Tucked away in a botanic wonderland in the shelter of impressive 100-year-old oaks, this beautifully re-crafted character home delivers the space, comfort and quality today's families are looking for - without losing an ounce of it's story-book charm.
Lovingly transformed by it's tradesman owners over the past 18 years, this has been a true passion project. With every improvement made bringing the home up to, if not surpassing the one of a kind setting - and now, as the next chapter begins, this truly special property is offered for definite sale.
Privately positioned and well protected from the elements, the setting feels almost completely removed from the world - yet incredibly liveable. It's playful but practical, established but refreshingly low-maintenance. Gardens and mature trees blend effortlessly with fencing and grazing paddocks, while at the heart of it all, the original cottage has evolved into a generous, homestead-style family home that fits it's surroundings perfectly.
Inside, the expansive 270m2 floor plan blends original character with modern additions that feel completely at home. The kitchen is the natural hub - classically finished and centrally located - opening into a light-filled open-plan dining and living zone. From here, large doors connect you to a collection of sheltered, north-facing patios, decks and verandahs - perfect for entertaining, relaxing or simply following the sun.
A separate formal lounge (currently enjoyed as a games room) gives you that all-important second living space - ideal for movie nights, teenagers, or quiet time when you need it. There are four bedrooms plus an office, offering excellent flexibility for families, guests or working from home. The master suite is a standout, complete with it's own sitting area, walk-in wardrobe, ensuite, feature stained-glass windows and a charming decorative fireplace. The recently completed family bathroom and separate toilet are stylish, well laid out and finished to a high standard.
Year-round comfort has been thoughtfully built in. A large log burner with wetback powers radiator heating throughout, around 80% of the windows are double-glazed, and the home has been largely re-insulated during it's extensive renovation. Storage is plentiful with walk-in options, plus a separate laundry and practical mudroom to keep everyday life easy.
Step outside and the magic continues. Sweeping lawns are framed by established woodlots, creating a setting that feels straight out of a fairy tale. The balance of the 10 acres is divided into seven paddocks and includes an old woolshed, three-bay shed, stables (now used as a woodshed/bike shed and garden shed), a separate single garage and additional outbuildings - ideal for lifestyle living, hobbies and projects.
Just minutes from Loburn School and pre-school (approximately 1.5km) and an easy drive to Rangiora (approximately 8km), this is country living without compromise.
All the hard work has been done. All that's left is for you to arrive...and start your own happily ever after.
