This is the kind of property that makes you pause and think, “yes, this could be ours.” With three bedrooms, a modernised bathroom, a garage and plenty of off-street parking, it’s a home that works beautifully for first-time buyers, families ready for more space, or anyone looking for a smart foothold in a community that’s only getting stronger.

The lounge welcomes you straight away. Sunlight streams through the windows, making it the perfect place to unwind after work or curl up with the kids for a movie night. From here, you’ll naturally drift into the dining nook and kitchen. It’s a functional setup that still feels stylish, with crisp cabinetry, tiled detailing and room to cook while chatting with whoever’s at the table.

Each bedroom has its own personality. The main bedroom is roomy and restful, with built-in storage to keep life simple. Another bedroom offers flexibility for a nursery or home office, while the third is perfect for kids, with space for bunks or a desk. The bathroom is fresh and bright, with tiled walls and a glass shower, while the separate toilet makes mornings that little bit easier.

Step outside and you’ll find a secure section that’s easy to enjoy. The front deck is perfect for morning coffee, and the backyard has room for trampolines, pets or a veggie garden. There’s even space to park a camper or trailer alongside, so weekend getaways are always on the cards.

What makes this even more appealing is the location. Rakaia is steadily on the rise, offering affordability without compromise. You’re within commuting reach of Christchurch, just a short drive to Ashburton’s main township for everyday conveniences, and moments from the river and coast for weekend adventures.

Homes like this get snapped up quickly. Call Debbie Simmons today and make sure you’re the one holding the keys.
