trees and blooming perennials, are proudly featured in the Celebrate Cheviot Garden Tour 2025.
Completed in 2013, the 500sqm residence balances grand entertaining with relaxed family living. The owner’s wing offers privacy with two bedrooms, a connecting ensuite, and a dedicated office, while the guest wing features four generously sized rooms – including the fully accessible Kowhai Room – each with its own ensuite and heat pump. An elegant entrance leads to the spacious lounge with gas fire and dining area, flowing seamlessly into the gourmet kitchen and large scullery, complete with extensive bench space, a quartz island bench, commercial-grade oven, ample storage, and a hidden wine room – ideal for entertaining or everyday family life. A therapy/wellness room rounds out this versatile, luxurious home, perfectly suited to family living, multi-generational life, or hosting guests in style.
The grounds include six well-fenced paddocks, a pond, productive gardens, and landscaped areas. A 100m² pole barn, oversized garage, and comprehensive water infrastructure support both lifestyle and business pursuits. Evenings are made for stargazing from the heated spa or simply enjoying the serenity of the valley.
