Ebenezer Storry Hay

An "immaculate" Banks Peninsula farm is up for sale after 174 years with one Canterbury family.

Pioneer Scottish settler Ebenezer Hay settled on Glenralloch farm, overlooking Pigeon Bay, in 1843 with 10 head of cattle.

The 500-hectare sheep and finishing farm features a 712-square metre, six-bedroom mansion.

The original homestead was hit by a landslide in 1886, and Glenralloch Manor was built in 1912.

The recently renovated manor includes six bedrooms, three bathrooms, a kitchen with butler's pantry, a large entrance foyer, and multiple rooms for entertaining.

The farm is in two blocks – Glenralloch consisting of 274ha, and the neighbouring Manuka Bay block consisting of 226ha.
