Description
Turnkey package anticipated for completion in the first quarter of 2026, there’s something special about getting in early. Before the walls rise and the paint is chosen, you already know this will be a home built for both comfort and connection. This proposed new build offers everyday ease across four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 170m² of living, all perfectly sited on a 690m² section. It’s a place that feels right for families mapping out their next chapter, professionals seeking balance, or anyone wanting to secure a foothold in one of Canterbury’s most enviable alpine towns.
At the centre of the plan is a living and dining hub designed for togetherness. Generous glazing is set to frame the spaces with natural light and outdoor views, while the kitchen, with its walk-in pantry, anchors the social core, equally suited to effortless week-night meals and relaxed entertaining.
The layout balances this openness with private retreats. A master suite with walk-in robe and ensuite promises comfort and seclusion, while three further bedrooms add flexibility for children, guests, or a work-from-home setup. The family bathroom, planned with both tub and separate shower, ensures practicality meets everyday ease.
Outdoors, the 690m² section offers more than just elbow room - it’s a canvas. A single garage pairs with extra off street parking for everyday ease, while the wide sweep of land invites you to shape it your way: a sun-soaked deck, or simply a green expanse where kids and pets can run free. However you choose to use it, there’s room here for life to spill naturally beyond the walls.
Here in Methven, you’re buying into a lifestyle. With Mt Hutt’s ski slopes less than half an hour away, rivers and trails in every direction, and a township that hums with good schools, cafés, and community spirit, this is where everyday living feels elevated. Christchurch is within easy reach, but once you’re here, you may find few reasons to leave.
