Set on 2.2 hectares on the outskirts of Christchurch, Fairhaven was conceived as an authentic Southern American plantation-style estate, embodying elegance and architectural grandeur.

Encompassing a four storey residence with an indoor pool pavilion, billiards room, bar, cinema and substantial garaging, the 1700 square metre homestead is defined by stately columns, symmetrical proportions and expansive two-level verandahs.  A grand double-height entrance hall forms the heart of the design, creating a strong spatial axis that connects formal and family living spaces.

Extensive glazing affords views across the landscaped grounds encompassing a sunken lawn oval, natural water features and formal fountains, whilst a floodlit tennis court, adventure playground and secluded rose garden complete this enduring family estate.
