40 years of hard work and meticulous planning has forged this beautiful, established sanctuary from the blank canvas of open paddock it once was. Everything is where it needs to be, every bit of privacy is secured. Every part of this passion project has been completed to an exceedingly high standard.
The homestead is clad in 75mm Hebel (AAC) panels, (not polystyrene), giving superior thermal efficiency and long-term peace of mind. The main part of the home contains 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a separate formal lounge and dining area, and an open plan kitchen/dining/living area. Each of these living areas has a fireplace and there are 2 heat-pump/air conditioning units, one in the living area and a multi-directional unit in the hallway to heat/cool the bedrooms. All windows are double glazed.
Within this clever home design, and not include in the initial room-count, there is a fully self-contained internal flat, perfect for a semi-independent family member, elderly parents, or young family members buying into the property. It has been used for Airbnb accommodation in the past.
Summertime is nearly here, it's going to be a hot one, so there's nothing better than having your own proper in-ground heated swimming pool. Fully fenced and complete with all the facilities, this a Christmas present for all the family. As well there is an excellent amount of hardwood decking around the homestead for endless outdoor entertaining. An extra bonus is a full size asphalt tennis court with basketball hoop.
Just away from the house is a fairly new 3 bay shed with concrete floors, power, and lights. Two of these bays are fully lockable with electric remote roller doors, perfect for toy storage.
Land area wise, this is a larger than average lifestyle block at 11.7ha (approx. 30 acres) all laid down in quality dairy pasture. It has been properly utilised in the past as a small deer farm and as such is fully deer fenced with stock-water to every paddock, and a fully functional deer handling shed as well as a 4-bay shed in the farm area. The bonus here is that you don't have to do anything with any of this if you don't want to. The land area is presently leased out to a neighbouring farmer. You can have income without any of the time-consuming stuff if you so choose.
Locally there is a well-regarded country school and from the gate is the bus to Rangiora High School.
Your new sanctuary is situated 15 minutes from Rangiora Township and 40 minutes to Christchurch International Airport, as well as all the lakes, rivers, and ski fields that are part of North Canterbury.
