Stone, scenery and seclusion
Auction (unless sold prior)
From 11am, Thu 26 Nov 2026
3 Deans Avenue, Chch
Four hectares of absolute privacy, magnificent lakeside grounds and the character of West Coast stone architecture give this Tai Tapu estate a place at the very pinnacle of lifestyle living.
Set well beyond the road, a tree-lined arrival reveals a remarkable landscape, leading to a residence framed by sweeping lawns and layered gardens, with a private boathouse and lakefront views that are nothing short of spectacular.
West Coast stone construction and timber floors give the home its distinctive country charm, while the classically appointed interiors carry the calibre of Ingrid Geldof's design work in the kitchen, family bathroom and laundry.
The kitchen and dining area form the household's centrepiece, with Miele appliances, an integrated coffee machine and granite benchtops complemented by a bay-window seat that gives garden views a place at the table.
The lounge claims its own advantages, pairing fireside warmth and library shelving with a spectacular lakefront outlook, before opening to a vine-covered pergola terrace, with integrated speakers lending atmosphere indoors and out as morning coffees, long lunches and evening gatherings gain a front-row position to the property's enchanting scenery.
Accommodation takes a future-proofed approach, with the ground-floor master suite securing ensuite privacy and walk-in robe convenience, while the upper level features three bedrooms, a family bathroom with underfloor heating and a second living space, giving the younger generation or guests a domain of their own.
Double glazing and five heat pumps keep year-round comfort well covered, while a dedicated study and separate laundry give work and household routines their own place in the floor plan.
The grounds are as productive as they are picturesque, incorporating extensive fruit plantings, a berry garden, a shade house and a tunnel house, with a private well and filtered household water supply adding another measure of self-sufficiency.
Across the four hectares, vehicle and equipment storage receives an exceptional allocation, with double internal-access garaging joined by a powered and heated four-bay shed with loft storage and a further single garage, giving hobbies, machinery and lifestyle pursuits considerable room to run. A dedicated gym adds another recreational dimension, while a second lake beside the rear paddock extends the property's idyllic appeal well beyond the gardens.
Moments from central Tai Tapu and minutes from Halswell and Lincoln, the property puts convenience into the country, promising an exceptional lifestyle within a landscape of extraordinary beauty.
