Setting a new benchmark for contemporary elegance within the prestigious Cashmere Estate, this architectural tour de force is quite simply in a league of its own. Poised on an elevated 889 sqm landholding to capture intimate hillside vistas, this light-bathed sanctuary harmonises grand proportions with an effortless, organic flow. Pairing six double bedrooms with a Mediterranean-inspired soul, this is a residence that doesn't just look spectacular - it feels extraordinary.

Spanning an expansive 280 sqm (approx.), the home has been "finely tuned" for the modern connoisseur. The social heart is a culinary masterpiece; a high-specification kitchen where dramatic black cabinetry strikes a bold contrast against a soft, luminous palette, anchored by the organic elegance of David Trubridge statement lighting. Bathed in natural light via strategic skylights and floor-to-ceiling glazing, the dining and living pavilion serves as a sun-drenched stage for world-class entertaining. Whether you are hosting at the bold island bench or retreating to the separate, quiet lounge for a cinematic escape, the spatial design ensures every occasion is catered for with ease. For the professional, a bespoke hidden office is cleverly tucked behind doors, offering a refined workspace that disappears the moment the laptop closes.

The accommodation is equally impressive. The Master Sanctuary is a study in luxury and scale, boasting a dual-wardrobe configuration (spacious walk-in and built-in) and a lavishly tiled ensuite. Five additional double bedrooms are strategically zoned in a dedicated wing, ensuring total privacy for family or guests, supported by a high-spec family bathroom and a seamless separate laundry.

The transition to the outdoors is nothing short of breathtaking. Step through expansive sliders to an oasis that makes you feel like you're on holiday every day. Wrapped in imported Italian bricks, the Mediterranean-inspired grounds feature a sun-soaked Kwila hardwood deck and a heated in-ground swimming pool. The rear of the property opens into a true family paradise; here, a wonderful vegetable garden blooms, alongside a generous flat lawn with ample room for the trampoline.

Winter warmth is curated by a feature fire providing an ambient glow, supplemented by multiple high-wall heat pumps for effortless climate control. Practicality matches the prestige with an oversized internal access garage and extensive off-street parking, purpose-built to house a campervan, boat, or additional fleet. Positioned just 15 minutes from the CBD and bordered by world-class trails and vibrant café culture, you are in-zone for the city's academic elite: Thorrington & Cashmere Primary, Christchurch South Intermediate, and the acclaimed Cashmere High School.

Six-bedroom residences of this calibre and class are a rare find and often sought but seldom found. This is a property that demands an in-person inspection to truly appreciate the sun-soaked flow and the sheer scale on offer. Our vendors are committed to their next chapter; join us at the open home and prepare to be moved.
