2612 Wards Road, Darfield, Selwyn, Canterbury

Offering the breathing room of a full hectare (approx.) while keeping township life close at hand, this well-presented lifestyle property sits just minutes from Darfield and delivers a practical, easy-care rural setup.

At the heart of the home is a light-filled open plan kitchen, dining, and living area that flows effortlessly to a sunny patio - ideal for relaxed entertaining, long lunches, and keeping an eye on kids or animals outdoors. Practical comfort is well covered with double glazing, a log burner, two heat pumps, and the added bonus of solar panels to help keep running costs in check.

Three bedrooms are supported by two bathrooms, including a master ensuite, while a separate double garage with a covered walkway incorporates the laundry and adds everyday convenience.

Outside is where the lifestyle really shines. Established gardens create shelter and privacy, an irrigated orchard and greenhouse support home-grown ambitions, and a chicken coop plus animal shelters make hobby farming easy to step into. With four paddocks already in place and a four-bay shed providing excellent storage, there’s ample room for ponies, stock, vehicles, and all the gear that comes with rural living.

Location seals the deal. Darfield township is only minutes away for schools, cafés, and daily essentials, while Rolleston and Christchurch are easily accessible for commuting or a city fix when required.

This is lifestyle living done properly - manageable, well set up, and ready to enjoy from day one.
