'Waihora Homestead' - In a World of its Own

For Sale

Just over 30km from the centre of Christchurch, a truly wonderful 33ha lifestyle property in two Tiles is situated at the head of McQueens Valley. The homestead is nestled into immaculately kept established gardens, featuring rose gardens, a grove of rhododendrons, perennial garden, bulbs, and beautiful mature trees. The elevated setting offers wonderful views down the valley and over Lake Ellesmere.

Built around the 1880's, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom home has been completely renovated and redecorated to a very high standard, including a feature log burner in the open-plan living/lounge area, which heats the whole house via radiators in all rooms. The modern kitchen and dining room is separate and opens through to the spacious lounge and formal dining area by double doors, then through to the library and snug (third bedroom). The lounge, library, hallway and master bedroom all access verandahs via French doors. Bedrooms, library and hallway are carpeted, the remainder of the house has beautifully polished wooden floorboards.

A self-contained cottage is adjacent and there are good sheds. The 33ha includes over 18ha of well-maintained forestry - all planted prior to 2000. The balance is fenced into eight clean grazing paddocks, currently grazing beef cattle and horses.

An adjacent 3.4ha Title on the flats which includes a dressage arena, is available separately.

Close to Christchurch and the Peninsula Bays - yet a world away!
