Nestled within a sprawling 27-hectare estate, this exceptional property offers a blend of rural living and modern comfort. The centerpiece is a meticulously maintained four-bedroom residence, thoughtfully positioned amidst secluded, mature grounds and enchanting gardens that evoke a sense of timeless elegance.

The heart of the home lies in its expansive open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, designed for seamless flow and effortless entertaining. A separate lounge provides a space for relaxation, while a generously sized outdoor patio, shaded by elegant sails, extends the living space into the fresh, open air. The master suite boasts an ensuite and direct access to the verdant gardens, allowing for a seamless connection with nature. There are three additional bedrooms, with two featuring outdoor access, enhancing the home's connection to its picturesque surroundings.

Practical comforts are well catered for, with a robust log fire featuring a wetback system for efficient hot water heating, complemented by a heat pump for year-round climate control.

Currently operating as a grazing/finishing unit, the property is currently running 50 R2 beef cross cattle, which will be sold prior to winter. An additional 30 calves were purchased recently.

The property features a mixture of Claremont and Waterton soils, with soil testing conducted approximately 4 years ago. The pasture is a robust blend of rye grass and clover. While lucerne was previously grown, the current pasture program is fully pasture-based.

The property benefits from a reliable town water supply (3,000 L/day), primarily used for domestic purposes. Additionally, a spring-fed creek traverses the flat land, providing a surface water take. This water is pumped from the stream to troughs in each paddock, ensuring ample water for livestock.

A consistent fertiliser program is maintained, with 200wt/acre of Cropmaster 20 applied every second year. The paddocks are effectively subdivided using post and wire fencing.

For those with agricultural pursuits, the property offers a comprehensive suite of quality farm outbuildings, including:

Four-bay hay shed with a gravel floor (approx. 110sqm)

Workshop/implement three-bay shed (approx. 122sqm)

Implement two-bay shed (approx. 48sqm)

Woodshed (approx. 38sqm)

Additional pump shed and woodshed

The land itself, ideally suited for stock finishing and equestrian activities, features well-maintained cattle yards and a loading ramp, ensuring seamless management of livestock. The residence enjoys an elevated position on a natural terrace, offering panoramic views of the gently rolling land, creating a sense of serene command over the property.

Its appealing location provides the best of both worlds: the advantages of rural living with the convenience of urban amenities. Rangiora, with its diverse range of shops, services, and community facilities, is just a short drive away. Furthermore, the property's proximity to Christchurch, approximately 38.7 km, and its international airport, ensures effortless connectivity to wider destinations.
