Richie and Gemma McCaw's four-bedroom Christchurch home has sold for an undisclosed sum. The Fendalton property, designed by Sheppard & Rout Architects, was withdrawn from auction after bidding stalled at $3.6 million.

It sold shortly after via negotiation to a young family for a price exceeding the final bid. The McCaws, who purchased the home in 2021 and added a pool, have permanently relocated to Wānaka, making the sale necessary. The result highlights continued strength in Christchurch's premium property market.

The McCaw's purchased the 2014-built, Sheppard & Rout Architects-design home in 2021.

The flooring is American oak.

The contemporary kitchen was designed by Ingrid Geldof.

The large doors open out to the garden.

One of the four bedrooms.

The pool was added by the McCaws.
