A Feast for the Senses

This sublime coastal estate possesses a commanding position at the head of Lyttelton Harbour, from which you can experience sweeping water views, sumptuous gardens, a tranquil bushland backdrop and the steady serenade of native birds.

Being offered in two titles, together totalling almost two hectares (19,781m2), this is a rare opportunity to secure a charismatic Peninsula lifestyle together with a substantial parcel of land bordering the Sage Arboretum Scenic Reserve.

177 Main Road, Governors Bay is home to a timeless residence brimming with personality and enveloped in the most magnificent blanket of botanical beauty - sun-dappled lawns, impressive trees, and glorious fragrance from beautifully established shrubs. Surprisingly crafted only three decades ago, it nestles seamlessly into its marvellous environs, its wine-red weatherboard cladding neatly echoing the area's rural and maritime heritage.

The kitchen offers true country hospitality and sits naturally within the heart of the home and weaves off to an array of interconnecting living and dining rooms which feature gorgeous timber detailing and soaring rooflines. Free-flowing interior spaces transition seamlessly to a series of outdoor decks and lawns, enjoying heavenly panoramas.

The convenience of a downstairs bedroom and commensurate bathroom facilities ensures flexibility for occupants of all ages, with a separate laundry rounding out the ground floor features.

The upstairs floorplan comprises three double bedrooms, each enjoying built-in robes and direct terrace access. The master enjoys ensuite privileges with the rest of the accommodation equally well serviced by a third bathroom. A self-contained annex to the main dwelling, including a full kitchen, provides further possibilities for guest accommodation, extended family, or rental income.
179 Main Road contains 11936m2 of prime promontory land, currently managed as pastoral it lends itself to a variety of uses subject to council regulations. Both 177 & 179 are zoned for large residential zone of 1000m2 per site.

Easily commutable to Christchurch, this unique Allandale property is also well placed for Governors Bay Primary School and the village centre, with zoning for Cashmere High School just 15 minutes' drive away further enhancing the home's appeal.

Providing an incredibly unique lifestyle opportunity with the promise of so much more, discerning buyers are sure to be impressed. Contact today for more information.
