31 Kellaway Terrace, Waikari, Hurunui, Canterbury

Set on 3.0731ha on the edge of Waikari, this is a lifestyle property where the hard work is already done, from established planting to a home that’s been thoughtfully set up to take full advantage of its north-facing outlook and long, sun-filled days.

The living area centres around connection and outlook, with open-plan dining and lounge flowing easily out to a large deck that captures those wide rural views. A woodburner and heat pump keep things comfortable year-round, while the kitchen is well laid out with generous bench space, a pantry and a position that keeps you part of everything happening around you.

Three genuine double bedrooms are supported by a separate office, giving you flexibility for work or extra accommodation. The main bedroom opens directly outdoors and includes an outdoor shower for summer, while the family bathroom, separate toilet and dedicated laundry make everyday routines run smoothly.

Step outside and you start to see how much this property gives back. Landscaped gardens wrap the home, leading out to flat to moderately sloping land with an established olive grove, well-fenced paddocks and a stand of macrocarpa providing a long-term firewood supply. There is a double garage, wood shed, potting shed, shade house and raised garden beds already in place, so you can get straight into growing, storing and making full use of the land.

In Waikari, you are part of a well-established rural community with local schooling and essentials close by, while Amberley is an easy drive for supermarkets, services and cafés. Christchurch remains a practical option for commuting or weekend access, giving you the balance of country living without losing connection.

Steve Collier would welcome you through and show you how well this property can work day to day.
