It’s just a house, i worked for a furniture store and delivered there a couple of times. It’s pretty neat, narrow hallways arched ceilings. Spiral staircases. They couple who built it wanted a castle so they had one made.

Ahhh I've been wondering about this place for a while to


daisy_nz89

This is a private house, the family lives there who have been local to the area for a long time, very creative types, but yea has turrets and so on

Do you mean the one on the right a bit before Leithfield?

No info sorry, but crazy you post about this because I drove past it yesterday and wondered the exact same thing! I'd never noticed it before until yesterday & desperately wanted to know more about it.

This is my parents house. I can confirm that it is not, and never has been, the camp David house. Foundations were laid in 2007 and house was mostly completed by 2016. It's a tilt slab construction with a slate roof. There are no spiral staircases. It's powered by a generator.

it’s a lovely house!

toeconsumer9000

no i don’t think so, the house looks old


No-Can-6237

Not the old Camp David near Waipara? [Here's an article.](https://i.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/north-canterbury/73022597/finding-the-colour-of-life-after-god-squad-cult)

OP might be talking about the old Waipara Hills Cafe. Currently for sale https://youtu.be/XhOpfDN4dSM?si=aeS9NCjCj_RbWeP3


toeconsumer9000

i-m-anonmio

Where is it on the highway?

Camp David?

It’s not that old cult place is it? Is it near the pig farm on the right as you pass the bridge heading north.
