This baronial style mansion is set in a farm landscape in South Canterbury.

A sense of arrival is created by the distinctive entrance wall and gates and the long curvilinear drive. The driveway then punctuates a large semi-circular mound into the arrival court at the house. Garden elements include a swimming pool, tennis court and viewing amphitheatre, pergolas for shade, play area, extensive paving, large trees and vegetable garden.

Blustone paving, lime chip and exotic trees are repeated to make a cohesive design.
