A village with many differences

Amberley Country Estate is a unique retirement village located at the gateway to the Hurunui District. When completed, it will have 250 homes with views of the surrounding hills.

With well-spread-out villas, Amberley Country Estate looks more like a residential subdivision than a typical retirement village. Instead of lines of homes in a row, Amberley Country Estate’s wide range of villas means each street has a unique layout. Some have shared, cul-de-sac-like settings, but with rural people in mind, many homes have private driveways and extra-large yards. This means homes don’t all look the same, and yards are distinctive too. Streets are beautifully landscaped with colourful plantings. Paths with reserves meander throughout the village.

The 330m2 Clubhouse is completed and features a pool table, bar, library, gym, and spa pool. A Resident’s Centre, four times that size, will be the heart of the village, with a café, bar, pool tables, dance floor, library, gymnasium, indoor pool, spa pool, movie room, ‘Men’s Shed’, outdoor dining, bowling green, pétanque, a regular happy hour, excursions in the village van, and village activities and events allowing residents to be as social as they please. For residents’ peace of mind, the village will have a modern hospital and medical centre with comprehensive care facilities, including memory care. amberleycountryestate.co.nz

Amberley’s architect-designed villas have been built with energy efficiency and environmental sustainability in mind and feature ducted central heating, deeper walls with thicker insulation, thermally broken, argon-filled, double-glazed windows, and even industry-leading insulated foundations, so the home is cool/warm and comfortable year-round, with power bills that are extra low.

Their quality and fit-out are of an exceptionally high standard. Villas are all singlelevel, two or three Bedroom homes from 94m2 to 182m2. Each has its own patio, garden area (lawns and gardens are maintained by village staff) and garage. Unlike most villages, there are many villas on offer with double garages.

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