Aussie entrepreneur Karl Jameson’s traded part of his Chantecler property, including this house, for a Christchurch shopping mallA Christchurch shopping mall has been swapped for a lavish Queenstown homestead and garden. Australian entrepreneur Karl Jameson traded a 3.7ha part of his Chantecler property, off Queenstown’s Lower Shotover Rd, with Christchurch developer Lilly Cooper’s shopping mall, The Colombo. In 2023, Mr Jameson bought the entire 12ha Chantecler property off Maureen and Mike Henry for a reported New Zealand record $45.5million, in an off-market deal negotiated by Queenstown real estate agent Hamish Walker. It is this part of the property Mr Jameson has swapped with Ms Cooper. Mr Henry said Mr Jameson on this visit also paid over the final settlement, having part-settled in 2024.
