Discover rural elegance and heritage character at this enchanting lifestyle property, surrounded by stunning established gardens just moments from Leeston.

Known fondly as 'Shanzie', the property welcomes you through a rustic entrance gate, flanked by magnificent mature trees that frame the approach to this classic bungalow.

Step inside to find rich timber features throughout, creating timeless character enhanced by vibrant decorative touches. The home offers a distinctive country-style kitchen complete with its own solid fuel cooker (Smith & Wellstood) featuring wetback and pantry. The kitchen opens to dual lounge spaces, with French doors connecting the main living area to the established grounds—believed to bear the signature design of Alfred Buxton, one of New Zealand's most celebrated landscape architects of the late 1800s and early 1900s.

A traditional wood-fired Yunka range adds both warmth and authenticity throughout the home.
Accommodation includes four generous double bedrooms and an updated family bathroom. Modern comfort is assured with an HRV system, upgraded underfloor and ceiling insulation, new blinds, and recent servicing to the Oasis septic system. Electrical rewiring has also been updated.

The 4-hectare (approx) section features exceptional infrastructure, including a two and three-bay lockable shed on concrete pads with power supply. An additional double garage beside the home is equipped with 6 solar panels on its roof. Purpose-built outbuildings such as a garden shed, woodshed, hen house, glasshouse, and milking bay complete the rural lifestyle offering.
Productive fruit trees dot the landscape, including apples, pears, plums, and quinces, while raspberry and blackcurrant bushes provide seasonal harvests.

Situated just 2km from Leeston's shops and services with school bus access nearby, this property delivers the perfect balance of countryside peace and township convenience.

A must-view for anyone seeking the best of both worlds.
