Best of Clarkville - Estate Living

Price by negotiation
Set across 5.23 hectares of park-like grounds and equipped with every conceivable luxury, this is an estate delivered at its highest level. A post-earthquake residence of extraordinary stature, the expansive 1,018sqm (more or less) layout (includes garaging, pool room, conservatory and gym) sets the tone for a home that makes a supreme statement in both presence and performance. A grand entrance and sweeping staircase set an immediate tone of scale and sophistication, welcoming you to a home where living and entertaining operate on a magnificent scale.
Designed for effortless luxury, the accommodation spans six bedrooms - five with walk-in wardrobes, six bathrooms, eight toilets, and five-car internal-access garaging. The resort-style leisure facilities exceed expectations in every direction, offering a striking indoor swimming pool with a pool house, a separate gymnasium, and a refreshed tennis court.
Six living spaces are arranged beautifully across both levels. These include a theatre room, two living rooms, a formal lounge, and a conservatory opening to the pool, all complemented by a wine cellar and a library to serve every moment or mood. A ground-floor office supports work-from-home requirements, finished with feature panelling and the warmth of a double-sided log burner.
The formal kitchen and accompanying scullery serve as the ultimate hub for large-scale entertaining. Gatherings effortlessly extend outdoors, where a fireplace and overhead cover ensure get-togethers can run well into the evening.
Within the sleeping quarters, each bedroom features bathroom access to establish premium consistency. A ground-floor suite adds flexibility, while two en-suite bedrooms above the garage are supported by a kitchenette for extended family or guest independence. The master suite claims sanctuary status with a bespoke dressing room and a skylit ensuite. Comfort and capability are comprehensively addressed with multiple heating systems, including radiators throughout, underfloor heating, and log burners. Additional advantages include a central vacuum system, electric skylights, hard-wired smoke alarms, a security system, three-phase power to the house, a workshop, and extensive storage options.
Seamlessly extending from the outdoor living spaces, the grounds create a tranquil and private retreat steeped in local character. Expansive lawns are framed by mature trees, raised vegetable gardens offer abundant homegrown potential, and established hedging provides outstanding shelter and seclusion.
Appealing strongly to equestrian enthusiasts, the site's rich history is highlighted by a character-filled stable dating back to around 1876. This heritage feature contrasts beautifully with the modern residence, accompanied by two generous paddocks, well-appointed stock yards, multiple three-bay barns, and two wells. Just moments away are a Pony Club and Baynons Brake Park - a favourite destination for horse riding, fishing, walking, and mountain biking. Nearby Silverstream Reserve provides an equally scenic spot for walking, adding to the area's outdoor appeal.
Positioned minutes from Clarkville School, 10 minutes from Clearwater Golf Course, and approximately 15 minutes from both the city and Christchurch Airport, this property claims a pinnacle position in country estate luxury.
