Ten minutes from town, two acres (approx) of flat, usable land, and mountain views that'll have you reaching for your camera every morning - this is one of those properties that ticks boxes you didn't even know you had. The owners built this home post-quake, so you've got that peace of mind from the start. It's a beautifully presented modern build with warm timber accents and a layout that just works. The master bedroom has its own ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, giving you that private retreat at the end of the day. There are two more good-sized bedrooms, plus an office nook that's perfect if you're working from home, and a dedicated craft room because hobbies need their own space too. The kitchen is where you'll want to spend time - light-filled, stylish, with gorgeous timber cabinetry and a butler's pantry that means you're never short on bench space or storage. It flows seamlessly into the open-plan living and dining area, where a log burner with wetback and heat pump keep things comfortable year-round. The whole space opens onto a timber deck that connects the home, and those mountain views become your backdrop for morning coffee or evening wine. The established gardens out front are absolutely picture-perfect - low maintenance but beautifully planted with colour and texture. Now, the land. Four paddocks mean you can run a few sheep, maybe some chickens, or just keep them tidy and simple. There's an established orchard with fruit trees - varieties that actually fruit here - so summer means fresh picking rather than supermarket punnets. The glasshouse extends your growing season, and between the garden shed and large utility shed, you've got space for tools, toys, and whatever projects you've got on the go. The internal access garage is one of those features you don't appreciate until you've got it - bringing in groceries in the rain without getting soaked is underrated. The home sits perfectly on the school bus route for families, and there's superb storage throughout. The owners are motivated and ready for their next chapter, and in a market this hotly contested, homes that are genuinely turn-key don't wait around. This is live-and-enjoy from day one.
