Imagine your morning coffee on the veranda, surrounded by beautiful established gardens, with open paddocks stretching towards Mt Thomas and the magnificent foothills. Set along a quiet country road, this peaceful and private retreat offers the lifestyle you've been dreaming of, with all the hard work already done.

At the heart of the home is a generous, well-appointed kitchen designed for those who love to cook and entertain. With extensive bench space, a walk-in pantry and excellent storage, it's a space that makes everyday living a pleasure. The adjoining dining area opens onto the covered veranda, while the spacious lounge provides a welcoming place to relax, unwind and enjoy the beautiful rural outlook.

Outdoor living is where this property truly comes into its own. A superb, sheltered entertaining area, complete with pull-down PVC blinds, a pizza oven and spa pool, creates the perfect setting for every season. From relaxed summer barbecues and wood-fired pizzas with friends to cosy winter evenings and long Sunday lunches, this is a home, made for creating memories.

Inside, three generous double bedrooms are complemented by two bathrooms, a separate study and dedicated laundry. A wood burner with wetback, HRV system and partial double glazing provide practical comfort throughout the seasons.

Step outside and you'll discover just how thoughtfully this lifestyle property has been established. Well-fenced paddocks, each with its own animal shelters and troughs. A chicken coop, glasshouse and productive vegetable garden bring the satisfaction of growing your own produce and collecting fresh eggs, while established trees and mature gardens create a beautiful, sheltered environment to enjoy throughout the year. It's country living with all the essentials already in place.

For those needing space for vehicles, hobbies or lifestyle equipment, the options are exceptional. An attached double garage is complemented by a separate four-bay high-stud garage, ideal for the boat, workshop, classic cars or weekend projects. A further two-bay open pole shed, woodshed, garden shed and additional outbuildings provide plenty of room for machinery, tools and everything that comes with enjoying country life.

And while the setting feels wonderfully removed from the everyday rush, convenience is never far away. The charming Cust township, complete with its recently renovated country pub, is just five minutes away. West Eyreton School is nearby, the property is also in-zone for Rangiora High School, and Rangiora's shops, cafés and amenities are an easy drive away. Christchurch remains comfortably within reach.

Beautifully established, wonderfully practical and filled with character, this is a lifestyle property where you can simply move in, settle down and enjoy everything country living has to offer.

The gardens are flourishing, the paddocks are ready, the sheds are waiting and the views are something special. All tucked away on a quiet country road, where life moves at a more relaxed pace.
