901 Pigeon Bay Road, Pigeon Bay, Banks Peninsula, Canterbury

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.

The opulent interior has been impeccably curated by internationally sought-after New Zealand born designer, Christopher Hall - creating a home that is a work of unparalleled calibre in the region. From the grandeur of the entrance hall, the elegance of the sitting room and library to the intimacy of the bedrooms, each space is a masterclass in international design. Picture windows take the eye directly down the bay to views of the ocean and the surrounding foothills of Banks Peninsula.

Set on approximately 4.094 hectares of prime Banks Peninsula pastureland, the property has been designed for easy-care park-like grounds, which include an all-weather tennis court and brand new inground saltwater pool. A fully self-contained two-bedroom guest house adjacent to the primary home offers a multitude of options for extended family, friends or private staff.

Situated just 50 minutes drive from Christchurch city and with options for helicopter access from Christchurch International Airport, Glenralloch is well positioned for commuting distance yet offers complete privacy and seclusion upon arrival.

Practical considerations include a fully automated garden irrigation system; radiators and underfloor heating; Ring Main hot water distribution system; broadband internet for home office connectivity; a large gym & sauna; and full re-work of electrical and plumbing.

Blue-chip real estate opportunities such as this, seldom become available. Your prompt viewing is highly recommended.
