Relinquishing The Legacy

With extreme mixed emotions, the owners of Racecourse Hill Homestead have determined that new custodians will better benefit this peerless property inspired and crafted by Cecil Woods in 1912, and essentially rebuilt authentically a century later.

The picturesque Racecourse Hill Homestead has an abundance of potential as a large family home, luxury accommodation, or events venue.

The setting amongst majestic trees and in idyllic gardens is sublime. Equestrian facilities, the tennis court, swimming pool, ponds, courtyards and terraces, and even its own private chapel inspire thoughts that uses may extend beyond a redoubtable private residence. Utilitarian outbuildings are more than ample for paddocks making up the 25 hectares.

The homestead and its grounds exude a surreal ambience. Cecil Woods' design is pure genius, right to this day. Spaces for quiet private time complement lavish entertaining spaces, dining suites, lounges, snooker or ballroom. Likewise there is a subtle separation from the owners' to guest quarters.

The comprehensive restoration a decade ago ensured all services and particularly heating are all contemporary.

That second kitchen and plethora of social spaces also would facilitate commercial possibilities. The décor and all materials have been sympathetically and meticulously chosen, the internal native timbers and panelling exude warmth and comfort.

In a nutshell, in over 30 years of real estate we have never been so captivated by a home and just an easy 40 minute drive from Christchurch. Call now for an exclusive viewing of this majestic property.
