A picture is worth a thousand words. This unique property sits 350 metres above sea level, with a bird's eye view of the ever-changing weather patterns that dominate the breathtaking Canterbury Plains and the majestic Port Hills. To the back of the property are the rolling downs of a historic sheep and beef station and Lees Valley beyond. Ashley Gorge, Ryde Falls, and the Wharfedale Track are 7km and 11km away respectively, giving further scope to enjoy this beautiful and unique rural region. This home was designed in 2021 by a local architect and offers a blend of style and functionality, with a view to future-proofing. There is a large ensuite in addition to a generous family bathroom. The heart of the home has a separate utility room/laundry adjacent to the kitchen, and a versatile study/home office is nestled between the lounge and family room. The home is heated by a well-situated wood burner and a very efficient underfloor heating system, air conditioning ensures year-round comfort. A bonus to this property is the four-bay enclosed workshop/implement shed which can easily be converted for stock or storage as needed.

An exciting opportunity has become available to develop this 37.4 ha property subject to survey and title. A scheme plan application is about to go to the Council for a ten lot subdivision on the terrace overlooking Cust. Our vendors are selling lots 2 - 10 only. Once approved and titled it will allow five to eight years to complete the development, or you could take advantage of the unprecedented demand for lifestyle properties at the moment and sell the blocks prior to title. The soil is described as Claremont or Mairaki moderately deep silt loam which can be very good for grass growth and tree establishment. Just 15 km from Rangiora and very close to Cust, it is a popular area for lifestyle blocks. Cust has a well regarded, decile 10 school and preschool, as well as a cafe, restaurant, hotel, numerous shops and a friendly community. For short Deadline Treaty finishing Wednesday 7th April at 4.00pm.

Deadline Sale

This attractive block is close to Oxford and has an Eyre River boundary. The soils are free draining and described as Eyre Shallow Silt with possibly some Templeton Silt Loam, so ideal for horses. The driveway is recently chip sealed with timber railing fences along the driveway. There is a three phase power supply to the south-east corner of the block, close to the ideal building site, and two units of Oxford rural water is supplied to a tank on the property. Much of the topsoil from the driveway formation has been left on this lot, near a gully, which provides options for landscaping, or filling in part of the gully. Trees on the neighbours and across the road provide some protection from the Norwesters. The Oxford area has a variety of popular walks, as well as hunting and fishing and it is within 90km of four ski-fields or the North Canterbury vineyards. If golf is your thing, the outstanding 18 hole Waimakariri Gorge Golf Course is just 10 kilometres away and would have to be one of the best and friendliest country clubs. Just 2 minutes to the vibrant town of Oxford with its supermarket, wine bar, cafes, medical centre and a range of shops and services, and a school bus to Oxford Area School passes the gate. The commute to Rangiora is just 25 minutes on very good sealed roads and the International Airport is approximately 45 minutes away. Title will be issued soon. Contact the agent for a viewing.

Exuding plenty of character and personality, this home was designed by renowned architect Roger Walker (NZ Institute of Architects Gold Medal recipient) and constructed to encompass its natural surroundings. Mountain views and established trees enhance absolute privacy and peacefulness on offer here in Okuku. Originally known as the 'Hamilton House' this home and its land is offered for sale for one of the very few times in its life. The exuberant style that was embraced during the design phase of this four-bedroom + office home is immediately obvious, with unique lines and shapes employed throughout. Large windows and skylights bathe the home in natural light, with versatile dual living areas and a highly-functional kitchen sure to warm the hearts of those who love to entertain. Conversations will be easy to start when curious friends call in! An engrossing album documenting the build stays with the home. Manicured grounds create an idyllic setting and the home boasts multiple patios and decks. Highlights include the pond and native walkway. The land is predominantly Wakanui Shallow Silt Loam soil, there are troughs in each paddock, many paddocks are deer fenced, well sheltered, and there is a four bay shed with power, and stock yards. If lifestyle farming is not for you, a local farmer may well take the opportunity to graze the land. While the decision to part with this truly unique property was an agonising one to reach, our vendors are now committed to the next chapter in their lives, and are determined to sell.
