25 Long View Lane, Swannanoa, Canterbury Magnificent Country Living

Every now and then a home comes along that raises the standard for contemporary living. This is one of those homes. Set on a sprawling acreage, superbly appointed for horses or other livestock, and down a quiet lane, well away from the road, experience country living as it should be - tranquil, private and utterly captivating. Nestled in this serene landscape is a stunning modern home, built 2018 and boasting a 279sqm floor plan that's cleverly arranged for seamless indoor/outdoor flow and luxuriously appointed from the high-spec kitchen to ducted air-conditioning and solar panels.

The living spaces are exceptional, beginning with a beautiful modern kitchen where sleek cabinetry and granite counters enhance a practical workspace with gas cooktop, island breakfast bar and scullery. The kitchen looks out to an expanse of open-plan casual living and dining, with a logburner set in a feature stone wall for winter warmth and ambience, and large stacking ranch-sliders connecting a huge kwila deck for summertime entertaining. The impressive outdoor living space includes outdoor lighting and a dedicated spa area with glass fencing, and steps down to a terrace fringed with olive trees and boasting a built-in pizza oven to really channel those Mediterranean vibes. Back inside, a separate lounge adjoins the main living space, ensuring superb flexibility for family living. At the far end of the house, the master bedroom is a dreamy retreat with access to the deck, a 5-star tiled en-suite with twin vanity and two walk-in wardrobes! Three more double bedrooms and an office share a family bathroom with separate bath and shower. A vast laundry with built-in counter and cabinetry is a real asset for country living, while a double internal-access garage is another practical feature.

Outside, the 10-acre (4.1420 ha) block has been painstakingly developed with post-and-rail fencing, numerous outbuildings and a well with two pumps (one to the house and the other to a storage tank). Near the house, there's a four-bay shed (one bay with garage door) and there's also a separate barn with enclosed tack room. A wash bay, three yards for horses and numerous paddocks, all irrigated, offer a superb setting for those with a passion for horses, but could be adapted to a range of uses. Zoned for Swannanoa School and Rangiora High, and just a few minutes from a supermarket, local bar and other amenities at Mandeville Village, the City is an easy commute via the Christchurch Northern Corridor.

The hard work has been done here to create the ultimate contemporary country home - now all that remains is to enjoy a setting that will only improve as the extensive landscaping matures. Don't miss the opportunity to secure this magnificent private estate. Contact the agent without delay to find out more.
