Properties like this simply don't come along often - and when they do, they don't last.
Set amongst beautifully established grounds in the heart of Cust Village, this exceptional lifestyle property on approximately 3,300sqm across two titles offers a rare combination of serenity, practicality, and genuine community connection that is becoming increasingly hard to find in Waimakariri.
From the moment you arrive, the setting captivates. Mature trees, tiered gardens, and sweeping rural and mountain views create a private sanctuary where birdsong greets each morning and the pace of life slows to something truly special. Whether you're raising a family, planning a peaceful retirement, or seeking a versatile base with room to run a business from home - this property delivers on every count.
The thoughtfully designed four-bedroom home maximises sun and outlook through large windows that frame the stunning countryside beyond. At its heart, an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area centres around a log fire with wetback, complemented by a hallway heat pump for year-round comfort. Double-glazed throughout, the home is warm in winter, bright all year, and wonderfully efficient - supported by a updated 8kW solar electricity system.
A practical layout includes a family bathroom, separate shower room, separate toilet, and laundry, while internal access to the double garage adds everyday convenience. Outdoors, the grounds are a genuine delight - veggie plots, a glasshouse, fruit trees, and prolific spring bulbs (think dozens of peonies and hundreds of bulbs) offer the perfect canvas for those drawn to a more self-sufficient lifestyle.
The detached studio - insulated, double-glazed, and completely renovated - is a brilliant bonus, ideal as a home office, hobby room, or creative retreat. With dual access, extensive off-street parking, and a 10,000-litre water tank, the property is as practical as it is beautiful. The second title and the land size also presents potential for the astute buyer, certainly worth exploring with your own due diligence.
And then there's the village itself. Cust School is a short walk away, the school bus to Rangiora stops right outside, and the village store, Japanese café, and the newly re-opened Cust Pub are all within easy reach. Get involved in the community - lawn bowls, tennis, the volunteer fire brigade, or simply grab a key to the community swimming pool for summer. It's that kind of place.
Rangiora is approximately 15 minutes away, with Christchurch around 35 minutes - close enough to everything, far enough from the hustle and bustle of city living.
The current owners reluctantly part with what was their dream - a considered vision for semi-self-sufficient, versatile lifestyle living. Now it's your turn to make it your own.
Call today. Opportunities this special rarely wait!
