Grand park-like estate in Springlands

This grand 7,540sqm estate is the jewel in the crown of prestigious Springlands and presents a once-in-a generation opportunity for discerning buyers. As one of Blenheim's most significant remaining land holdings, the property's extraordinary proportions and six-bedroom Victorian residence make it a truly rare and unique offering.

Savouring a sense of privacy from the road, white gates open into the magnificently manicured, park-like grounds that envelop the gracious heritage-listed home. It was crafted in the 1920s and aficionados of period architecture will covet the rich authentic elements and detailing throughout. Creating an elegantly refined ambiance, timber joinery, stained glass and bay windows abound inside, while a spacious, functional floorplan is ideal for modern family life. A blend of formal and informal living and dining rooms showcase garden views, while the open-plan chef's kitchen is well-equipped.

The inside flows out to the terraces, sweeping flat lawns and in-ground swimming pool complex, which are as perfect for grand gala occasions as intimate family relaxing. Mature native trees frame the grounds, while irrigated gardens have been planted to reflect the elegance of the residence. At the back of the triple garage, a large space can be used as a games room or home office premises.

This property provides a sound investment in your family's future, as there is also scope to develop two sections off the eastern side of the property, via an existing established subdivision. It's in zone for Springlands Primary School, Bohally Intermediate School, Marlborough Boys and Marlborough Girls Colleges.

Harford House now awaits its next custodians. It's a dream sanctuary for families with a passion for character homes and who seek space, sensational outdoor living and scope for the future.
