The Lifestyle You Have Been Waiting For

6.8ha
Architecturally designed by Wilson and Hill Architects, this six bedroom, two bathroom home perfectly balances rustic charm with functional contemporary living. The U shape design sees the living areas, dining and kitchen positioned at the base of U so as to capture the surrounding natural vistas and all day sun. Two bedroom wings then complete the floor plan. Tucked on the west wing is the master suite with ensuite and three generous sized bedrooms. Perfectly established for guests or teenage haven is the east wing, which houses the home's remaining two bedrooms - each opening to the verandah. A third living space and double car garage complete this wing. Central living areas open up to a spacious paved patio area, complete with stunning built in BBQ. Kauri doors, Rimu joinery, recycled Rimu flooring and an Oregon pitched ceiling. A formal lounge and separate dining area then lead into the heart of the home, the kitchen - warm and inviting with walk-in-pantry, coal range, bay windows and recycled rimu floor. Well insulated, home heating includes heat pumps, Jet Master fire, panel heaters and some under tile heating. Extensive attic storage with pull down ladder and a separate laundry ensure functionality has been well considered. Providing connection between the house and pasture is the outdoor living area. A semi-circular HaHa is found out the front providing uninterrupted rural views, while a chook run, fruit trees and stone feature pergolas set the scene for outdoor living. Surrounding the home is 6.80 hectares of pastoral land. Divided into six paddocks it has been established for the running of stock. Himalayan Cedar and Leyland Cypress trees form shelter while a 4-bay shed with one enclosed bay ensures there is ample storage for machinery, farm equipment and vehicles. Offering the best of both worlds - quiet tranquility and the convenience of a short drive to Christchurch city.
