1891 Fairlie Tekapo Road, Burkes Pass, Canterbury

A rare opportunity to have a slice of paradise on the Burkes Pass fringe, with beautiful rural and mountain views, capturing both dark sky and photographic light, like nowhere else.

This unique masterbuilt 2019, fully double glazed, modern 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom property, sits on 1.74 ha (more or less) of land. At one end of the home there is a separate lockable accommodation unit, with a large bedroom and private ensuite, a kitchenette with bench countertop and room for a small fridge underneath, all heated by a heat pump. This would make a great airbnb separate space with its own access.

The rest of the home has a concrete tiled entrance which leads into the dining room, which is open plan with kitchen countertops that are designed full of artistic flair, and a glass photographic image splashback behind the gas hob. Dishdrawer plus built-in stove, microwave and a plumbed ice fridge freezer compliment this space with practicality, for those lush ice cold drinks on hot summer days.

The lounge floor is carpeted centrally with ceramic tiles surrounding the outside, to make any clean up a breeze and no soiling of carpet, so practical when you live in a rural setting such as this.

A reader's nook in the sunshine within the northern aspect of the lounge, with windows all around which could become your own little office space, or just a place to chill out and just enjoy the views of the mountain tops. Double glazed doors, opposite the nook, lead you into the sheer privacy of the complimentary courtyard, which features a waterfall that is reticulated into the pond below for hours of relaxation and tranquility.

During winter there is a very large Tarras brand log burner, set upon beautiful iridescent style ceramic tiles within the open plan lounge, and room for a projector screen or your large screen TV, perhaps for your gaming adventures. Plus plenty of room outside for motorbike rides or bicycle tracks to be created and other forms of entertainment through the forest trees with a natural stream running alongside the rear of the property.

A beautiful property for a permanent home or a relaxing break from travelling when you're on your way from Queenstown to Christchurch, or travelling further along SH 8 then this is a rural stop gap that is enchanting and thoroughly peaceful for a good night's rest. Don't miss out, call today. Viewings by arrangement.
