Amberley Country Estate

We are delighted to introduce Amberley Country Estate, an exciting new 250 home Retirement Village, located 35 minutes north of Christchurch at the gateway to the Hurunui District.

Amberley Country Estate is a unique and spacious retirement village that, when completed, will have 250 homes sprawled over 37 acres with views of the surrounding hills. With well spread-out villas in a range of designs, Amberley Country Estate looks more like a residential subdivision than a typical retirement village. The 350m2 temporary Recreation Centre is already completed and features communal areas with a pool table and a bar plus a library, gym and spa pool. A permanent Recreation Centre, 4 times that size, is now under construction and will open in 2026. This will be the heart of the village, with a café, bar, pool tables, dance floor, library, gymnasium, indoor swimming pool, spa pool, movie room, crafts room, ‘Men’s Shed’, outdoor dining, bowling green and petanque, regular happy hour, excursions in the village van, and village activities and events allowing residents to be as social as they please. For resident’s peace of mind, a state of the art care facility is planned.

A Layout that is Very Different to Most Other Villages.
Instead of lines of similar homes in a row, Amberley Country Estate’s wide range of villas and larger yards mean each street set out in a uniquely distinctive layout. Some have shared right-of-ways and a more intimate cul-de-sac like setting. But, with rural-people in mind, many homes have private driveways and extra generously sized yards. As well as meaning the Village doesn’t seem like homes are all the same, each yard is unique too. Streets are beautifully landscaped with attractive colourful plantings. Paths meander through the village and pocket-parks abound. This extra “visual amenity” gives the homes more individuality and the streets more character, meaning the village feels more special and upmarket.

Unique, Energy-efficient Villas.
Amberley’s architect-designed villas are based on well-proven and very popular plans. Our homes are extra comfortable, economical and easy to live in for years to come, especially if you need support. Special features include level thresholds, wet area bathrooms and wheel chair access. They’ve also been built with energy efficiency and environmental sustainability in mind and feature ducted central heating, deeper walls with thicker insulation, super thick ceiling insulation, thermally-broken, argon-filled, double glazed windows and even foundations that feature industry-leading base and edge insulation, so your home is warm and comfortable year-round with power bills that are extra low.
Exteriors are attractive plaster over lightweight concrete and weatherboard and, along with your gardens and lawns, are maintained by the village so residents are free to enjoy their interests.

The quality and fitout of these villas is of an exceptionally high standard. Far from being all the same, they come in variety of layouts and exterior treatments. With options to suit any lifestyle, Villas are all single level, 2 or 3-Bedroom homes from 94m2 to 182m2. Each has its own patio, garden area and a (EV compatible) garage. Unlike most villages we offer a many villas with double garages. Residents can even choose from a range of interior designs

With extra warm homes, villas that are larger than is typical, low weekly fees and a layout that features beautiful streetscapes with unique and distinctive yards Amberley Country Estate looks to be a very special place to live.
