Property Description

The time has come to pass the torch on the Grand Dame of Canterbury, Racecourse Hill. With deeply mixed emotions, the owners have made the momentous decision to entrust the custodianship of this extraordinary estate to new hands. Originally conceived by the visionary Cecil Woods in 1912 and authentically restored a century later, this property is a masterpiece of timeless architecture set amidst a breathtaking landscape of majestic trees and idyllic gardens.

Beyond its grandeur as a private residence, Racecourse Hill offers an array of exceptional amenities, including an Olympic size equestrian ring, stables and facilities, a tennis court, a swimming pool, serene ponds, charming courtyards, expansive terraces, a charming fruit orchard, and a private chapel. The 25 hectares of land, complete with ample outbuildings, and paddocks, provide endless possibilities for personal and commercial endeavours.

Inside, the homestead is nothing short of enchanting. Cecil Woods' genius endures, with an exquisite balance of intimate retreats and opulent entertaining spaces. From elegant dining suites and inviting lounges to a stately snooker room and a ballroom fit for grand occasions, every inch of this home tells a story. A seamless yet subtle distinction exists between the owners' quarters and guest accommodations, ensuring security and privacy.

Meticulously rebuilt and restored to its former glory, the estate boasts state-of-the-art services, while its native timber interiors and rich panelling exude warmth and sophistication. A second kitchen and multiple social spaces further enhance its versatility, making it equally suited to luxurious living or an exclusive commercial venture.

In over 30 years of real estate, we have never encountered a home quite like this - a residence that captivates the soul. Opportunities of this calibre are rare. Act swiftly and contact us today to arrange a private viewing before this remarkable legacy finds its next chapter.
