897 Cashmere Road, Halswell, Christchurch City, Canterbury

Seclusion on the fringe of the city, in your own, 2195m2 woodlands like setting, with treetop views out to the magnificent Southern Alps. The setting and location are reason enough to live here, add in a very accommodating and special home.. and, this may be considered a perfect match? The home started life as a Mid-Century gem by the renowned architectural genius of Warren & Mahony, before it grew to keep in balance with the families needs and its environmentally rich location. The home now offers a wonderful balance of either open and interactive, or independent living area options (3 in total) that envelope the courtyard, and what a courtyard, this is an area that is completely at "one" with its environment, for entertaining, relaxing or blissful surrender (picture this, a gentle breeze rustling through the trees, the melodic sounds of the fountain, the fire crackling away, the sun setting over the Mountains then "POP" out comes the cork, its time to celebrate another wonderful day in your haven)

The accommodations are in harmony with the living, there are three double bedrooms (2 on the ground floor, including the main), two with ensuites, the third has access to the main bathroom close by, the layout creates real independence for the bedrooms & offers real opportunity to accommodate a wide variety of needs.

The access to the elevated treetop position is so gentle that you arrive at the generous entrance courtyard before you know it, again you have choice, go to the homes entrance, the gated main courtyard, the Eastern courtyard or into the automated garaging, even your guests are catered for with excellent parking. The main garage is generous in size with space for 2 vehicles & storage, the bonus is there is another, separate free standing building, is it a garage/workshop/storage or..? situated at the bottom of the property with its own access of Cashmere Rd. Yes there is walkways that meander through the beautiful woodlands like setting, enabling you to enjoy the birdsong and peaceful atmosphere at your own leisure, without even having to leave your property, but if you want for more, the Quarry Park & all it has to offer is your neighbour, there is shopping, a supermarket, schooling, culinary delights, recreational opportunities and more in abundance, much closer that you would expect for a location that offers so much independence, could you ask for a location that offers more? Yes it is special opportunity, yes it will probably test your emotional self control, yes it is has stayed true/authentic to its origins, some may see this as an opportunity to add value, others will love it for what it is, yes the RV may be a bit generous and above the owners expectations, therefore should probably be ignored. Will it be sold?, absolutely, the currents owners next move is confirmed, they will be saying goodbye to their retreat and "baby" come auction day or before, maybe for less $'s than you had dreamed such a wonderful lifestyle could sell for?
