Property Description

Records suggest 59 Grehan Valley Road was constructed by and probably for George Haylock, owner and manager of the adjacent Grehan Mills flour mill, and his family in about 1863. In latter years, this was home to New Zealand's renowned rose afficianado, Barbara Lea Taylor.

Haylock Homestead has architectural and aesthetic significance as a comparatively early colonial dwelling. It is a one-and-a-half storey cottage with adjoining single storey gabled wing. The main section of the cottage has two doghouse dormers and straight verandas are carried on simple paired supports. However, the home has undergone alteration and extension over the last 162 years as needs have dictated. The kitchen was extended at the rear and the cupboard stairs were remodelled by renowned architect Colin Pilbrow.

While her current owners have adored their short guardianship, family commitments necessitate a move, leaving one lucky buyer a huge opportunity to own a piece of local Akaroa history.

On offer inside the residence is three bedrooms (one downstairs) as well as a bathroom and separate laundry. Entertaining is easy with a spacious formal living room overlooking the garden. A charming open plan kitchen and dining complete the picture. Guests and family can spill out on to the verandah as needed and soak up the all day-sun (such a rarity!) while enjoying the famed birdsong, the nearby stream and the expansive garden and neighbouring landscapes. For the gardeners amongst you, you will appreciate the fruit trees (Black Boy Peach, Apples and Fig) and the abundant fragrance of Winter Suite and the many roses.

To suggest there is further opportunity here is not to downplay all that's on offer. Haylock Homestead, next to the former site of the Grehan Mills flour mill is an absolute gem and viewing is essential to fully appreciate her.

You can take the girl out of Grenadier but you can’t take Grenadier out of the girl.

During a long and distinguished career with Harcourts Grenadier, Jackie has achieved some pretty impressive results. After just her first year in the business in 2001 she finished the year in the Top 20 in Canterbury and won Grenadier’s coveted ‘Rookie of the Year’.
Nine years later, after building a highly successful real estate career in Christchurch, Jackie was asked to join Harcourts NZ in Auckland in a recruiting role. One year later she was offered the role of Academy Trainer and Business Development Manager with Harcourts International at their new Orange County office in California.

Following several years in the USA, Jackie is back in the city where it all began.

“Ultimately, I simply love what I do. Whether it’s getting a great result for my vendors at auction, finding that perfect home for a buyer or being referred to someone new that needs my help, this can be a very rewarding business. And when my clients’ real estate experience is a positive one, I know they’ll come back and refer their friends and family to me.”
