Settled high above Cust with sweeping views that trace the Canterbury Plains to the Port Hills, Pine Hill House balances its 19th-century origins with the ease of modern upgrades.

Recognised by Heritage New Zealand as a Category 2 historic place, this two-storey homestead remains closely linked to the region’s early rural beginnings, its weatherboard form and gabled roofline preserving more than a century of life on the land. Beyond its storied exterior, a refined refurbishment blends contemporary comfort with colonial character.

The new designer country kitchen has classic style cabinets, Spanish tiling and bench tops and a wood floor, while the adjoining dining room captures the ever-changing landscape, and two living rooms ensure relaxation and retreat are always within reach. A ground-floor bedroom and dual-access bathroom enhance practicality, while two double bedrooms upstairs enjoy the view and a dedicated family bathroom.

Warmth is thoughtfully layered through a wood burner and two heat pumps, with timber joinery preserving the home’s character. A double garage with a sheltered walkway provides practical entry to the home, where the roofing was largely refreshed in 2014.

The outlook is far-reaching and stretches to Christchurch, where the city lights and hillside homes animate the view after dark. Set across 4.47 hectares, the property unfolds across established gardens and productive land, with citrus and apple trees, raised vegetable beds, and a small orchard bringing seasonal reward.

Two paddocks open the way for light stock or recreation, backed by a large storage building and multiple sheds.

Just minutes from the community heart of Cust and within easy reach of Rangiora, Pine Hill House offers a remarkable intersection of history, landscape, comfort, and timeless rural beauty.
