Leeston

Welcome to

With the mountains to the West, the coast to the East and the beautiful, braided rivers in between, Leeston is quite a playground!

It's one of the few truly original local towns - a diverse melting pot of people and lifestyles, from farmers to crafters to urban professionals hang out here.

Located on the flat land of the Canterbury Plains in the South Island, between the shore of Lake Ellesmere and the mouth of the Rakaia River, Leeston is surrounded by rich agricultural land. Dairying, sheep and cropping are the main farming activities with irrigation providing water for plant growth during the hot dry summers.

Mt Hutt ski field is only an hour's drive from Leeston and it has excellent facilities that satisfy the most discerning skiers and snowboarders.

Leeston has that great Kiwiana feel where the kids still play cricket on the road... (well, the quiet roads), horses are still ridden along the grass verge (and occasionally through the subdivisions) and, the learner's pool is still available to the public in the summer.

With quality primary and secondary schools as well as early learning centres, Leeston is a great place to raise your family. The near-new local pub ensures that you're sorted for some great meals or enjoy some Friday night fish 'n chips if you prefer. Alternatively, an easy trip into Christchurch or Ashburton for a night out is 'easy-as'.

Whether you're a first home buyer, investor, or are just in the market for a new home, drop in and have a chat with your local Property Brokers Leeston sales team and let us find the right property for you.
