Welcome to 299 Elmhurst Road, a property that offers so much more than a home - here you'll find space, charm and a lifestyle with real potential. Nestled on 4.0004 hectares (more or less) in the heart of Selwyn, this beautiful character home is set amongst established grounds, mature plantings and productive land, all within an easy drive of Darfield township.

Step inside the charming four-bedroom home and you'll immediately feel its warmth and welcoming ambience. The layout is practical and family-friendly, with the master bedroom featuring its own ensuite, while a well-appointed family bathroom services the rest of the household. The interior also highlights beautifully retained attributes, such as timber features and leadlight door panels, blending seamlessly with modern upgrades that enhance your comfort. Large windows and thoughtful design also make the home light and bright, with plenty of space for everyone.

The heart of the home is the modern open-plan kitchen and dining area that invites gatherings and easy entertaining with French doors opening seamlessly to the generous deck surrounded by lush greenery. The stunning kitchen boasts quality appliances and a central island bench while a log burner provides warmth during the cooler months, supported by a heat transfer system, HRV and hallway heater to ensure year-round comfort. For added versatility, a separate lounge provides a quiet space for relaxation and a separate outdoor studio provides extra space, ideal for an office or hobby room.

Beyond the home, the property offers excellent lifestyle infrastructure. A separate double garage provides secure storage and workshop space, while a substantial four-bay shed and dedicated hazelnut shed ensure you have all the room you need for equipment, vehicles and tools. A greenhouse extends your growing season, and six well-fenced paddocks are ideal for running stock or lifestyle animals.

Adding further appeal are the 1,400 (approximately) mature hazelnut trees, offering a productive crop and income stream for those looking to combine lifestyle with business. Complementing the nut orchard is a variety of fruit trees, walnuts and sheltered woodland areas including firewood lots, creating a diverse and established environment to enjoy. Well water supply is tank-stored and reticulated through a computer-controlled irrigation system for the Hazelnuts and orchard for ease and efficiency. Whether you're harvesting your own produce, tending animals, or simply relaxing in the tranquillity of rural life, this property delivers it all.

Here is your opportunity to secure a property with character, versatility and income potential. With Darfield's shops, schools and amenities just minutes away and Christchurch within easy commuting distance, 299 Elmhurst Road provides the best of both worlds - country living without compromise.
