Glentui Bush Road, Oxford, Canterbury

The vendors have owned this 8ha property for 32 years, built this incredible homestead in 1995 and have lived there ever since. Now it is reluctantly time for their next chapter, a huge sacrifice for them, but it must be done. 

Plenty of bush and Bellbirds, and a stroll down to the river for all the solitude you require. Further up the river is the Glentui waterfall. That's just for starters...

The home is designed by well-known architect Peter Beaven, it feels so modern and up to date. There is a definite "wow factor" when you first step through the front door into the living area. 

Vaulted ceilings, tiled floors, and a lovely soft blue tone that is more involving than the photos show. Then there is the stone on the walls. This is material from the immediate landscape, gathered cleaned and installed by the vendors themselves. Now that's a labour of love if ever there was one. All this is set off by the large windows that view out to the valley and let the light and warmth in from the north. 
The kitchen was designed by Davinia Sutton with tones that blend in with the other natural colours. There is a built-in fridge/freezer and dishwasher, granite benchtop and double sink.

 A decent logburner and heatpump give you heating options. There is also zoned underfloor heating throughout.There is the large north facing deck to entertain and relax on and look out at your piece of paradise and beyond. Adding to the appeal are two separate studios with the same stunning views. Great places for a bit of solitude to write that book, paint that painting, or meditate.  

There are five paddocks suitable for stock and horses, a macrocarpa woodlot for years of firewood. Plenty of sheds of various sizes have been strategically placed for storage and parking.

 You could be miles away from everything with the feeling of solitude and privacy and still have all the connectedness you need/want for modern living.

Come out and experience all of it, and own all that this special place has to offer.
