Nestled on an elevated site in Little River, the gateway to Banks Peninsula, this cherished 1960s mid-century three-bedroom family home enjoys a picturesque rural backdrop, beautifully manicured established grounds, and great views.

The open-plan living area offers zones for dining and relaxation, whether gathered around the warmth of the log burner, soaking up the sunshine in the conservatory with a good book, or simply admiring the beautiful gardens. The ever-changing backdrop of abundant birdlife, including tui, adds to the peaceful atmosphere as they dart amongst the foliage.

The kitchen is neatly positioned with fresh coloured cabinetry, great bench space and storage. There are two decking areas on either side of the house to make most of the sunshine at either brunch or dinner.

The bathroom has a shower over the bath, vanity, and toilet with a separate laundry.

There is a roomy single garage with power and off-street parking. The house and garage have been re-roofed for sound peace of mind for years to come.

Very fertile soils support an impressive array of fruit trees, including apple, plum, orange, lemon, mandarin, nectarine, peach, and feijoa, along with blackcurrants and rhubarb.

A primary school and preschool are within easy and safe walking distance, while a monthly GP clinic is available at Birdlings Flat, approximately seven minutes away. High school students are well catered for with bus services to Lincoln and Rolleston, as well as Akaroa Area School over the hill.

Great cycling and walking tracks surround the area along with many other outdoor recreational activities.

The ease of living on offer here is so appealing. This delightful property ticks all the boxes for those seeking a peaceful lifestyle in a quiet rural community, away from the hustle and bustle, yet conveniently located just 53km from Christchurch CBD.
