Price on Application

Set beneath the foothills of Canterbury, approximately one hour west of Christchurch, this exceptional Glentui estate presents a rare convergence of architectural distinction, absolute privacy and established rural enterprise.

Spanning two titles and approximately 120 hectares, the property encompasses an impressive private residence, productive deer country, mature shelterbelts and the tranquil Garry River — creating a setting of remarkable natural beauty and enduring appeal.

At the heart of the estate is a substantial 414 m² country residence, occupying its own four-hectare title. Designed to sit naturally within its surroundings, the home combines timber and schist construction with timeless architectural character and a refined level of comfort.

Three generous bedroom suites, each complete with its own ensuite, provide elegant private accommodation, while expansive living areas extend seamlessly towards a series of sheltered courtyards and outdoor entertaining spaces. The result is a home designed equally for relaxed family living and sophisticated entertaining.

A beautifully appointed country kitchen forms the social centre of the residence, featuring a gas-fired Aga and generous proportions befitting a home of this scale. Year-round comfort is assured through full wool insulation, double glazing, underfloor heating, four heat pumps and both open and enclosed fireplaces.

The second title comprises approximately 116 hectares of flat to gently undulating productive land, fully deer-fenced and operated as an established red deer breeding enterprise. The property’s agricultural infrastructure has been developed to a high standard, including purpose-designed deer handling facilities, extensive implement shedding, a substantial workshop, four-bay hay barn, comprehensive cattle yards and a separate two-bedroom cottage.

The estate therefore offers considerable versatility: an opportunity to continue an established rural enterprise, secure a private country retreat with income-producing potential, or simply enjoy the space, privacy and lifestyle afforded by an exceptional holding of this scale.

Despite its secluded character, the property is conveniently connected to the wider Canterbury region. Oxford is approximately 20 kilometres away, while Rangiora can be reached in just over 30 minutes. Christchurch is approximately one hour by road. Primary and secondary schooling, together with school bus services, further support the property’s credentials as a sophisticated permanent family residence.

Above all, this is a property defined by balance: architectural quality without ostentation, productive land without compromising lifestyle, and genuine seclusion within easy reach of Canterbury’s principal centres.

Rarely does an estate of this calibre become available. Combining an exceptional private residence, established rural infrastructure, productive land and an extraordinary natural setting, this Glentui property represents a distinctive opportunity to acquire a truly significant New Zealand country estate.
