In the heart of Mount Hutt Village, this rarely offered, character-filled villa presents an exceptional opportunity to secure a truly special home.

Previously known as Jasper Lodge, this gracious four-bedroom residence is rich in history, warmth, and timeless appeal. From the moment you arrive, the home’s charm is undeniable, beautiful wooden sash windows flood the interiors with natural light, while timber detailing throughout speaks to its heritage.

At the heart of the home is a large, modern kitchen that blends seamlessly with the villa’s character. Overlooking the living area, with a brand-new log burner to be installed prior to settlement, creating a cosy focal point for the cooler months. Comfort is further enhanced by a heat pump positioned in the hallway and a heat transfer system, ensuring warmth is efficiently distributed throughout the home. The adjoining dining nook opens effortlessly to a private, sheltered patio, ideal for entertaining or enjoying quiet moments outdoors.

Character features continue throughout, including original fireplaces in three of the four bedrooms, preserving the elegance of a bygone era. Every space tells a story, and it is clear this has been a much-loved family home. Reluctantly, the current owner moves on, leaving behind a property filled with memories and heart.

Set on a generous 1,011sqm (more or less) section, the established gardens are a true highlight, a vibrant tapestry of colour through the seasons. Multiple outdoor nooks invite you to enjoy morning coffee or afternoon wine, whether beneath the blooming wisteria draped across the front veranda or in one of the many peaceful corners surrounding the home.

A double garage provides excellent storage for vehicles and garden equipment, while the attached two level maisonette offers outstanding versatility. Complete with its own bathroom, this separate space is perfect for working from home, an art studio or work room etc.

Recent attention to detail has ensured the property is move-in ready, with refreshed grounds, newly edged pavements, and lime-stoned areas enhancing the overall presentation. The careful balance of character and thoughtful modernisation makes this home truly stand apart.

Spacious, story-filled, and seldom available, this is a rare opportunity for large families or those seeking a distinctive property in one of Canterbury’s most desirable alpine villages.
