ID#288998 - Redcliffs, Christchurch City

It is with absolute pleasure and delight that we bring to the market this enchanting property, and for the first time in over 60 years. Sadly, it is offered as part of an Estate Realisation yet with many, many happy memories of a childhood filled with adventure and simple pleasures. Perched just above the Christchurch Yacht Club in Moncks Bay the vista spread out below encompasses Shag 'Rock', the South New Brighton spit and then on across the bay to Christchurch Estuary and the Southern Alps. Framing these wonderful views is the house built by Richard Douglas, an architect who spent over a year labouring on the house he had designed for his family and where he would happily reside for nearly six decades. In immaculate but almost original condition Richard Douglas' choice of native timbers for his home ensure that a complete renovation of the house is an option for those who appreciate the design and aspect on the lower slopes. This beautiful, 3,086sqm site comes sheltered by extensive Macrocarpa Hedging and rises gently from the road up the eastern slope. Offering several platforms for building, the current house is on the lower platform with outbuildings, gardens and orchard areas above it. A variety of fruit trees are dotted around the expanse of this ¾ acre property along with the many other mature trees providing shelter to the myriad of birdlife which are evident throughout the day and early evening. Without neighbours to look in, it is easy to appreciate the privacy and solitude along with the massive potential this lovely property offers. For genuine sale, please call to arrange a viewing.

Adam Heazlewood

Bayleys Whalan & Partners Ltd - Merivale

Licensed Real Estate Salesperson (REAA 2008), Member of the REINZ

Adam’s bright start in real estate has been backed up by a steady stream of awards over the years. In 2015, at age 24, he became the youngest ever to reach the Top Achievers threshold for Bayleys New Zealand and has remained within the top 5% of over 1,000 agents. With consistent recognition as one of the best sales people in the country, he has gained a well-deserved reputation as “a sure thing”.

Adam’s upbringing may have something to do with where he is today. As the eldest of six children and with a father in property, Adam gained an interest in real estate and learned effective negotiation skills from day dot.

Today, Adam relishes being in a career where people are rewarded for results. His remarkable outcomes for clients are equal parts talent and hard work. Adam never meets a client without doing his homework first. His presentation is second to none, whether that’s himself, his team or the properties he brings to market.

Adam’s confidence and energy is infectious. His drive to succeed is underpinned by a strong foundation of ethics and honesty. He does the best for clients and knows how to achieve that extra 5% – without compromising on integrity or trust.

“In this industry, relationships are everything. If you’re knowledgeable, present well, are upfront and put in the hard yards, you can achieve incredible results for clients. Real estate is an absolute passion for me and I can’t imagine doing anything else. Ever.”
