Set 400m from the road, this charming three-bedroom, two-bathroom home sits on 1.1 hectares (approximately) of land, surrounded by established gardens and shelter belts. Offering unparalleled peace and tranquillity, it provides a true connection to nature.

Step inside to discover a thoughtfully designed interior, featuring underfloor heating in both bathrooms, a heat pump, log burner, panel heater and heat transfer system for year-round comfort. Double-glazed windows ensure the home stays warm and inviting, no matter the season. A separate study provides a quiet retreat, perfect for working from home or enjoying a moment of peaceful reflection.

Outside, the north-facing deck is ideal for entertaining friends, soaking up the sun, and offers a raised vantage point to take in views of your property. Privacy and shelter are ensured by mature trees along all three boundaries.

Ideal for animal lovers and gardeners, the property includes two 8m tunnel houses and a small orchard with a variety of fruit trees -cherries, nectarines, plums, apples, and blackboy peaches. Four fenced paddocks with shelters are perfect for horses or other livestock, and the property also features a stable and tack room for equestrian enthusiasts. Two two-bay open-front barns provide generous storage space or extra vehicle accommodation.

The property's appeal is further enhanced by a versatile studio, currently used as a TV/rumpus room. This cozy space offers a perfect escape for teens or guests, but it could easily be transformed into an art studio or serve as a space for a cottage industry.

This exceptional property strikes the perfect balance between peaceful rural living and modern comfort, all while being just a short drive from Rangiora, Kaiapoi and Christchurch City. It offers a secluded sanctuary for those seeking a low-maintenance, semi-self-sufficient lifestyle, with the added benefit of urban conveniences nearby.
