Our Vision:
It is our objective to present our properties as a fantastic lifestyle option in rural North Canterbury, while only approximately a 50minute drive to the Christchurch International Airport. Our Villas, Townhouses and Apartments are located on the site of the original business centre of the Waikari Township. All of the original buildings on the site that have recently been demolished were there from 1873 until the present time. The location has been a hidden gem for 150 years. Surrounded by health care and recreational facilities our homes are a wonderful Lifestyle living option in a connected community without the high entry cost associated with retirement villages.

The remaining two Villas currently under construction being: 2- bedroom, 2- bathroom spacious Villas at 182sqm with double garage on large private landscaped sites average area 500sqm, with a projected completion March 2025.
The design features an open plan living area including a sunroom, a well appointed kitchen plus a study. 2 x large bedrooms with double wardrobes are located at opposite ends of the house, each has an en-suite bathroom, the main bathroom is a delightful large room with a full size bath. Two outside deck areas plus a private barbeque patio accessed from the living room deck provide multiple outdoor living options. ​

About us and our Goal:
As a small privately owned development, we have a different approach to providing homes to create a wonderful lifestyle in a delightful rural environment and to essentially make your home and the cost of living there desirable and affordable.
Hence we are adopting an independant living environment where the residents have exclusive unimpeded rights to their own home whilst living amongst like minded people, who are there to support each other as a connected community, to gain maximum enjoyment of their later years through a quality lifestyle and location.
It is a great option for lifestyle living in a property with all of the necessary services and recreational facilities being available within the Waikari community,
We want to provide spacious homes of a specific design you will appreciate and be proud to live in which are sunny, private and with a fantastic view over the surrounding countryside and the 5 hectare park reserve opposite our properties with walks, ponds and rest areas.
We also want to benefit from being an integral part of the small community that we live in, and that is reflected in utilising the existing community facilities such as the Lawn Bowls and Golf Clubs etc.
​
Energy costs are an increasing concern in the future which we will be addressing in developing a solar distributed generation installation to be installed over the next 2 years. We want those power bills being kept to an absolute minimum.
