A rare lifestyle alternative

• Everything you love about country living - without the upkeep. Total land area 1.378ha (approx.) comprising: • 1643sqm (Area A/House) • 1.61ha (approx. - Area B/Block – being an apportioned 1/6th share of 9.7ha) The dream of country living doesn't have to come with hectares of mowing, endless maintenance or the price tag of a full lifestyle property. Elevated above rolling countryside with sweeping rural views and the bonus of a defined 1/6th share of the adjacent 9.7ha block, this is the kind of opportunity buyers wait for - but rarely find. Beautifully updated and designed for comfortable everyday living, the home offers four bedrooms and two bathrooms, making it equally suited to growing families, retirees wanting room for guests, or those working from home. Recent upgrades include thermally broken double glazing throughout, a new app-controlled heat pump, and quality carpets replaced just three years ago, ensuring year-round comfort and energy efficiency. The modern kitchen sits at the heart of the home, complete with an induction cooktop and effortless connection to the living spaces. A log burner creates warmth and atmosphere through the cooler months, while a separate laundry and double internal access garage add the practicality every busy household appreciates. Outside is where this property truly comes into its own. A sunken outdoor entertaining area with brazier provides the perfect place to gather with friends, fire up a drink at sunset, or simply relax and soak up the peaceful rural outlook. A valuable one-sixth defined share in the neighbouring 9.7ha block further enhances the appeal of this property, providing the perfect balance between residential and lifestyle living. Graze a few animals, keep chickens, establish an orchard or simply enjoy the luxury of additional open space - it's a feature that sets this property apart from almost anything else on the market. Positioned just moments from the iconic Hurunui Hotel and surrounded by rolling North Canterbury countryside, this is a lifestyle opportunity that's becoming increasingly difficult to secure. With only one buyer able to call it home, don't miss your chance - contact me today to register your interest.
