1/71 Tai Tapu Road, Tai Tapu, Selwyn, Canterbury

Price by negotiation An extraordinary blend of scale, seclusion, and luxury, this 4.16-hectare lifestyle estate presents an unmatched opportunity, whether as a premier family residence, accommodation venture, or high-end equestrian haven. Positioned within easy reach of Tai Tapu vineyards, nearby local townships, and just 15 minutes from the city, this property is both private and exceptionally well-connected. A sealed driveway and gated entrance introduce the manicured, park-like grounds, where three paddocks, a horse arena, complement a stable complex, lockable storage shed, and the natural beauty of the Halswell River running along the boundary. Striking in stature and the recipient of an extensive renovation and refurbishment, the home is a masterstroke of detail, where timber floors, Casambi lighting, B&W/Heos sound system, a central heating and security system, and an internal lift create a technologically advanced and timelessly elegant space. Immense in size and purpose-built for entertainment, the layout comprises multiple living and dining zones, a library, billiards room, a high-spec media room and a professional-grade climbing wall, while a Panasonic home theatre system, B & W in-built speakers, and a Stovax log burner elevate every experience. A gourmet Miele-fitted kitchen serves as the centrepiece, while a vast entertaining space, suited for hosting events or weddings, opens to the outdoors, making it a prime venue for large-scale gatherings. Upstairs, six bedrooms all feature ensuites, and extensive joinery, including two master options with walk-in robes. Notable inclusions of this property are the three-car garage and impressive additional garaging for up to 15 vehicles, complete with a car hoist and extra-height doors to accommodate boats and specialist vehicles. An additional internal access gardeners garage features an attached kitchenette and bathroom facilities. Outdoor living is private and refined, featuring a Venetian stone patio, a tranquil courtyard and beautifully landscaped mature gardens. Unrivalled in scale and specification, this property near the city boundary truly has it all. Please contact us for more information.
