Manuka Bay Lodge is now for Sale. It sits on 8.4753 hectares of prime coastal land that has fantastic sea views and frontage onto the Manuka Bay Beach area and Port Robinson Walkway.

The owners have had a change in circumstances since starting to build their dream home and luxury accommodation lodge on one of the best lifestyle blocks in Canterbury, so now regretfully have to sell it.

The House is not quite finished, but all the hard construction work has been completed. The main living area, two storey section and double garage are all locked up, internally the Kitchen open lounge and dinning rooms are practically complete with all new kitchen appliances. The two upstairs very generous sized bedrooms with ensuite are all framed up. More bedrooms, bathroom, laundry are framed up downstairs. The luxury designer kitchen features exotic granite bench tops, subtle LED illuminated glass bench accents, back painted glass cabinetry; it is designed to meet the new health and safety standards for B&B food preparation.

A third wing to the house is only partially completed with the roof currently serving as undercover storage. This third wing is designed to have a timber floor; much of the new Rimu T&G flooring and all the matching joinery to complete this final stage is included in the property sale, (included are all the timber and alloy windows and doors plus plenty of native timbers). To date the house has been built with no expense spared, it was designed to make best use of the ocean view and last many generations, well over-engineered, the best window and doors have been used, with laminated and toughened tinted glass.

Next to the house is a fruiting orchard planted in advance to building about 7 years ago, along with many olive trees which are now producing.

Below the house but out of sight is a large lock up workshop with 4 roller doors, windows and a ranch slider. It had a very thick, sealed concrete floor to take heavy machinery and a well formed stone driveway. It could garage 6 large vehicles and other farm machinery. It also has ocean views looking through a mature pine forest.

The property also has another farm shed that has been used for Shearing and Hay storage in the past. One accommodation chalet has been located on a cliff top to get great beach views.

Five large French Oak Wine Barrels are located near the shed, as it was the owners’ intention to plant a vineyard and produce wine on the property.

Large Irrigation tanks are also in place to permit a golf driving range and green to be formed on the rolling land below the house.

The house has been finished to such a stage that any new owner just has to complete the interior of the bedrooms and ensuites to their own taste.

Due to the unfinished state this magnificent property has been priced much lower to reflect that more development work is needed, however the end is now in sight!

The Manuka Bay Lodge property is for sale at NZ$1,450,000 + GST
