546 Clayton Road, Fairlie, Mackenzie, Canterbury

Set on approximately 3.0960 hectares (subject to title) of land on the outskirts of Fairlie, this four-bedroom home is a haven for those seeking a rural lifestyle without sacrificing convenience. Built by the current owners in 1966 as the farms’ homestead, this home is all about functionality and practicality. Natural light floods the dining space, which has a discreet built-in desk perfect for crafts or office work, with the space flowing into the kitchen, which is spacious, modern and has plenty of useable bench space. There are two living spaces, with the option to close off an area with a sliding glass door, both coming directly off the concrete patio that wraps around the entire north-facing side of the home, creating a lovely indoor-outdoor flow. This approximately 210sqm home boasts four double bedrooms all with built-in wardrobes, with one bedroom hosting an additional side room with a single bed. The house has a separate toilet next to the bathroom with a shower and bath. There is another toilet in the bathroom with a shower. You will be warm and cosy in the cooler months with heat sources including a heat pump, log fire, open fire and underfloor heating throughout. A double garage with internal access is extremely tidy and has a workshop and a space to hold wood over the winter. The gardens are well established with room to add your own touch, and trees along the roadside boundary provide a sense of privacy. A large vegetable garden has produced many abundant harvests over the years and is ready to be planted for summer. Complimentary to the homestead is a three-bay pole shed with two bays having concrete floors, plus an additional oval shed. An empty pool is currently covered and comes in a “where is” condition. The main paddock will be sown with new grass prior to settlement. Mountain views peak through well established trees. This home is located on the main road leading out from Fairlie to Lake Opuha, the ideal place to spend your summer boating, fishing or soaking up the sunshine.
