A landscape defined by purity & permanence
Tui Estate is one of New Zealand’s most exclusive Canterbury lifestyle properties, comprising sixteen one-hectare freehold lots within 67 hectares at the foothills of the Southern Alps.
Of this, 51 hectares remain as working farmland, grazed by sheep and cattle, that can never be subdivided or developed. What you see is a landscape defined by purity, privacy, and permanence.
