It was love at first sight when the current owners found this 9582 m2 country haven seventeen years ago. Only 30 minutes from Christchurch city centre and less than 15 minutes to Rangiora, 20 minutes to the airport, 90 minutes to Porters Ski area, and 15 minutes to the beach, this property is almost too good to be true. Now that the kids have moved on the owners are reluctantly saying goodbye to their slice of heaven, making way for a new family to enjoy this delightful property. Set back down a long driveway you'll find an exclusive private setting with the Ohoka Stream its boundary and nestled amongst mature trees to a year-round paradise that will make you pinch yourself every morning as you wake up. Anyone for tennis? Or maybe basketball, soccer, cricket, a game of touch, or even ping pong in the spacious garage? All your family favourites can be played here! You can plunge into the clear waters of Ohoka Stream (look out for eels, 'tho!) before enjoying an al fresco BBQ on the patio. Drinks all 'round!
The single story, brick-clad home offers 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, plus 3 additional lined and insulated rooms converted within the enormous garage to provide work-from-home options and plenty of space for crafts and hobbies. Living spaces include an open plan kitchen living area (with double doors unfolding to the north facing, private estate-like grounds), a sunroom perfectly positioned for lazy afternoon snoozes or board games, and the formal dining room which opens to the large formal lounge, which is also ideal for a Home Cinema set-up.
Even more than the spacious and comfortable living offered by the home, it will be the fabulous private grounds that will capture your heart. There's a designated footpath, so no need to cross any roads, and it's a short walk or bike ride to Ohoka School. Only a five-minute stroll will take you to Ohoka Domain where you can enjoy the playground and flying fox, the regular Friday Farmers' Market, or just bask in the tranquillity of Ohoka Bush. With a firewood lot, fruit trees and veggie gardens galore, this almost self-sufficient life-style property could be your dream home. When you come and see what 'the good life' really looks like you may never want to leave. There's plenty of open homes to choose from each week.
