Tui Creek, Canterbury is a 720 acre traditional stock farm and conservation area near Christchurch ? New Zealand?s second city. Sixteen individual properties have been built within the working sheep and cattle farm offering top level accommodation and private tennis courts and stables. The surrounding panoramic setting echoes the scenery in the film Lord of the Rings and is perfect for powder skiing at Mt Hutt in winter, horse trekking and walking in summer. Trout fishing can be done on the nearby Rakaia River and there is a fabulous golf course at Terrace Downs. Facilities at Tui Creek include dressage arenas, a show jumping arena and cross-country course, a polo field and tracks for walking and biking. Crisp sunny days are a feature of Canterbury winters making it possible to ski in the morning and play golf in the afternoon. Each house at Tui Creek is fitted with high-speed internet and satellite television and situated on a separate freehold lot of no less than one hectare with landscaped gardens designed to compliment the surrounding environment. As owners in common, residents are free to roam about farm, and make full use extensive facilities and conservation areas. Owners are at liberty to watch farm activities such as sheep shearing and help with the mustering of stock, or feeding out.
