356 Hadlow Road, Timaru, Canterbury

There comes a time when you don’t want to leave the land, you just want it to work better for you. Set across 10.14 hectares of productive, well-subdivided South Canterbury countryside, this outstanding lifestyle holding strikes that rare balance between scale and manageability. Divided into 11 established paddocks, each serviced with water, the infrastructure here has been designed by people who understand farming, and it shows in every detail. The steel cattle yards, two-bay pole shed and substantial enclosed 180m² shed create a powerhouse of functionality. With extra-height roller doors, a drive-through bay, integrated workshop, and full electric mechanics hoist, this is a setup that supports real work, whether you’re still running a few head, restoring machinery, storing gear, or just needing space after a lifetime of collecting it. Adding further versatility is the separate three-bay Skyline garage, a practical utility building that lends itself perfectly to a sleepout, hobby studio, home business or overflow accommodation for family and visiting friends. Then there’s the home....completely balanced for comfort, modern living and entertaining, the recently renovated kitchen forms the heart of the house and features expansive benchtops, exceptional storage, and a fully equipped walk-in pantry. It’s a space designed not just to cook, but to bring people together. The living zones are a real standout. Light-filled, generously proportioned and thoughtfully laid out, the kitchen, dining and main living areas can be kept open for hosting or closed off for privacy, offering flexibility rarely found at this scale. A separate lounge-living zone and formal lounge both spill out onto the sun-drenched patio and sweeping lawn areas - ideal for family gatherings, grandchildren, or simply enjoying the ever changing rural vista , or the mountain /ocean outlook in peace. The four large double bedrooms are complemented by a substantial office or optional fifth bedroom and are ideal for those still running things from home or wanting additional guest space. Both bathrooms, family and ensuite, have been fully renovated with quality materials and fittings, alongside a separate toilet and laundry for everyday practicality. Double garage with covered access completes the home. Positioned within one of South Canterbury’s most respected and productive lifestyle communities, this property represents a natural next chapter, offering space where you want it, less work where you don’t, and infrastructure that lets you keep doing what you love, just on your terms. This isn’t downsizing. This is right-sizing your lifestyle. Plus GST (if any)
