Step into a realm where history meets refined luxury at Glenralloch Homestead. Originally built in 1912 for the Hay family, its provenance is steeped in early Canterbury history. After an extensive upgrade and refurbishment, this grand home is reimagined for future generations. Offered now for only the third time in its 112-year history, Glanralloch awaits its next lucky custodian to ensure her passage into the future.
