183 Smythes Road, Leeston, Selwyn, Canterbury

If you are looking for a lifestyle block with scale and scope, look no further than this 13.4-hectare property, conveniently located near the townships of Leeston and Dunsandel, and an easy commute to Rolleston, Lincoln, and the city.

This property offers a comfortable three-bedroom home in a mature and sheltered setting, with open-plan living (including a log burner) and a north-facing deck for outdoor entertaining. Garaging consists of a large double garage with two attached rooms, ideal for storage or hobbies. This is connected to the house by a covered porch.

The excellent outbuildings include an 18m x 12m shed with three over-height vehicle access doors, a 12m x 12m two-bay shed with one lock-up bay, and a four-bay implement shed. There is also a useful utility shed and chook house, plus cattle yards and a loading ramp. The soils are predominantly the renowned Windermere Peat, which offers the opportunity to grow everything from vegetables to cereals, or it could simply be a highly productive grass block for grazing stock.

This property will respond very well to some TLC and could be anything from a contractor’s yard to a vegetable-growing hub, or simply a lifestyle haven.

The price is plus GST on land (if any).
