All Blacks coach Steve Hansen, and his wife Tash, have listed their five-bedroom property in Canterbury, outside of Christchurch. 
The property, at 42 Hamptons Road, won the 2016 New Zealand Master Builder of the Year Gold Award for excellence in workmanship, creativity and innovation for a new home over $2 million.
It has five bedrooms, a media room with sound system, bar area, built-in fridge and dishwasher.
Solar panels operate the individually zoned underfloor heating, while upstairs is a ducted heat-pump ensuring the stunning master suite remains ambient.
There are multiple outdoor living zones, including a pool and spa area, and an alfresco lounge with a kitchen that can be closed off when needed.
There is also a large five-bay shed with one fully enclosed bay for a gym or hobby room.
“We’ve loved everything about our beautiful home over the last four years, however, we’re now preparing for the next phase of our lives after rugby. It’s as simple as that,” the two-time world cup winning coach said.
In 2018, Hansen announced his intention to stand down from the top job after this year’s world cup in Japan.
The property is set for auction November 1.

Rugby union brothers Anthony and Saia Fainga'a have offloaded a Brisbane land parcel.
The near 700 square metre Windsor block on Wilston Hill with views to the city fetched $1.58 million.
The brothers bought the property for $1,031,000 and <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-qld-windsor-111865231" target="_blank">demolished the old two bedroom home</a> (above) to create the level block.
Ray White New Farm agent Meaghan Bakker sold the land which came with architect designed plans for two three level homes. It was sold to a local builder.
It's the second piece of Brisbane real estate the brothers have sold in the last year.
The pair built then sold a five bedroom Seven Hills home for $1.17 million mid-last year, having paid $432,500 for the 415 square metre block in 2014.
Saia, who is playing for UK-based club London Irish, says he want to focus on property full-time when his career ends.
Anthony is turning out for Brumbies in Canberra where the brothers are investing in the development of 19 townhouses.

Having bought a land parcel to build their forever home nearby, Brisbane Bronco Matt Gillett and wife Skye have listed their former home in Albany Creek.
The modern family home, some 17 kilometres north of the Suncorp Stadium, has five bedrooms and two bathrooms on its 915 square metre block.
The couple bought it for $670,000 in 2014, the same price it traded for in 2011.
They're asking for $719,000 through Re/Max Northern Realty agent Karyn Neil.   
They are not moving any closer to Gillett's stomping ground, in fact they're moving further away.
Their 6,000 square metre land parcel that cost them $800,000 sits in the next suburb north in Warner.
Gillett, the hard hitting forward who was described by Broncos legend Gordon Tallis as 'the best forward in the world', turned down lucrative offers last year to stay at Red Hill for the rest of his career.
He made his debut for the Broncos in 2010, scoring a try in a narrow win over the Sydney Roosters. 
He played a key part in the Kangaroo's World Cup triumph late last year.

Cronulla Sharks star James Maloney is selling his former home near Lake Macquarie, as speculation persists on an end of season switch to the Penrith Panthers.
Maloney lived in the home at Pelican for a few years after paying $295,000 in 2007 before he became a professional NRL footballer.
The stand-out five-eighth bought the home when he was 21 and playing for Parramatta Eels reserve grade.
Maloney failed to break into the first team, prompting his move to Melbourne where he kicked off at the Melbourne Storm.
Then, there was his two year stint in New Zealand with the Warriors.
It has been a consistent rental through the year, first renting at $330 a week, and since increasing to $350 a week.
The two bedroom home, set two streets back from the crystal clear Swansea Channel waters, comes with a covered rear deck that looks over the level back yard with a self-contained cabin.
Andrew McGrath at First National Real Estate Blacksmiths is seeking offers between $490,000 and $538,000.
Maloney won the 2016 Premiership in his first season at the Sharks and also owns another house nearby which cost $440,000.
Maloney's Instagram suggests he will be busy in the off-season.
He's taken on a treehouse project at his coastal eastern suburbs abode that he shares with his three children and wife Jessica.
Fellow Cronulla Shark Chris Heighington is also selling an investment property.
Heighington is now considering an offer on his Upper North Shore investment property.
The Waitara apartment cost the Shark veteran $300,000 in 2005 when it was new.
Set in the North Tower of the Eden Apartments, the 76 square metre courtyard apartment has one bedroom and was offered leased at $410 a week.
It had a $504,000 listing price.
Heighington is yet to decide on his NRL future having spent the last four years with The Sharks.
The 34 year old won his first Premiership with the Wests Tigers in 2005.

The fearless NSW Origin debutant Nathan Peats is selling his Sydney investment pad. 
The Gold Coast Titan has decided to list redundant Rosebery investment unit.
Amassing 53 tackles in a memorable performance, Peats, who covered 8.1 kilometres in the mid-week game, the most ground ever recorded in Origin, paid $595,000 in 2012 for the two bedroom, two bathroom apartment.
It was during his two year stint with South Sydney where he started his career.
The apartment near Green Square has been listed by new NG Farah real estate recruit agent Beau Champion, who is a former Rabbitohs team mate.
The pair both played at the Bunnies together for a brief period before Peats moved to the Eels.
Peats initially put the apartment as a $670 a week rental once he signed with the Titans in 2014.
Its 2015 tenancy was sought at around $650 a week for the apartment with an open plan living area that opens to a large tiled private courtyard.
Peats left the Eels for the Gold Coast in 2014 following the much publicised salary cap breach.
His property portfolio's most recent addition was when he paid $518,000 for a three bedroom timber home in Lota (pictured below) outside of Brisbane last year.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2017/04/01/lot-two.jpg" alt="">
It was advertised as having potential for developers due to its 800 square metre parcel.
Peats retains a three bedroom Central Coast home in Wyoming (pictured below) that cost $420,000 in 2015.

Last month the Daily Telegraph reported that Parramatta chief executive Bernie Gurr said he will consider luring Peats back to the club.
His former teammates Beau Champion recently joined the N G Farah sales team having played over 100 first-grade games for South Sydney Rabbitohs.
Even as an accomplished professional footballer, Beau was always passionate about property especially around the south eastern suburbs of Sydney which Beau considered his backyard.

Cleary spent two separate stint with the Warriors. He spent two years as a player from 2000 and then five years as the head coach from 
He led the team to finals footy in four of his six seasons in charge.
