Discover a truly unique opportunity on sought-after Leader Road East in the Hurunui District, Canterbury - a stunning property (5,860sqm) brimming with character, charm, and lifestyle appeal. Set amidst beautifully established gardens, this exceptional holding features two distinctive homes, offering versatility as a spacious family residence with the added benefit of an income-generating second dwelling.

The main home has been thoughtfully upgraded to enhance its timeless appeal. With a generous four-bedroom, two-bathroom floorplan and two expansive living areas, there's ample room for everyone to enjoy. French doors open onto inviting patios and verandas' that capture the tranquility of the gardens - perfect for relaxed entertaining or quiet moments with family and friends.

Tucked privately within its own leafy corner, the second dwelling (circa 1900) is a true delight - beautifully restored and ideal for guest accommodation, extended family, or as a proven short-stay rental earner. Its charm and privacy make it an attractive and easy-to-manage income stream.

For those seeking space to create, work, or store the essentials of country living, the impressive workshop provides room to spread out and pursue your passions. The stunning gardens exude calm and beauty and offer an area to be productive in, be it for yourself or other lucky visitors. The option to use this address to work from home is very viable, with travel time to the international airport in Christchurch only one hour forty minutes.

Convenience to Cheviot is an easy 15-minute drive and northern Christchurch can be reached within 90 minutes. This address is located within the scenic Alpine Pacific Triangle, and Kaikoura and Hanmer Springs make great day trips from here and added fun exploring.

With its blend of character, comfort, and lifestyle flexibility, this remarkable property invites you to live, earn, and enjoy - all from a location that feels worlds away yet close to everything you need.

So much on offer - this rare gem of a property must be seen to be appreciated.
