This is a lifestyle property that truly has it all — space, flexibility, and quality. Set on 10 acres just minutes from Rangiora, this beautifully developed property combines a modern family home with a large self-contained studio, exceptional shedding, and versatile facilities suitable for equestrian use, hobbies, or home-based business.
The Residence
Designed with both comfort and practicality in mind, the spacious home offers three generous bedrooms downstairs including a master suite with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite plus a family bathroom and excellent storage. Three separate living areas provide flexibility for family life, with an open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge forming the heart of the home, and a second lounge for quieter moments.
Upstairs, a self-contained studio apartment or 4th bedroom (with kitchenette and bathroom sits above the large 2.5 car garage (with laundry & separate WC) — ideal for extended family, teenage retreat or master suite.
The Infrastructure
Few lifestyle blocks offer such well-thought-out infrastructure. A substantial 320sqm barn complex includes six lined bays currently configured as stables with an internal wash bay and feed/storage areas — easily repurposed for vehicle, boat or machinery storage, a workshop, kennels, small business base, or even a creative studio or events space. Under the same roof line sits four 8m x 4m external facing bays, with new LED lighting and internal cameras.
A new three-bay implement shed provides additional covered parking or workspace.
Outside, a 60×20m all-weather arena with floodlights offers scope for equestrian pursuits, sports training, or conversion to a large flat leisure area. The 10 acres are divided into nine well-fenced paddocks — easily adapted for grazing, horticulture, or animals of your choice. Two 20-ft containers provide handy secure storage, one fitted as a tack room.
The Lifestyle
Located on a quiet Fernside road, the property enjoys peaceful rural surroundings yet is only a few minutes to Rangiora and 30 minutes to Christchurch City or the airport.
With its combination of modern living, income potential, and serious infrastructure, this is a property that suits families, tradespeople, equestrians, or anyone seeking a well-set-up lifestyle base close to town.
