Privately positioned set high above the surrounding countryside, this exceptional 5-hectare lifestyle property offers a rare combination of luxury, privacy and breathtaking natural beauty. Built in 2017 and thoughtfully designed to embrace its elevated position, the home enjoys uninterrupted panoramic views across the Canterbury Plains to the Port Hills, the foothills and the snow-capped Southern Alps. Every aspect of this property has been created to make the most of its remarkable setting. The expansive outdoor entertaining area wraps around the home, becoming an extension of the living spaces and offering the perfect place to gather with family and friends. Complete with an outdoor fireplace, spa pool, and an indulgent outdoor bath, this is a place where long summer evenings, crisp winter nights and star-filled skies become part of everyday life, all in complete privacy. Inside, the four-bedroom, two-bathroom home has been designed with modern family living in mind. The beautifully appointed kitchen is the true heart of the home, featuring engineered stone benchtops, a generous walk-in pantry and exceptional storage, ensuring both style and practicality. Overlooking the dining and living spaces, it is perfectly positioned for entertaining while remaining connected to the spectacular landscape beyond. Two generous living areas and multiple outdoor access points provide flexibility for families of all ages, allowing everyone to enjoy their own space while maintaining an effortless connection between indoors and out. A feature log fire creates a warm and inviting atmosphere through the cooler months, complemented by heat pumps for year-round comfort. The private master suite is a true retreat, complete with direct outdoor access, a spacious walk-in wardrobe and a beautifully finished ensuite. Wake each morning to peaceful surroundings and step straight outside to enjoy your coffee while taking in the ever-changing views. A separate family wing provides excellent accommodation with spacious bedrooms featuring built-in wardrobe organisers, a separate toilet and a beautifully tiled family bathroom. Here, a luxurious bath is perfectly positioned to soak away the day while gazing across the mountains and plains as they transform with the changing light. Storage has been carefully considered throughout the home, including a purpose-built attic storage area with a pull-down ladder, offering an abundance of space for seasonal items, hobbies or all those extras that every family accumulates. Outside, the lifestyle opportunities continue. A substantial four-plus car high stud shed provides exceptional storage for vehicles, boats, trailers or workshop space, while raised vegetable gardens, garden shed, potting bench and an additional outdoor entertaining area create even more places to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The land itself is something truly special. Two well-fenced paddocks provide immediate grazing, while the balance of the 5-hectare property is far more than simply a stand of trees. Beautifully established and thoughtfully maintained, it features winding tracks ideal for exploring by four-wheeler, Can-Am, horseback or on foot. Open grassy clearings, a picturesque duck pond and peaceful walking areas create an environment that encourages adventure, relaxation and connection with nature. There is also scope to further develop additional paddocks should your lifestyle require and the entire property is fully boundary fenced. Offering an enviable sense of seclusion while being within 10 minutes from Rangiora, this is a property that delivers the best of both worlds, luxury living, incredible outdoor spaces and a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find. This is more than a home. It's a private sanctuary where every day feels like an escape, and every view reminds you why you chose to live in the country.
