62 Broad Street, Southbridge, Selwyn, Canterbury

This 2.3-hectare estate is one of Southbridge’s most treasured addresses. Rarely does a property bring this level of presence - a grand, enchanting homestead paired with genuine lifestyle potential, exceptional privacy and room for it all.

The 340m² residence unfolds across two levels. High ceilings, ornate detailing, rich timberwork and generous bay windows honour its heritage. The ground floor carries a stately quality. A separate formal lounge, a large dining room and an additional drawing room each offer their own sense of occasion. The grand entry hall and central staircase anchor the home with elegance and warmth.

Upstairs, five spacious bedrooms sit privately together, all bathed in natural light and outlooks across the gardens. The master opens directly to the upstairs balcony and includes its own ensuite, while a second bedroom also flows out. A family bathroom and separate toilet complete this level, with a third toilet with basin conveniently placed downstairs.

Outside, four fenced paddocks create options for animals, hobbies or grazing. There's four-car garaging plus a massive workshop to house an additional six vehicles - a dream for classic car collectors. A large separate studio further supports flexibility as a games room, creative space or sleepout. The entire home is serviced by pure well water.

The grounds hold charm. Expansive lawns for gatherings and lawn parties, established plantings for privacy and beauty, and multiple garden pockets that feel both peaceful and purposeful. There is clear scope for enhancement should you wish to put your own stamp on the property while preserving its timeless character.

Located on the quiet outskirts of Southbridge, this is a friendly and well-connected rural township with great sports facilities, schooling and conveniences close by. The commute to Rolleston, Lincoln or Christchurch remains easy, making this an extraordinary lifestyle choice.
