No expense was spared when this significant Cashmere property was constructed in 1975. Designed by Wendy Campbell, an ardent follower of Heathcote Helmore, colonial windows and gables in the roof line pay homage. Sizeable and solid, the house has been in the same family since then, and the current owner, nephew of the original, has retained the very best of that era and further enhanced with contemporary adaptations and modern indoor outdoor flow.

Situated among some of Cashmere Hill's most prestigious properties, this is a 'Dress Circle' position commanding spectacular views from as far away as Mt Cook to The Seven Sisters and out to The Kaikouras. Access is easy with a wide driveway and a flat turning and parking space with room for three or four vehicles in front of an oversize double garage. The 763sqm section is paved, decked and planted to maximize outdoor living and for ease of maintenance. Almost every room on each level opens onto terraces, balconies or decking. A saltwater pool sits among seemingly acres of creamy pavers, with a covered patio for summer entertaining.

Once inside, it is clear this is an ideal family home with well over 300sqm of space. A huge country style kitchen is a natural gathering place with room for dining, spilling out onto sunny, sheltered decking. The original Parquet floor and the rich Mahogany timber joinery have been retained. Vast living spaces on every level will accommodate a growing family freely. A large loft space is perfect as a games room, teenage retreat, or private office. There is even an underground room known affectionately as 'The Bunker' for which use is limited only by a new owners imagination!

Located just 100m from Cashmere Primary and firmly in Cashmere High Zone, choices are obvious, but if you opt for our many private schools, the number 1 bus goes directly through to Merivale.

With the third generation now grown, our sellers no longer need this substantial property preferring to spend more time on their Banks Peninsula farm. They have already purchased a smaller 'town pad' and are making room for the second lucky family!
