Deadline Sale (unless sold prior) 12pm, Mon 10 Nov 2025

Set on 49.5749 hectares (more or less) in the heart of Canterbury, this property is centred around an impressive family home built with space and practicality in mind. Located just 10km from Darfield and less than 40km to Christchurch, it combines lifestyle living with productive land, quality soils, and solid infrastructure.

The north-facing home captures all-day sun and is well suited to family life, with a scale and layout that can comfortably accommodate extended family or guests. It includes five bedrooms, three bathrooms plus a separate toilet, and heating is well covered with underfloor heating, a ducted system with three heat pumps, and a log burner. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area is supported by a scullery, while a separate living room, bar and office add flexibility. Outside, the heated salt-water pool, BBQ area and three shaded spaces provide ample room for entertaining, set amongst established grounds with pop-up lawn sprinklers. The property is a young person’s paradise, featuring an imported water slide, flying fox with fort, hammocks tucked into a secluded hideaway and a large sealed driveway for netball or basketball practice.

This productive land holding has a history of growing a range of arable seed and cereal crops along with sweet corn, cabbage, pumpkin, table potatoes, and peas, as well as lamb finishing and dairy bull grazing. Currently in new grass following oats, it is supported by Central Plains Water irrigation applied via an Ocmis gun. Fertile soils and reliable water give plenty of options.

Well equipped with quality infrastructure, including a large sealed parking area, a five-bay purpose-built lockable workshop, and numerous auxiliary sheds for housing machinery and toys - ensuring every box is ticked. There are three access points to the property, and security is managed by a solar-controlled gate linked to a phone app.

With an immaculate family home, reliable irrigation, and quality soils, this is a versatile holding that balances lifestyle with farming. Opportunities of this quality in Central Canterbury are seldom available – early enquiry is recommended.
