Set amidst the peaceful surrounds of Glentui, just one hour west of Christchurch, this exceptional country estate offers a rare combination of luxury living, productive farming and complete privacy.
Positioned beneath the foothills of Canterbury on the western edge of the Canterbury Plains, the property enjoys an outstanding natural setting with expansive rural views, absolute tranquility and an atmosphere that is both calming and restorative.
The offering comprises two titles. The first encompasses approximately 4 hectares and is centered around an impressive 450m² country residence. The second consists of 116 hectares of flat to gently undulating land, fully deer-fenced and operating as a well-established commercial red deer breeding enterprise. Bordered along its southern boundary by the Garry River, which flows below the main terrace, the property combines productive grazing land with an attractive natural landscape.
The substantial homestead has been thoughtfully designed for comfortable country living. Constructed of timber and schist with a concrete tile roof, it presents a timeless appearance while offering exceptional durability. The spacious home features three generous bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, multiple living areas and seamless indoor-outdoor flow to a series of sheltered courtyards designed to capture the surrounding views and sunshine.
Quality is evident throughout, with double glazing, full wool insulation to the floors, walls and ceilings, underfloor heating, four heat pumps and both open and enclosed wood fires ensuring year-round comfort. The well-appointed country kitchen is complemented by a gas-fired Aga cooker, while gas hot water provides efficient everyday living. Internal access is provided via a double garage connected by a covered walkway.
Supporting the farming operation is an excellent range of infrastructure, including well-designed deer handling facilities, four implement sheds—one incorporating an impressive workshop—a four-bay hay barn, comprehensive cattle yards and a separate two-bedroom cottage with adjoining garage and built-in sleepout. The deer enterprise has been developed with practicality and efficiency in mind, while the cattle yards provide flexibility for complementary grazing and pasture management.
Oxford is approximately 20 kilometres away (around 23 minutes by road), with Rangiora just 31 kilometres (approximately 31 minutes). Both centres provide a full range of services, with primary and secondary schooling available together with convenient school bus services.
Whether your vision is to continue the successful deer farming business, enjoy an exceptional country lifestyle or explore future opportunities, this remarkable property offers an outstanding platform in one of Canterbury's most picturesque rural locations.
