727 Downs Road, Eyrewell, Waimakariri

Aviators dream

For Sale - $1,395,000

727 Downs Road (10nm / 39km northwest Christchurch Airport) presents an incredible purchasing opportunity to aviators.
The property is 4.0ha (subject to title) and has access to Forest Field Aerodrome - one of the best private airfields in the country. It comprises three runways of varying lengths up to 1000m long, and caters for all Canterbury wind directions. The strategic positioning of the home is arguably the best on the airfield and offers panoramic views of the runways, and from the upper level you have 360-degree views of air traffic.

The airfield was originally established in 1988 by Pam and Ces Collings who had a dream of having their plane at the back door but, rather than just have a small airstrip, they chose a site that would accommodate suitable runways for the average pilot in the average club aeroplane. Ten properties currently share the use of the airfield.

The approximately 304sqm home was constructed by Benchmark homes in 2008, and offers excellent accommodation options. In total there are four double bedrooms, three living areas and four bathrooms. Adding further flexibility, the house has been cleverly designed with a self-contained guest wing. Both bedrooms in this wing are doubles, have ensuite bathrooms, and are supported by a kitchenette, living area and independent access.

Adjacent to the dwelling is an approximately 12x15m hangar (with a 3m awning) and has a bi-fold door which spans approx. 13m.
Opportunities like this are very rare and hard to come by. For further information or viewing times please contact Jack or Mark Pringle.
