Price by negotiation
This impressive 12.8-hectare lifestyle property combines modern family living with genuine income potential, just five minutes from Kirwee, 10 minutes from Darfield, and around 30 minutes from Christchurch. At its heart is an established, highly regarded hazelnut processing business, offering significant income opportunities for the new owners along with the freedom to work your own hours, work from home, and escape the traditional 9-to-5 routine.
A long tree-lined driveway leads to the substantial family home. Designed to capture all day sun, the home is filled with natural light through extensive glazing. The spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living area flows seamlessly outdoors, while a separate office with a built in window seat adds extra flexibility.
The formal lounge, featuring a striking cathedral ceiling and bay window, enjoys sweeping garden views and verandah access through double doors. Accommodation includes four double bedrooms, with the main suite offering a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite, and private conservatory retreat. A well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.
A semi-detached triple-car garage connects to the home via a covered walkway and incorporates a studio, laundry, bathroom facilities, and stairs to a large mezzanine floor ideal for a variety of uses.
The established gardens and grounds are a highlight, with wide verandahs, a paved courtyard, sheltered lawns, mature specimen trees, a meandering water race, and a fenced inground swimming pool for summer enjoyment.
The land is highly productive, supported by an irrigation consent and bore. Twelve blocks of fully irrigated hazelnut trees are harvested and processed onsite. Two large sheds with three-phase power provide ample space for nut processing, equipment storage, and vehicle parking.
This unique property offers not only an enviable rural lifestyle with an established revenue earning orchard but also the option to purchase and run the thriving hazelnut processing business. Lease back options are available if the business is not for you providing a passive income stream.  With everything already established, it's a rare chance to seamlessly combine country living, working your own hours, and escaping the 9-to-5 with a rewarding income stream.
