1257 Shands Road, Lincoln, Selwyn, Canterbury

Deadline Sale 1pm Tue 18 Mar 2025 (unless sold prior) With 1.49-hectares to its name, 'Wheatfields' stands as a testament to time and thoughtful evolution - an early 1900's villa where heritage detailing and a multi-residence configuration shape this lifestyle. A celebration of its time, this weatherboard villa showcases generously proportioned rooms; kauri, rimu, and totara timberwork, ornate fireplaces, a feature hallway arch, ornate ceilings and leadlight flourishes - honouring its era with pride. A grand lounge and dining area provide a natural gathering point, anchored by a kitchen where timber joinery, a Stanley log burner, and a gas hob nod to both tradition and practicality. Four bedrooms, one bathroom, a large office with outdoor access, and central heating across the home ensure capacity matches comfort and character. Beyond the villa, the estate unfolds with adaptability in mind. A healthy homes-compliant one-bedroom cottage stands self-contained with a kitchen, living area, bathroom, veranda, and detached single garage. Additionally, a one-bedroom sleepout with living area, shower, toilet and gas hot water expands the accommodation options, making this property an exceptional fit for extended families, guest stays, or independent living arrangements. Outdoors, the sheltered and established grounds are as considered as the dwellings. Fruit trees, vegetable gardens, and a native walkway enrich the land, while a self-sufficient water supply comprising two 25,000-litre storage tanks and a private well reinforces the property's practicality. Extensive outbuildings include a large storage barn with stables, a three-bay shed, and ample space for equipment or lifestyle pursuits. Adjacent to the cycle trail and offering dual access from Shands Road, 'Wheatfields' enjoys a privileged location - only five minutes from Lincoln, ten from Rolleston, and within easy reach of Christchurch - merging landscape with layout to create a property of rare scale and adaptability.
