188B Doake Road, Washdyke, Timaru, Canterbury

An exceptional five-acre lifestyle sanctuary where breathtaking 360-degree views, modern luxury, and effortless country living come together.

Welcome to a truly exceptional lifestyle property where modern living meets breathtaking rural beauty. Positioned on an elevated hilltop, this stunning five-acre property enjoys uninterrupted 360-degree views across the mountains, rolling countryside, and out to the ocean. It's a setting that's incredibly difficult to replicate and one that buyers are always searching for.

Conveniently located just five minutes from Pleasant Point and only 20 minutes from Timaru, you'll enjoy the peace and privacy of country living without sacrificing everyday convenience.

At the heart of the property is a beautifully presented McRaeway-built home, completed less than a year ago. This near-new residence offers all the benefits of modern construction without the stress, delays, or rising costs of building yourself.

The home features two comfortable bedrooms, a stylish family bathroom, an open-plan living area, a Woodsman log fire with wetback for efficient heating and hot water, and an HRV ventilation system, creating a warm, healthy, and energy-efficient home all year round.

Further enhancing the property's appeal is a separate standalone building, offering outstanding flexibility and exciting future potential. Whether you're looking to create two additional bedrooms, a dedicated home office or study, a creative studio, hobby room, gym, or extra accommodation, this versatile space provides endless possibilities to tailor the property to your lifestyle. It's a valuable addition that offers room to grow, work from home, or add further functionality as your needs evolve.

Adding even more value is the fully self-contained studio, complete with its own kitchenette and bathroom. Configured as either a one-bedroom with a separate lounge or a spacious two-bedroom layout, it offers incredible flexibility. Previously rented for $250 per week, it's ideal for generating additional income, accommodating extended family, running a business from home, or providing private guest accommodation.

Outside, the property is equally impressive. The five acres have been thoughtfully developed with new fencing, dividing the land into three well-sized paddocks, each serviced by water troughs. A row of established gum trees adds character and shelter, making the land ideal for livestock, horses, or simply embracing the lifestyle.

Storage and workspace are well catered for with a substantial three-bay shed, featuring two enclosed bays and one open bay - perfect for vehicles, machinery, trailers, or hobbies.

The property also benefits from a reliable and modern water system, with large in-ground rainwater tanks collecting water from both the house and shed, complemented by a new UV water treatment system supplying fresh, clean water to both the home and studio.

This is a complete lifestyle package that requires little further investment. Modern improvements, quality infrastructure, genuine income potential, and one of the most spectacular outlooks in the region combine to create a property that is truly special.

If you've been searching for a premium lifestyle property that offers exceptional views, contemporary living, versatility, and enduring value, this is an opportunity not to be missed.

The art of elevated living isn't just a headline - it's exactly what this remarkable property delivers. Come and experience it for yourself.
