Experience the space, privacy and beauty of true country living, all less than 10 minutes drive from Rangiora. Set amid rolling countryside and commanding breathtaking views to the Southern Alps, this exceptional lifestyle property offers a rare balance of peaceful rural living and everyday convenience.
Predominantly plaster over brick with a ventilated cavity system, the thoughtfully designed two storey home offers generous proportions and a layout perfectly suited to modern family life. Elevated to capture the magnificent outlook, expansive decking extends from the living areas, creating seamless indoor/outdoor flow ideal for entertaining, family gatherings or simply unwinding while enjoying the ever-changing rural landscape.
At the heart of the home is the spacious open plan kitchen, dining and living area, designed for connection and everyday living. The well appointed kitchen features granite benchtops, a walk-in pantry and an additional "jam room", perfect for the home preserver, hobbyist or those who appreciate extra storage. An office positioned just off the entrance provides a practical work-from-home space, while a second living room offers valuable flexibility for growing families.
The ground floor master suite includes a walk-in robe and ensuite and is complemented by a second bedroom with walk-in robe, family bathroom and separate toilet. Upstairs, a third lounge provides a relaxed retreat, alongside two further bedrooms and another bathroom - including one bedroom featuring a delightful hidden "secret room" tucked behind the wardrobe. Comfort is assured year round with a log burner and heat pump, while solar assisted hot water adds efficiency. The internal access double garage features an oversized stud, ideal for larger vehicles or additional storage, and the home offers excellent storage throughout.
Outdoors, the property continues to impress with five well fenced paddocks, extensive native plantings, mature trees, an orchard, a dedicated vegetable garden area, stock yard, a shelter shed and a substantial three bay barn with two enclosed bays.
With the children now grown and spreading their wings, the owners are ready to downsize, presenting an outstanding opportunity for the next family to secure and enjoy this special lifestyle property.
