Description

A Grand Country Lifestyle - Space, Charm & Possibilities

Set beneath wide skies with panoramic views, Ardross House offers the ultimate country lifestyle - a stunning homestead on 5.26ha of flat land in North Canterbury, with room to grow and potential for boutique ventures (subject to consent). Whether you dream of hosting guests, running a gallery or tearoom, or simply enjoying rural serenity, this could be your next chapter.

Proudly 150 years old, this landmark homestead has been lovingly restored, combining historic elegance with modern comfort. Inside, you'll find polished kauri floors, a sweeping staircase, chandeliers, ornate plasterwork, marble fireplace surrounds, and charming paned windows.

The home offers five generous bedrooms - three with private en suites - plus an Art Deco bathroom downstairs. The luxurious master suite includes a walk-through wardrobe and en suite with chandelier and oversized tub.

Three living areas provide flexibility and flow, warmed by a Canadian wood burner and a second fireplace in the formal lounge. With double glazing, wool insulation, and underfloor heating, comfort is assured year-round.

The smeg kitchen with marble benchtops and gas cooking is perfect for entertaining.

Currently run as a successful Airbnb (earning approx. $200 per night), guest rooms include bar fridge, microwave, and tea/coffee facilities. With highway access and spectacular views of Mt Grey, it's also ideal for weddings or small events (subject to consent).

Outside, enjoy an orchard with apricots, apples, cherries, and walnuts, plus landscaped gardens designed by a 1960s landscape architect. A rear entrance via Greney's Lane allows heavy vehicle access.

There's a two-car garage with timber-lined office/sleepout, older farm sheds, a three-bay storage area, and lined workshops with power and water. Water is supplied via council and a solar-powered well with filtration. A mature eucalypt block provides quality firewood.

Ardross House is timeless, versatile, and full of magic. Will you be its next proud owner?
