An elegant oak-lined driveway announces arrival at this remarkable Ladbrooks estate in the Selwyn District, unveiling an exclusive lifestyle property of rare calibre. Encompassing 3.6-hectares, the estate offers a rare combination of architectural distinction, privacy and exquisitely landscaped grounds. From an easy commute into Christchurch City to a day on the slopes at Mt Hutt just 90 minutes away, this location is perfectly positioned for both work and play.

Designed by acclaimed architect Chris Prebble of Three Sixty Architecture, the 416sqm (approximately) residence reflects an understated elegance defined by space, light, and thoughtful design. Bathed in natural light, the expansive yet refined floorplan accommodates both relaxed daily living and sophisticated entertaining. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen is superbly appointed with European and American appliances and a butler's pantry.

The light-filled open plan kitchen-dining and family living room is complemented by a formal lounge designed to ensure there is always space for socialising or relaxing.

Accommodation is equally impressive, with four generously proportioned bedrooms complemented by three luxuriously appointed ensuites and two substantial walk-in wardrobes.

Walls of glass dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, allowing the interiors to flow effortlessly to a series of outdoor entertaining terraces, manicured lawns, and a magnificent, heated swimming pool adaptable for chlorine or salt water.

Year-round comfort is assured with a grand open fireplace, an inbuilt log burner, and discreet underfloor heating and cooling systems throughout. Triple internal-access garaging, attic storage, and a dedicated laundry with outdoor access complete this standout residence.

The 3.6-hectare landholding is exceptionally well-appointed, featuring three paddocks, an artesian well, established shelter belts, and a substantial three-bay barn with one enclosed bay and three-phase power - ideal for equestrian, lifestyle, or hobby farming pursuits.

Positioned just 20 minutes from the city centre, this distinguished estate presents an exceptional lifestyle opportunity.
