Double Hill Run Road, Methven, Ashburton

High country retreat

How would you like to pull the curtains every morning to reveal this extraordinary outlook over lush rolling pastureland to the dramatic snow-capped Southern Alps?

So seldom are blocks of this size available in the Canterbury high country, the sale of this phenomenal lifestyle property presents a golden opportunity to purchase a unique rural retreat in a location that's simply incomparable.

Originally part of Glenariffe Station and often the subject of farm and garden tours, the stunning 2.1020ha grounds are extensively landscaped with easy-care native planting incorporating the nearby Gerard Stream and waterfall.

The homestead, 'Boundary House', effortlessly combines classic traditional styling with the superb convenience and comfort of a modern home. Elegantly decorated in neutral tones paired with timber flooring, the communal areas feature a series of generous, interconnected living spaces including the cosy lounge with fireplace, formal dining room and a separate living room that opens to the outdoors.

At the heart of this country home is the superbly functional kitchen with miles of bench space, two sinks and a fabulous walk-in pantry. It's hard to imagine complaining about the dishes while you admire that view! The accommodation includes a luxurious master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom. In the guest wing, two further double bedrooms, each with ensuite, open out to their own sheltered outdoor terraces.

With Terrace Downs Golf Course just across the river and Mt Hutt Ski Field at the bottom of the road, options abound for world-class outdoor pursuits including fishing, hiking, hunting, mountain biking, jet boating and heli-skiing.

Positioned in this startlingly beautiful location, the new owner will enjoy total seclusion while remaining within approximately 90 minutes of Christchurch International Airport, one hour from Darfield and 45 minutes from Methven.
