Perched majestically upon 3 acres of beautifully manicured yet easily maintained grounds, this immaculately presented home boasts a sense of peace and tranquility that belies its proximity to every amenity you could ever require.

Dripping with character and charm, the colonial-style brick and cedar home features three bedrooms (two upstairs and one down), and bathrooms located on both levels. Versatile living areas include a spacious lounge, a separate dining room and a large rumpus room complete with sewing room/office, while the rustic, farm-style kitchen boasts all the prerequisite bells and whistles.

Stained glass doors and a feature bookcase are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the home's unique characteristics; the dedicated laundry room and the abundance of storage enhance practicality, and a bevy of heating solutions promise year-round contentment.

Outside, the sun-soaked grounds are simply stunning. Thriving orchards play host to fruit and hazelnut trees, various paved areas offer ample scope for alfresco entertaining, and the outdoor bath provides an indulgent way to unwind at the end of a long day.

Four well-fenced paddocks, a three-bay shed and an extensive irrigation system elevate the functionality of this magnificent parcel of land, while the 20sqm outbuilding could easily be used as a sleepout should needs dictate.
While it's easy to extol the virtues of the property itself it would be remiss not to mention the location, which will quite obviously be the highlight for many. The Darfield township, with its array of cafes, shops, medical facilities and schools, lies just 1.5km from your doorstep, ensuring every modern convenience is within easy reach. In addition, Christchurch City is just a short 30-minute drive away, while proximity to the winter playground that is the Southern Alps will hold instant appeal to those who love the great outdoors.
