Taunton Gardens. New Zealand- Beautiful in Every Way!
A superb lifestyle so close to Christchurch
Set in the spectacular Taunton Gardens is this 6.2 hectare masterpiece of natural streams, elegant gardens and finally crafted dwellings. The inviting homestead has been lovingly extended and refurbished in recent times whilst preserving the original facade and inherent character. The home extends over two levels incorporating four bedrooms, two bathrooms (master with ensuite and walk in robe), both formal and family living plus a separate drawing room. Spacious and comfortable the kitchen and living area open through wide French doors to an utterly beautiful, sun-drenched outdoor BBQ or entertainment area. The rear courtyard is just as inviting as the front and is complemented by a well lit art studio.
Guest accommodation includes a five-star self-contained cottage just in behind the main house and the garden cottage which overlooks the lower gardens. Both these units are self contained and very well apportioned.
The 2 hectares approximately of award-winning garden consist of intriguing pathways leading to features such as an amphitheatre of some two hundred varieties of hosta, rhododendrons, trilliums and a treasure trove of other interesting and beautiful plants. Flowing streams, bridges and tailor made ponds complete this exceptional master piece.
The paddock behind the house and the hill block would be suitable for horses and other live stock. They also hold a prime strategic location for future development with commanding views over the harbour.
Income has been generated from the nursery and garden tours as well as the accommodation throughout the year. The property also features a three car garage, three bay lockable shed and workshop, large tunnel house, shade house, toilet block and food preparation area next to the fully fenced hard surface tennis court.
Never before has a property offered so much, it is as much a beautiful place to live as it is an exciting place to make a living off.
Buyers looking for a relaxed, peaceful lifestyle property close to Christchurch should not miss this opportunity.
