3 Deans Avenue, Riccarton, Christchurch
A little Yellowstone. A lot of North Canterbury. This is a ranch with attitude and an infrastructure that means business.
Imagine congregating around the open fire, whiskey poured from the bar, the perfect place to unwind while dinner is simmering away in the Aga oven. With a wellbeing retreat area, swim year round in the indoor heated swimjet swimming pool, relax in the sauna, soak in the spa. Indulge in the peace, breathe in the fresh air, settle back to admire the breathtaking scenery.
The rustic aesthetics of interior mudbrick and schist accents with timber joinery create an earthy, substantial feel. Exposed beams, timber floorboards, iron door hardware and chandeliers bring together a look that could have been lifted straight from a ranch in Yellowstone. Large windows and french doors draw the outside in, with decking wrapping around to capture mesmerising views towards the mountains and across the Canterbury Plains.
The facilities are exceptional. Sheltered, thoughtfully planned and purpose-built, this is an operation ready to accommodate serious equestrian pursuits.
The equestrian and lifestyle infrastructure includes:
• Lockable eight-stable equestrian barn complex featuring a wash bay, three tie up stalls, tack room, feed room and cover area.
• Twelve sheltered post and rail fenced paddocks accessed by a central laneway
• Two covered yards
• Covered horse walker for 10 horses
• Round pen
• Approximately 800m all weather track
• Covered horse truck drive through park
• Three bay shed plus workshop with workshop pit, overhead hoist and power
• Additional three bay shed and a variety of other sheds
• Greenhouse with irrigation.
Whether you are looking to operate a training or agistment facility, establish a private equestrian sanctuary, or simply want a property where horses, family and lifestyle take centre stage, the possibilities are considerable.
Despite the feeling of being a world away, Rangiora is just 10 minutes away, with Christchurch International Airport approximately 35 minutes by car.
Some properties are simply difficult to compare. This is one of them.
