Description
This character-filled lifestyle property delivers a rare sense of calm and capability across 3.25 hectares. A 4-bay pole shed and cattle yards, sweeping lawns, productive land and a beautifully maintained home, it’s a setting that balances everyday comfort with genuine rural flexibility.
A separate lounge centres around a wood burner set against an exposed brick chimney, creating a natural gathering spot through cooler months, while large windows frame garden outlooks. The kitchen is thoughtfully arranged with a central island, generous bench space and a practical layout that keeps everything connected without feeling crowded.
Three well-sized bedrooms are complemented by a refreshed bathroom, complete with a freestanding bath and tiled shower, plus the added convenience of a separate toilet. Throughout the home, there’s a sense of care and continuity, blending original character with modernity that support easy day-to-day living.
Outdoors, this property shines. A pergola-covered patio sits nestled among established gardens, offering a sheltered spot for long lunches, quiet mornings or evening barbecues. Expansive lawns open out beyond the garden, bordered by mature trees that provide shelter and privacy. Multiple sheds and four-car garaging create serious space for vehicles, tools, hobbies or home-based work, while the surrounding land offers scope for animals, gardens or simply enjoying wide-open breathing room.
Positioned just minutes from Rakaia township, you’re close to local shops, cafés and essential services, with Ashburton an easy drive for larger amenities. The nearby Rakaia River is a well-known drawcard for fishing and outdoor recreation, while the Canterbury Plains stretch out in every direction, reinforcing the lifestyle appeal without isolation.
If you’re searching for a lifestyle property that’s established, functional and ready to be lived in, this one deserves your attention. Get in touch with Debbie Simmons for private viewings. Deadline sale date 23rd of February by 4pm
