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.

Built in the 1910's and once home to the Hapuku Dairy Company, this landmark property has been meticulously reimagined into one of Kaikoura’s most distinctive luxury residences. Known today as The Factory, it now operates as a thriving boutique accommodation, offering an exceptional lifestyle or investment opportunity in one of New Zealand’s most spectacular coastal settings — where the Pacific Ocean meets the backdrop of snow-capped mountains. Behind the preserved industrial façade lies a contemporary interior configured into two self-contained wings. Each offers three double bedrooms, a chef’s kitchen (one with separate scullery) and generous open-plan living. The design allows the property to function as one expansive six-bedroom retreat accommodating up to twelve guests, or as two independent three-bedroom residences. Vaulted ceilings and exposed timber beams pay homage to the building’s history while creating a living space of warmth, character, and contemporary appeal. A spa, gym, and EV charging station further enhance the guest experience. Currently operated as a successful luxury accommodation business with excellent forward bookings and outstanding reviews, The Factory combines architectural significance with proven business performance. A separate dwelling, The Barn, provides additional self-contained accommodation currently used by the owners. For discerning buyers seeking a private coastal estate, boutique venture, or both — The Factory represents a rare opportunity to own a defining piece of Kaikōura’s heritage.

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.
