Nestled in the heart of Waipara Wine Country, Kowai Terrace offers private country living with breathtaking views across 5.27ha of terraced land. Originally built in Merivale in 1930, this home was relocated in 2005 and fully renovated for modern living while preserving its character and charm.

Upgrades include:

• New ColourSteel roof, re-wired and re-plumbed
• Wool insulation into walls and ceilings
• Solar water heating, a woodburner on wetback and electric mains back-up
• Cast iron traditional style radiators throughout run from a second wetback
• Heat pumps on both levels
• Photo voltaic power set-up with solar panels and battery storage, giving you the option to live off-grid or on mains power

The home boasts three living rooms, two with French doors to the garden. A country style kitchen blends Rimu cabinetry with granite benchtops, gas cooking and modern appliances. A downstairs powder room/laundry and a sunroom add to the functionality.

Upstairs there are three spacious bedrooms all with built-in wardrobes and magnificent views (one with a modernised tiled en suite bathroom.) An updated family bathroom enjoys a cast iron bath, separate shower and tiled floor.
Character features include a solid Rimu staircase, leadlight windows, imported fire surrounds from England and built-in furniture, all adding elegance to this outstanding country residence.

Outside you will find a three-bay garage and a pump shed. The property currently enjoys one large paddock but with its' water right, sufficient for a vineyard, you may choose to convert this property to add to the already highly prized Waipara Wine Country region.

Located only minutes from vineyards and wine tasting, pre-school and primary school, supermarket, medical centre and shops and all within an easy commute into Christchurch.

This is your chance to embrace Waipara lifestyle in a home that combines history, charm, and modern convenience.
