80B Hackthorne Road, Cashmere, Christchurch City, Canterbury

Designed by Bespoke Architecture, this substantial 2015-built residence is perched high on the sought-after slopes of the Cashmere Hills, delivering the elegance of classic villa-inspired architecture with the confidence, performance, and comfort of modern construction. Thoughtfully crafted using enduring materials and contemporary engineering, the home meets modern insulation and structural standards while maintaining a timeless architectural presence.

A prized north-west aspect captures sweeping views across the Cashmere Valley and Basin Wetlands, with dramatic sunsets and an ever-changing outlook. The wrap-around upper-level balcony elevates the experience further, offering expansive 180-degree views stretching to the Southern Alps and creating a powerful connection between home and landscape.

The first floor is dedicated to elevated living and entertaining. Formal living and dining spaces transition effortlessly into a generous family room, all opening to the balcony for seamless indoor–outdoor flow. This level is anchored by the primary suite, featuring a walk-in wardrobe and a luxurious ensuite with a full-sized bath. A second bedroom sits alongside the main bathroom, ideal for family use, guests, or a refined work-from-home space.

The lower level provides exceptional flexibility, with three additional bedrooms, two with ensuites, plus a separate guest WC. French doors from two bedrooms open directly to the patio, reinforcing a strong connection between indoor and outdoor living. A large living and games room with a built-in bar creates a relaxed secondary living zone, complemented by a double internal-access garage and a generous laundry.

Set within landscaped grounds that blend native bush with exotic planting, the property also features a productive orchard and sheltered outdoor entertaining areas. A discreet Japanese-style cedar hot tub, heated via a gas califont, offers a private outdoor soaking experience year-round, thoughtfully positioned to enhance both privacy and outlook.

Practical comforts include gas instantaneous hot water, heat pumps, security lighting, ceiling speakers, and excellent off-street parking in addition to the internal double garage. With its commanding position, architectural integrity, and uninterrupted outlook, this is a rare opportunity to secure a substantial hillside home in one of Cashmere’s most tightly held locations.

The property has previously operated successfully as a high-quality bed and breakfast, marketed as Cashmere Hills Bed and Breakfast, and presents an appealing opportunity for buyers seeking a lifestyle property with guest accommodation potential. The home’s layout, separation of living zones, multiple ensuite bedrooms, and strong indoor–outdoor connection align well with hosted visitor accommodation, supported by an established online presence.
