What's around 117 Hackthorne Road

The Cashmere Dream Awaits

Welcome to 'Hill House,' a landmark 1920s residence on 1,702m² (more or less), proudly positioned on the Cashmere hillside. This is a residence of significant grandeur and enduring character, with a rare opportunity for the next buyer to be settled before Christmas. Accessed via a private, hedge-lined driveway, the home feels like a true retreat. Two mature Japanese maple trees frame the entrance of the home, inviting you into a classic entrance, where a sweeping staircase unfolds before you, setting a tone of grandeur and revealing the rich character that defines this six-bedroom property. At the home's heart, the entrance and living room showcase the craftsmanship of the era. The formal living room is defined by its original wood panelling and polished floors, where built-in bench seats frame the stunning city vista and an original built-in wooden liqueur cabinet speaks to a history of entertaining. This space flows to an adjoining sunroom which in turn opens to the deck and a staircase to the lower grounds and extensive storage. From the formal living room, double doors lead into the formal dining room, a grand space complete with a dining table that can comfortably seat a party of 12. Glass double doors lead to an informal lounge and the open-plan kitchen, which is well-supported by a butler's pantry. Off the kitchen, a practical utility area includes the laundry, a boiler room, and the first of three bathrooms. Heating for the home is comprehensive, provided by the diesel boiler system with 14 radiators controlled by a Google Nest Digital Learning Thermostat, and supplemented by two heat pumps. The home's generous floor plan includes six bedrooms. Oriented to the north, the property is positioned for sun, with four of the main bedrooms also featuring adjoining sunrooms—private retreats to enjoy the expansive views over Christchurch City and the Southern Alps. The grounds are a gardener's delight, featuring an established vegetable patch and an array of fruit trees, including varieties of pear, apple, Black Doris plum, Black Boy peach, loquats, and olive to name a few. Fragrant flowers bloom throughout, with specimen roses, lavender, rosemary, foxgloves, orange blossom, hydrangeas, and winter roses, structured by buxus hedging. The driveway culminates in a large turning area with a three-car carport and ample off-street parking for three more vehicles. Set in a sought-after location, this home is zoned for highly desirable schools including Cashmere Primary (Te Pae Kererū) and Cashmere High School. With easy access to walking tracks, and local cafes, this is more than just a home — it’s a chapter of Christchurch’s story, ready for its next custodian. Secure your future in this landmark home before Christmas. For sale by Deadline Sale, closing 4:00 PM, Thursday 4th December (unless sold prior).

A True 5 Star Agency

Having bought an sold a number of properties over many years, I have to say Jeremy and his team at Kelleher Real Estate did an outstanding job in preparing, marketing and selling our home in a staggeringly short timeframe. The entire process was professional and exemplary. From assisting us in preparing the house for sale, suggesting top consultants and contractors, staging specialists, landscapers and videographers who took ownership of their roles and worked together to achieve an exceptional result. Jeremy’s professionalism and experience was key to the successful marketing approach and his communications and technology platforms kept us well informed in real time throughout the entire journey. The highlight of course was when Jeremy and Lilly presented two offers in the multi-offer deadline sale. We were truly floored by both offers and delighted to see the home pass to a young family who clearly loved the home as much as we did. Thanks Jeremy and all of your awesome team at Kelleher.

Outstanding Real Estate Professional

Lilly's performance throughout the entire sales journey was flawless. Her knowledge, communications and professionalism throughout the process was exemplary. Closing the sale at an exceptional price after only 20 days is extraordinary and my wife and I are thrilled with the result. We will certainly be recommending her to all of our friends and acquaintances. We loved her friendly and ethical approach while dealing with both vendor and potential buyers and she won the trust and respect of everyone in the process. She worked tirelessly through the whole campaign and went the extra mile in dealing with builders, project managers and utility providers to ensure no detail was overlooked. Thank you Lilly and well done!
