Opportunities of this scale are exceptionally hard to find. Combining approximately five acres of land, two unique dwellings, resource consent for a third dwelling, manicured gardens and an established flower-growing business, this remarkable Horotane Valley offering presents an exceptional lifestyle opportunity, all just minutes from Christchurch's CBD.
Held by only two families since 1906, this special property spans a combined 20,199sqm on Urban Rural Fringe Zone land across 32 and 36 Horotane Valley Road, offering a rare chance to secure a significant landholding in a location where rural living meets city convenience.
Privately positioned with a peaceful outlook, stunning surrounding hills and established flower fields as your backdrop, the main residence is a beautifully constructed four-bedroom home completed in 2018. Designed for modern family living, the home features a spacious master suite with ensuite, a well-appointed family bathroom with separate bath and shower, and a modern kitchen complete with ample storage and a butler's pantry. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area provides a welcoming hub for everyday living, complemented by a separate lounge for added space and flexibility. Double glazing, a wetback wood burner, north-facing positioning and triple-car internal-access garaging further enhance the appeal.
Adding another layer of versatility is the separate character cottage, built in 2009 and fully consented, with the added benefit of a Healthy Homes Certificate. Featuring a charming French-country kitchen with ample storage, its own bathroom and a spacious combined living and bedroom area, the cottage provides an ideal option for extended family, guests or independent living.
For those with an interest in horticulture, this presents an exciting opportunity to take over an established operation with existing infrastructure and a history of supplying customers locally and nationwide. Whether you choose to run the business yourself, have someone else manage the operation or explore the many other possibilities this substantial landholding offers, the choice is yours.
Further enhancing the offering is an existing resource consent to build a new home on 32 Horotane Valley Road, providing an exciting opportunity for the next owners to create an additional dwelling on the property. This adds further flexibility and potential to an already exceptional landholding.
