*FIRST TIME ON THE MARKET*
Elevated to capture sweeping views across Christchurch City and through to the Southern Alps, 80 Major Aitken Drive offers a rare sense of escape, where everyday life gives way to tranquillity. From the moment you pass through the front gates, the atmosphere shifts, evoking the feeling of arriving at a private Mediterranean retreat, serene, sun-soaked, and wonderfully secluded.
Set on approximately 1,089m² of land with an expansive 514m² (approx.) floor area, the residence unfolds with space and elegance, designed for relaxed family living and effortless entertaining. Five generously sized bedrooms provide peaceful accommodation, including a master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. There is also a separate office which offers a quiet sanctuary for work or study. Throughout the home, balconies and expansive windows frame breathtaking views, allowing natural light and the ever-changing landscape to become part of the interior experience. The beautifully updated kitchen is sleek and inviting, seamlessly connecting to the living and dining areas, perfect for long lunches, shared meals, and entertaining. Enhancing the resort-style ambiance is a self-contained room with its own private access, tucked beside the Mediterranean-style pool area, ideal for guests, extended family, or a private retreat of its own. Comfort is assured year-round, with partial underfloor heating throughout every room except the kitchen, lounge, and office, complemented by a heat pump and majority double glazing, ensuring the home remains warm and welcoming in every season.
The lifestyle is further enhanced by extensive garaging, providing ample space for multiple vehicles, a boat, and generous storage, all discreetly accommodated.
Located within the highly sought-after Cashmere High School zone, this private haven is remarkably convenient, just 15 minutes to Christchurch City Centre, 24 minutes to Christchurch Airport, and 20 minutes to Sumner beach. Local shops, amenities, and popular restaurants are close by, yet the home remains blissfully removed from the pace of everyday life.
A truly special property, where space, views, schooling, and location combine with a timeless, holiday-at-home atmosphere seldom found.
