'Dunstable' Pride of Place; Love for the Land

Any property that bares the national flag represents a timeless respect for the country and symbolises an innate sense of belonging. For the last seventeen years the owners of 'Dunstable' have meticulously shaped and moulded the 1.143 hectares (2.75acres) into a garden paradise, utilising their many years of experience gained from living on their prior country estates. Around 1985 the original 1920's house was re-located from the banks of the Avon within the CBD and over the years been lovingly restored to create a substantial family home to function well for intimate living through to grand scale entertaining. This beautiful home comprises a multitude of living spaces; a country style kitchen connects to the everyday informal living area along with the separate dining, or breakfast room. A further two, very elegantly appointed living rooms interconnect and overlook the gorgeous gardens to the north and the in-ground pool to the west with both featuring outdoor flow. Dual entrances to the hallway lead to a large office and then on upstairs to three large bedrooms, a smaller fourth and the family bathroom. The remarkable main suite incorporates an en-suite, large dressing room and a day bed for endless hours relaxing privately in the sun. The house is set around the outdoor entertaining area, the solar heated pool and spa supported by a separate kitchenette-bar room, plus a separate shower-changing room and wc. This is an ideal retreat zone for cooling off, or freshening up after a vigorous match on the full-sized, astro-turf tennis court. On into the irrigated grounds that burgeon with vivid flora and the produce of the raised vegetable planters; the birdlife sonorous within the picturesque setting. Aside from the internal access triple garaging, the property offers a large three-four bay barn with mezzanine floor and mechanics pit along with other storage or implement sheds. This property borders a 5,016m2 bare land lot to the north with power, a well with pump and tank, plus good shelter - acquire just the one property or the two together to increase the land holding, add a horse paddock, or hold for investment.

Top 5% Bayleys Agents Nationwide
Joining the industry in 2002, Chris has carved out an incredible track record of success. He has reached over $1 billion in total sales, and named the No. 1 Bayleys agent nationwide (five years in a row). And he’s done it through honesty, dedication, extremely hard work and a relaxed yet highly professional approach.

Originally specialising in the lifestyle market, Chris had regular feedback from vendors in other parts of the market wanting the same style and service for their properties. So 10 years ago he started to build a team of like-minded people and is now surrounded by Nathan, Sam and Sarah plus Felicity, Michele, Claudia and Bianca based in the office. Together they cover more ground and are able to achieve greater results for clients across Canterbury.

The effect has been outstanding. For three years the Chris Jones Team achieved the most sales of all agents and companies in the country, as awarded by REINZ. “Our style isn’t to shout it from the roof tops but we are New Zealand’s number one team, thanks to our amazing clients.”

A remarkable result for a refreshingly down-to-earth agent and team, and a vote of confidence for anyone wishing to sell property in Canterbury or beyond.

“Our repeat and referral clients make up a huge portion of our business. This is hugely satisfying as it means we must be doing okay!”
