Set within a private, tree-lined oasis on the edge of Blenheim, this remarkable estate offers a unique combination of refined living, a tranquil retreat, and business potential.

“It’s the perfect scenario where you can have a bespoke executive home, you can work from home, and also have multiple business opportunities across four additional dwellings” says Bayleys salesperson Mike Poff.

“It’s the perfect property for a doctor relocating from Auckland, or someone wanting to run or start a business away from the main centres.”

At its core is an architecturally designed four-bedroom home that seamlessly merges contemporary elegance with natural charm. Each room is a private haven, complete with ensuite and direct outdoor access. The master suite takes luxury a step further with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite with a double shower, heated concrete floors, and a freestanding bath.

“The house was built by endurance cyclist and builder Craig Harper. Every screw, nail and bolt is to the highest quality and detail. This was his dream home - hand built and architecturally designed.”

Craig has lived at the property for eight years with his wife Kate, a former rower and medic at the 2004 Athens Olympics.

“Kate grew up on a farm in north Canterbury and her father bought a whole lot of timber from a local bridge that was dismantled in the sixties and stored on the family farm. We used some of it in the previous home we built, and did the same at 44 David Street” says Harper.

“There wasn’t enough for any load bearing beams, so we used it to elevate the look of some of the rooms as the timber is this beautiful rich dark red colour.”

A chef’s dream, the kitchen blends the bespoke timber detailing with premium stone benchtops, induction hobs, a walk-in pantry, and an integrated dishwasher. The open-plan layout ensures effortless flow into the sun-filled living areas, where expansive windows frame the picturesque surroundings.

“The entire space and outdoor area is really well-positioned to maximise daylight hours. We’ve had lots of BBQs, family gatherings and most recently a big 50th there last year.”

Underfloor heating and a statement fireplace add warmth and character, while a secondary lounge—complete with a built-in study nook and log fire—provides a cosy retreat.

A sweeping deck leads to a heated inground pool, spa, and a bohemian-style pool house, offering an inviting atmosphere for gatherings or quiet relaxation. A covered BBQ pergola and an expanse of lawn adorned with fruit and citrus trees complete this outdoor paradise.

“It’s like a complete sanctuary. It’s as if you’re living in your own private resort with everything you need all in one place” says Poff.

Adding further value is a modern, self-contained one-bedroom cottage, perfect for guest accommodation, extended family, or an Airbnb opportunity.

“Could easily be rented out for a short-term stay or a long-term tenant. There’s also one of the rooms in the main house that could be used as an Air Bnb with its own ensuite and private courtyard.

‘There’s so many revenue opportunities across this stunning site.”

Beyond the residential offerings, the estate is also home to the well-established Body Restore Clinic, a luxury wellness retreat with four fully equipped treatment rooms, each with individual heat pumps for year-round comfort. A full kitchen and bathroom enhance the space’s versatility, while a serene courtyard adds to the sense of escape. Adjacent, a dedicated studio offers a purpose-built environment for yoga, dance, or wellness sessions, opening up further lifestyle or business possibilities.

“The vendors operate their own business out of two of the rooms, but there’s multiple businesses running out of the property.”

“There’s the opportunity to keep those existing businesses running, or for them to move out and for you to start fresh.”

Whether you’re seeking a luxurious home, an income-generating opportunity, or a peaceful retreat, this property delivers it all.
