The Quarter-Acre Dream – Dialled Up

Book with me for a private viewing Dulcie Ellis 0276293260

Set on a generous 1367m² section in Rakaia, this 150m² four-bedroom home strikes a confident balance between personality and practicality. Rich textures, layered accents and thoughtfully chosen colour palettes create a distinctive interior presence, while the expansive grounds elevate the lifestyle factor in a way that’s becoming increasingly hard to find.

The living room is centred around a fireplace that adds warmth through the cooler Canterbury months. Large windows draw in natural light, while the adjoining dining area connects easily to the kitchen. Here, timber cabinetry, open shelving, tiled splashback, quality appliances and strong visual styling create a space that feels curated and functional. A skylight enhances the natural light, and the adjoining sun room offers flexibility as a second lounge, hobby space or quiet retreat.

Four bedrooms branch off the central hallway. Two include built-in wardrobes, while the remaining rooms provide adaptable quarters for family, guests or workspace. The bathroom is a standout feature, fully tiled with patterned flooring, a freestanding bath, glass shower and twin vanities. A separate WC and dedicated laundry add everyday practicality.

Outdoors, the property truly opens up. A large entertainer’s deck flows to expansive lawns, raised planter boxes, greenhouse and established fruit trees. The covered patio and sheltered spa area extend usability year-round. The section is fully fenced and gated, offering security and peace of mind, with a standalone garage and ample off-street parking.

Rakaia is known for its iconic salmon fishing, strong community feel and easy access to Ashburton and Christchurch via SH1. With local schooling, cafés and everyday amenities close by, it delivers lifestyle and convenience. If you’ve been searching for something one-of-a-kind, this could be it.
