12 Swamp Road, Cust, Waimakariri, Canterbury

Amongst the rolling pastures of Cust, this charming lifestyle property captures the essence of rural living. Spread across 3.1565 hectares of gently contoured land, it’s the perfect setting for those seeking space, simplicity and connection to the land. Whether you dream of keeping horses, grazing a few sheep or cattle, or simply enjoying the serenity of open countryside, this property delivers it all in one timeless package.

The dwelling offers a clever, compact design that brings together comfort and practicality. The living area combines kitchen, lounge and laundry spaces, creating a functional hub that’s full of character. Rustic timber floors and exposed black ceiling beams lend a hint of industrial style, balanced by soft natural light and the warmth of a wall-mounted heater.

The adjoining kitchenette is well equipped with wooden benchtops, dark grey subway tiles and open shelving, while the adjoining utility zone includes space for laundry appliances and storage. A separate bedroom continues the rustic charm with high-pitched ceilings, exposed beams and thoughtful details that make the space feel both cosy and practical.

Beyond the home, the land unfolds in a series of well-kept paddocks, perfect for horses or hobby farming. Multiple outbuildings, sheds, provide excellent scope for storage, workshops, or animal care. The property’s established trees, grassy lanes and red-foliaged shelter belts create a picturesque setting that changes beautifully with the seasons.

Outside, there is space to build your dream home. Call the architect to design your one of a kind home. You can imagine wandering across rolling lawns to the pond, or simply soaking in the green vistas in every direction. The location offers the best of both worlds, a tranquil countryside retreat just minutes from Cust’s friendly village township, 20 minutes from Rangiora and an easy 35–40 minutes north of Christchurch.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to secure your own slice of North Canterbury lifestyle living!
