About this property

Some homes impress you. Others make you never want to leave. Hidden away from the world on an expansive 2,980m2, this remarkable Amberley property feels like your own private sanctuary from the moment you arrive. Beautifully established, immaculately presented and clearly loved, its spectacular garden setting was originally designed by renowned landscape designer Greg Bloomer and will feature as 'Garry's Garden' in this year's Hurunui Garden Festival. Surrounded by mature greenery and enjoying a peaceful rural outlook, there's a wonderful sense of seclusion here - yet you're remarkably close to everything. Amberley's town centre is only a short drive away, while the Amberley Domain and Railway Tavern are within casual walking distance. At an impressive 258m2, the home delivers space and flexibility in abundance. Three living spaces include open-plan everyday living, a separate lounge and formal dining room, while three bedrooms plus an adaptable office allow you to configure the home to suit your lifestyle. A recently renovated ensuite and main bathroom add a fresh contemporary touch. But step outside, and this hidden sanctuary really comes into its own. Three paved and sheltered entertaining areas allow you to follow the sun from sunrise to sunset, morning coffee surrounded by birdsong, long lunches tucked amongst the gardens, and evening cocktails as the day draws to a close. Practicality hasn't been forgotten either. Double internal-access garaging is complemented by a third garage bay incorporating the first of two lockable workshop spaces. A second standalone workshop with roller door provides secure storage for tools and equipment, or an alternative home for the mower, while an attached potting shed is perfectly at home amongst these magnificent gardens. There's even a lined 'Wendy house', providing a charming studio, hobby room, additional storage or kids' retreat, with a treehouse adding another touch of magic for younger family members. This isn't simply a large home on a beautiful section. It's a hidden sanctuary that has been created and cared for with genuine love. Private, peaceful and full of little spaces waiting to be discovered. Properties combining this level of privacy, space, established gardens and proximity to Amberley are incredibly difficult to replicate. With ‘Garry's Garden’ about to step into the spotlight, this is your opportunity to discover what has been quietly hidden away. Move quickly to avoid disappointment.
