Overview

A rare opportunity to secure one of Christchurch's most significant heritage homes, with the hardest and most costly restoration work already behind you. A change in circumstances means they're unable to complete their vision, leaving the door open for a new owner to finish what's been started and make it their own. Offered "As Is, Where Is," this home is ready for someone to write its next chapter. Whether you envision a grand family estate or one of Christchurch's finest heritage restorations. Set on approximately 1,065sqm overlooking Elmwood Park, this landmark residence was built in the early 1920s by the England Brothers for Robert Ewing McDougall. It later became the long-time home of the late Sir Hamish Hay during his five terms as Mayor of Christchurch. The land was originally part of the Robert Heaton Rhodes estate, subdivided in 1919, and the home now carries a Category 2 Historic Places listing. The current owners have already invested heavily in the property, including: • Structural strengthe
