A recreational paradise in the Rakaia High Country

Deadline Sale (unless sold prior) 12pm, Mon 25 Aug 2025

Positioned in the spectacular upper reaches of the Rakaia River, this one-of-a-kind property offers a rare chance to live, play, and unwind in one of Canterbury's most breathtaking alpine settings. Just a short drive from Methven and the Mount Hutt ski fields, it delivers complete seclusion without sacrificing convenience.

For outdoor enthusiasts, what is on offer is unmatched. Hunting, fishing, boating, and skiing are all literally at your doorstep. The home of Methven Heliskiing is located less than 15km down the road, providing access to the untouched Arrowsmith Mountain Range. The Rakaia River is renowned for Salmon and Trout fishing, while the Glenariffe stream is arguably one of the best fly-fishing rivers in Canterbury. Your own pond is also perfect for fishing, enjoying views stretching up the Wilberforce valley and across to Mt Algidus. The surrounding hills are home to the elite Rakaia Red deer herd, tahr, and chamois. From alpine adventures to relaxed riverside days, the recreational potential is endless.

The main three-bedroom home, built in 2022, is modern, warm, and beautifully positioned to capture panoramic views of the Southern Alps. An additional three-bedroom cottage and a separate sleepout provide flexible options for extended family, guests, or Airbnb use. All homes enjoy privacy, comfort, and space.

This is a property defined by its setting, sweeping views, native bush, and a sense of solitude that's increasingly hard to find. Whether you're seeking a permanent base or a high-country retreat, this offering blends modern comfort with raw natural beauty in a way few properties can match.

A true escape, a rare opportunity, and a lifestyle reserved for the very few.
