313 Ashley Gorge Road, Oxford, Waimakariri, Canterbury

Those wanting a quieter life without losing everyday comfort will feel drawn to this Oxford lifestyle dwelling, set on a substantial landholding with a 171m² floor plan. Surrounded by rural lifestyle outlooks and open sky, it’s a home made for slowing down and enjoying a more grounded daily rhythm.

Light does a lot of the work in the living room, where large double glazed windows and sliders frame the garden and views of the Canterbury plains beyond. This home has sun all day with the wood burner and HRV keeping winter evenings cosy. The open plan dining area shares the same relaxed outlook with the kitchen sitting alongside, with its generous bench space and island with seating. Views can be seen from every window.

Two bedrooms sit within the main home. A bathroom, separate toilet and separate laundry support daily routines, while the sleepout beside the garage has its own en-suite, making it a handy option for guests, older children, hobbies or work-from-home use.

Outside, multiple decks give you places to follow the sun, eat outdoors or settle in at the end of the day. The large garage adds secure parking and workshop. In additional to this there is a three bay hay shed with deer fenced stockyards. Across the wider 24.1309 ha of land, there are 200 mature hazelnut trees that can generate an income, fully deer fenced paddocks, house vege beds and gardens. There is plenty of water storage for all paddocks to run sheep, beef or deer. This is the kind of outdoor lifestyle Oxford buyers often come looking for.

Oxford village is within easy reach for everyday essentials, with cafés and shops along Main Street, Oxford Area School, Pearson Park and the Oxford Farmers Market all part of the local rhythm.
