luxury real estate for sale Hanmer Springs, New Zealand

Amidst breathtaking landscapes stands a landmark building – a place of beauty, and craftsmanship. Set between the Seaward Kaikoura Mountain Range and the Pacific Ocean, Fyffe Country Lodge captures the essence of New Zealand living, with a lifestyle rich in adventure and natural splendour. More than a home, it is a property that inspires, whether as a private residence, a treasured holiday retreat, or a continuation of its established five star lodge reputation. Built from hand-crafted 100lb rammed earth blocks and with Canadian Cedar shake features, this is no ordinary construction. Independent builders have estimated it would take over $4 million to recreate today – a true testament to its enduring quality. Nestled within established English-style gardens, the main residence features a welcoming guest lounge and expansive dining hall that has hosted celebrated dining experiences and memorable events. Upstairs, four private suites await, each with its own en-suite, including the Mount Fyffe Suite with spa bath, cathedral ceilings, and a bay window framing majestic mountain views. A separate wing offers three further suites, seamlessly connected to the lodge. The chef’s kitchen, with top-quality appliances, invites both everyday cooking and fine entertaining. Beyond the gates, Kaikoura offers a lifestyle second to none – hiking, skiing, fishing, whale watching, diving for abalone, golf, fly fishing, and village life with boutique shops and restaurants. Fyffe Country Lodge is not just a property – it is a landmark legacy, awaiting its next devoted caretakers to write the next chapter of its story.

Some homes reveal themselves immediately. Others ask you to slow down. Beyond the mature trees and gently winding driveway lies a property set on approximately 5.46 hectares that has quietly evolved over generations. Surrounded by established gardens and open lawns, this welcoming country residence possesses a rare sense of peace, privacy and permanence that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Rather than demanding attention, it rewards those who take the time to appreciate it. Every mature tree, garden path and outbuilding contributes to a setting that feels deeply connected to its landscape, creating a home that is both authentic and unmistakably Canterbury. Complementing the residence are three substantial outbuildings that have quietly supported both creative and home based businesses over the years. Offering remarkable flexibility, they provide space for workshops, studios, craftsmanship, storage or those seeking the freedom to work from home. They are not simply sheds; they are spaces where ideas have been realised, businesses have grown and creativity has flourished. It is this quiet versatility that makes the property so compelling. Equally suited to family life, creative pursuits or simply enjoying the space that surrounds you, it offers a lifestyle that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Some properties are remembered for their architecture. Others for their location. This one is remembered for something much more difficult to create. A feeling. From the moment you arrive beneath the trees, there is an unmistakable sense that this is a place where life has unfolded naturally over many years, and where the next owners have the opportunity to continue that story in their own way.

Some homes follow convention. This one never intended to. Inspired by Mediterranean travel, 30 McLeods Road is the realisation of an extraordinary vision. Designed by architect Philip Kennedy and originally commissioned by a Christchurch builder with a passion for architectural form, the residence evolved over many years into one of Canterbury's most distinctive homes. A scale model of the original design, still held at the property, remains a lasting reminder of the ambition behind the project. Positioned within a peaceful rural setting near Sefton, the home unfolds across three interconnected towers and five levels, where scale, elevation and sweeping coastal views define the living experience. A sculptural spiral staircase forms the heart of the home, while a lift provides effortless access throughout. Its architectural significance was later recognised through its feature on Grand Designs New Zealand. Designed for both everyday living and memorable entertaining, the residence offers generous accommodation, multiple living areas and a central courtyard inspired by traditional Mediterranean planning. A separate two bedroom apartment, complete with its own kitchen, living area and bathroom, provides exceptional flexibility for guests, extended family or independent living. Four internal access garage spaces, generous off street parking, a dedicated wine cellar and a collection of distinctive character spaces, further reinforce the home's remarkable individuality. More than a home, 30 McLeods Road is the expression of an extraordinary vision, where architectural ambition and enduring craftsmanship have created a residence unlike any other.
