12 Makerikeri Road, Loburn, Waimakariri, Canterbury

Set amid rolling countryside, this stunning lifestyle property offers space, serenity and sweeping, unobstructed views of the hills and Southern Alps - right down to Mt Hutt. Positioned on an elevated site, the two storey home makes the most of its outlook, with expansive decking providing seamless indoor/outdoor flow for entertaining or simply soaking in the scenery.

Inside, the open plan kitchen, dining and living area forms the heart of the home. The modern kitchen features a granite benchtop, large walk-in pantry and an additional storage or "jam room" nearby - perfect for the home preserver or hobbyist. A separate lounge and an office off the entrance offer flexibility for family living or working from home.

The master suite, complete with ensuite and walk-in robe, is conveniently located downstairs alongside another bedroom and family bathroom with separate toilet. Upstairs, a third lounge provides a relaxed retreat with two additional bedrooms and a bathroom - including one bedroom that hides a delightful secret room through the wardrobe, straight out of Narnia!

Heating is provided by a log burner, heat pump and with solar assisted electric water heating adding to the home's efficiency. The double garage, with internal access, also features an oversized stud, providing extra height ideal for larger vehicles or additional storage.

Outdoors, the property continues to impress with five well fenced paddocks, extensive native plantings, mature trees, an orchard, dedicated vegetable garden area, stock yard, shelter shed and a three-bay barn (two bays enclosed).

This is a superb and desirable setting offering both lifestyle and convenience. With the children now off spreading their wings, it's time for my owners to resize so this property will be sold. Call now for further information or to arrange your viewing.
