Deadline Sale 1pm Tue 24 Feb 2026 (unless sold prior)
Defined by its park-like landscape and lifestyle-living qualities, this 9,555sqm property captures the lighter side of the countryside, where shelter and serenity remain closely connected to everyday convenience of West Melton township.
Enchanting on approach, the tree-lined driveway sets a timeless tone, as the depth of established grounds and mature trees provides pure privacy before the home reveals itself.
Carefully updated since its completion in the mid-1980s, the home's permanent materials and striking schist detailing give way to a clean-lined interior where timber-lined ceilings, stone finishes, and contemporary refinements reflect the best of both its era and today.
Presenting skylights and classic country detailing, the galley-style kitchen leads the open-plan living and dining domain, carrying the layout through to the terrace for easy entertaining and everyday downtime.
An adjoining formal lounge with outdoor connection introduces a quieter dimension to daily life, while a ground-floor office adds another layer of flexibility to the floor plan.
Upstairs, four bedrooms are supported by two bathrooms, including a master with a walk-in wardrobe and a shared en-suite, while the second, oversized bedroom with its own private staircase currently serves as an upstairs lounge, allowing the layout to adapt as family needs evolve.
Downstairs there is a combined third bathroom and laundry, while the home's comprehensive heating suite, including a gas and log fire, underfloor heating and double glazing, keeps comfort constant year-round.
Outdoor living is a defining strength, with a festoon-lit entertaining pavilion claiming centre stage, showcasing a fireplace, pizza oven, outdoor kitchen and every entertaining essential, while a fenced heated saltwater pool enclosed in decking is set aside for long summer days within the picturesque and very sheltered grounds.
Other practical features include internal-access double garaging, a detached lined garage incorporating a workshop and gym space, a powered three-bay shed, fruit trees, and two paddocks, offering genuine scale for storage, hands-on projects, and hobby farming.
Packed with personality and positioned city-side of West Melton, Christchurch airport and the city are an easy drive away. Please contact us for further information.
