There comes a point where ease becomes just as important as space. Where weekends are no longer spent maintaining a large property, but enjoying the freedom to travel, dine out, walk the city, and simply lock up and leave without a second thought. Yet for many, townhouse living has never quite delivered the privacy, comfort, or proportions they were truly looking for.

That’s what makes 237 Salisbury Street so compelling.

A boutique collection of just four executive residences, each home offers between 167 - 170 sq m of thoughtfully considered space, complete with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, internal-access garaging, and the rare luxury of private lift access across all levels.

Designed with downsizers and lifestyle-focused buyers in mind, these homes deliver the comfort and functionality of a traditional home, paired with the simplicity of modern inner-city living. Future-proofed for long-term ease, the inclusion of residential lifts allows owners to age in place without compromise, while generous proportions and extensive storage ensure everyday practicality remains front of mind.

Construction is due to commence shortly, with completion anticipated in early 2027. Crafted by Rosefern Homes, these residences have been designed to a premium specification with a focus on enduring quality, low-maintenance living, and timeless design.

Inside, warm contemporary interiors are complemented by custom walnut-toned joinery, luxurious tiled bathrooms with underfloor heating, ducted climate control, Miele appliances, feature lighting, and carefully curated materials throughout. Smart-home features including keyless entry, smartphone garage access, EV charging pre-wire, solar readiness, and ventilation systems further enhance comfort, security, and future functionality.

Positioned on the edge of Christchurch’s revitalised CBD, you are moments from New Regent Street, Riverside Market, Te Kaha Stadium, the Avon River trails, cafés, restaurants, boutiques, and everyday conveniences. It is a location increasingly sought after by buyers wanting connection, security, and lifestyle without sacrificing quality.

Unlike many inner-city developments, these homes offer genuine lock-and-leave practicality without compromising on scale, specification, or comfort. Permanent material construction, private outdoor spaces, and internal garaging combine to create homes designed not only for today, but for years to come.

With only four available, opportunities of this calibre within the central city remain increasingly difficult to find.

Unit 1 — $1,445,000
Unit 2 — $1,425,000
Unit 3 — $1,425,000
Unit 4 — $1,525,000

The Top Floor Advantage in Clear Ridge

Steeped in history and surrounded by enchanted woodland this is far more than a lifestyle property, it is one of Canterbury's significant country estates - a place of beauty and enduring legacy, ready to welcome its next custodian. Remarkably secluded, yet only 30 minutes from Christchurch's central city, the estate offers the rare privilege of true country living without sacrificing urban convenience. 

Beyond the sweeping circular driveway sits the beautifully restored homestead set across 7.6 hectares (approximately 19 acres), providing an exceptional sense of privacy and tranquility,

Originally part of a 1,000-acre farm established in 1863, the estate has evolved through more than 160 years of careful custodianship, with each owner contributing to its enduring legacy. Now encompassing a collection of character outbuildings, the property includes a functioning woolshed with integrated cottage, three-bay implement shed and a triple garage. Two grazing paddocks complete the quintessential country lifestyle.

Following the Canterbury earthquakes the residence underwent an extensive and sympathetic restoration including structural strengthening, new coloursteel roof, six reconstructed brick chimneys and eight fireplaces, upgraded insulation and redecoration.

It is a home to be lived in and loved for generations. For children, this is a place where imagination thrives. A magnificent woodland to have your very own teddy bears picnic, build forts and create lifelong memories. Towering redwoods, mature oaks, elms, rhododendrons, camellias, and productive fruit trees create a landscape of extraordinary beauty.

A series of elegant living spaces provide flexible living and entertaining options, including a grand foyer, formal lounge, dining room, library and den. Each room is centred around an inviting fireplace, creating an atmosphere of warmth and comfort.
The ground floor provides two bedrooms and family bathroom, while the first floor features two oversized bedrooms, shared bathroom and children’s room with the flexibility to create a fifth bedroom.

After a treasured 27-year stewardship, the owners have made the heartfelt decision to pass Lawford to its next custodians. Opportunities to acquire an estate of this significance are exceptionally rare, offering the chance to become part of a remarkable Canterbury story that will endure for generations.

Don't miss this rare opportunity. Schedule your private viewing today by calling Sarouen or Chris.

Lawford

Drawing inspiration from Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s iconic Barcelona Pavilion, this residence celebrates the essence of modernist architecture - open space, purity of form, and an enduring dialogue between structure and landscape. A creation by David Ponting and Matthew Fitzgerald, the home is a triumph of precision and material mastery, its refinement placing it in a league of its own.

The use of Himalayan schist is both deliberate and poetic, its texture and tone uniting the architecture from the gateway through to the heart of the home. A glass-walled gallery encases a striking central pool, framed by schist walls that anchor the residence to its natural setting, while overhead, a floating sail roof amplifies its sculptural elegance.

A palette of Brazilian stone, wood-grained concrete, and American white ash, evokes understated luxury, illuminated by shifting light from broad glazing and skylights that animate the interiors throughout the day. Spanning 809 sq m more or less (as stated in supplied council consent documents), the home offers four en-suited bedrooms including a master suite of rare calibre, complete with dual vanities and his-and-hers amenities.

Living zones transition seamlessly outdoors to 283 sq m more or less (as stated in supplied council consent documents) of terraces designed for private entertaining, while intelligent CBUS automation, underfloor heating across 11 zones, and a media room with concealed projector deliver technological sophistication and comfort.

Set across four hectares of manicured land, this residence is a landmark in contemporary architecture. An extraordinary expression of craftsmanship and vision for those who appreciate the finest in design and scale.

Brand New. Beautifully Considered

This tightly held enclave of townhouses - architect designed by Sheppard & Rout and built by Fletcher Living - have arguably the best position of the central city nestled overlooking the leafy Otakaro Avon River precinct.  The owners purchased off-plans and have enjoyed it as their permanent residence, but a change of plan requires an imminent sale.  With flexible settlement terms to suit you, whether you make this an astute investment or a lock & leave townhouse you won't ever regret buying the real estate trifecta: location, quality and lifestyle. 

Custom upgrades include engineered oak flooring across all three levels, a high spec Neff wall oven for ease of reach and custom wardrobe cabinetry in each bedroom.  Large wall spans provide ample room for statement art pieces to make this townhouse feel like home.  Bathed in sunlight both morning and afternoon ensures natural warmth (complemented by the ducted air-conditioning system) and a choice of defined spaces to relax throughout the day, no matter the season.

The single internal access carpeted garage offers secure parking year-round; but with everything so close you'll be walking everywhere! Residents are just a stone’s throw from the city’s best dining, shopping and entertainment experiences, as well as popular destinations like the Court Theatre, Isaac Theatre Royal, One NZ Stadium, Margaret Mahy Playground and the shopping boutiques near Cashel Mall.  

The flexible layout of three bedrooms plus three bathrooms, (including an accessible ground floor bedroom and bathroom) is complemented by a full size kitchen.  Modern acoustics are exceptional with high grade window glazing and concrete panel walls between units.  This truly is an inner city sanctuary that needs to be viewed to be fully appreciated.

A Fabulous Family Home in a Golden Location.

Some homes follow convention. This one never intended to.

Inspired by Mediterranean travel, 30 McLeods Road is the realisation of an extraordinary vision. Designed by architect Philip Kennedy and originally commissioned by a Christchurch builder with a passion for architectural form, the residence evolved over many years into one of Canterbury's most distinctive homes. A scale model of the original design, still held at the property, remains a lasting reminder of the ambition behind the project.

Positioned within a peaceful rural setting near Sefton, the home unfolds across three interconnected towers and five levels, where scale, elevation and sweeping coastal views define the living experience. A sculptural spiral staircase forms the heart of the home, while a lift provides effortless access throughout. Its architectural significance was later recognised through its feature on Grand Designs New Zealand.

Designed for both everyday living and memorable entertaining, the residence offers generous accommodation, multiple living areas and a central courtyard inspired by traditional Mediterranean planning. A separate two bedroom apartment, complete with its own kitchen, living area and bathroom, provides exceptional flexibility for guests, extended family or independent living.

Four internal access garage spaces, generous off street parking, a dedicated wine cellar and a collection of distinctive character spaces, further reinforce the home's remarkable individuality.

More than a home, 30 McLeods Road is the expression of an extraordinary vision, where architectural ambition and enduring craftsmanship have created a residence unlike any other.
