Urban homestead, optimised for living

At the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac in Sterling Park, this 2013-built home tells a story of comfort, connection, and self-sufficiency. More than a house, it's an urban homestead an eco-sanctuary designed to nourish both its people and the land it sits on.

Inside, the layout has been cleverly adapted from the original plan to create two spacious bedrooms and generous living zones, with the flexibility to convert the second lounge into guest accommodation if needed. The kitchen, the true heart of the home, isn't just for cooking; it's where baskets of produce arrive straight from the garden, where preserves are bottled, bread is broken, and long conversations linger. With its walk-in pantry and generous bench space, it makes feeding many as easy as feeding yourself.

The master suite includes a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite, and direct access to the spa and outdoor living. Seasonal comfort is assured with an eco-wood burner, gas fire, and heat pumps, while thoughtful storage solutions keep everything neatly in place.

Sustainability is woven into every corner. A Tesla solar system (26 panels, installed May 2022) anchors energy independence. Rainwater collection at multiple sites, complete with triple-filtering, makes the water potable, while automated irrigation keeps the grounds thriving. Beyond the home, more than a dozen mature fruit and nut trees, raised vegetable beds, berry plantings, herbs, and two tunnel houses provide year-round harvests. Potting sheds, composting stations, and even a distilling setup ensure nothing is wasted. Two hens- Shirley and Mrs C - deliver fresh eggs each day, completing the homestead picture.

Practicality is equally well considered, with an internal double garage and a second Archgola carport. Here, privacy and community go hand-in-hand, all while remaining within easy reach of Christchurch city and the airport.

This is more than a property - it's a lifestyle. A place where sustainability, comfort, and abundance are lived every day.
