430 Birch Hill Road, Okuku, Waimakariri, Canterbury

This 17.5ha property set in the peaceful and popular Okuku area, is a rarity due to its land size.

The expansive homestead, set well back from the sealed road, has a lovely setting and boasts tiled flooring throughout the kitchen and entertaining areas, with new carpet throughout the rest of the home.

The spacious, modern kitchen and large, open-plan family areas flow straight out through bifold doors to an ample, wrap-around deck and verandah which are set for all-day sun, shade and shelter. A log burner with a wet back for the cooler months heats the four double bedrooms, including the master which has a walk-in robe and en suite.

At the front, the double garage has internal access and there is a large asphalt area which provides ample parking and skate boarding space. Around the remaining aspects, there is a tidy garden with a variety of mature trees, a large mixed orchard, and a wide but sheltered rural outlook.

Beyond the tidy hedge, the yards include plenty of sheds, a good set of cattle yards, and a well-appointed studio/work space which gives room aplenty for all manner of activities. Out the back there is wide scope for grazing and adventures.
