POA

On a picturesque 26ha lifestyle property, this magnificent homestead provides character, charm, craftsmanship, elegance and practicality.

Built in 1863, with only three owners since then, it has been very well maintained, with some additions and refurbishment modernising the home in keeping with its character. It boasts six generous bedrooms, three bathrooms, a choice of dining, sitting and living areas and a large, modern kitchen.

A sheltered veranda catches the all-day sun and enjoys magnificent views overlooking the grounds and the valley below. The park-like grounds include large lawns, mature trees, an Astro Turf tennis court and an inground swimming pool with adjacent patio and outdoor living area, perfect for entertaining.

Good sheds support the farming options available, including sheep, cattle, horses or crops - or just enjoy the home and lease the land. Only 35 minutes from Christchurch CBD, 45 minutes from Akaroa and 15 minutes from Lyttelton Harbour Bays.

Privacy and tranquillity in its own sheltered environment where the birdsong is the only noise, and a superb home which is your place of pride to be shared to entertain family and friends.
