12 Pye Road, Geraldine, Timaru, Canterbury

For the first time in 22 years, this much-loved family home is coming to market. Positioned at the very start of Pye Road, the property offers unbeatable access to Talbot Forest walking tracks and is an easy stroll down Priest Hill to the village.

Set on the coveted Downs, the home captures exceptional, uninterrupted views across rolling green hills, stretching out to the Canterbury Plains and mountains beyond. Originally built in the 1970s, it underwent a thoughtful modernisation in 2007 with Linea weatherboard cladding and a redesigned interior that delivers a classic, enduring style.

The spacious lounge features a raked ceiling and flows into a sunroom that showcases sweeping garden and rural vistas. Double sliders open to the dining room with its striking picture window — the true “money shot” — and the adjoining timeless kitchen completes the central living hub.

A tarsealed driveway leads to the welcoming black-and-white tiled foyer with stairs to the lower level. The upstairs layout includes all primary living spaces, plus a guest bedroom with ensuite and internal access to the double garage.

Downstairs, two garden-level bedrooms open directly to the patio and beautifully layered gardens. A main bathroom and separate toilet serve this floor, along with a versatile additional room (currently housing the laundry) ideal as an office, media room, music studio, or more. From here, a further storage or hobby room offers convenient outdoor access.

And then — the garden. A true labour of love, it unfolds in a series of enchanting “garden rooms,” impeccably staged and thoughtfully designed to create a sense of calm, beauty, and discovery.

Homes like this are rare on the market. Perfect for rural downsizers, couples, multigenerational living, or anyone seeking timeless style paired with breathtaking views on the Geraldine Downs.
