Located just 7km from Rangiora, this beautifully presented lifestyle property offers the perfect blend of rural tranquillity and modern convenience. Whether you're upsizing, downsizing, or simply seeking a change of pace, this versatile home is sure to attract wide interest.

Step inside to discover a freshly renovated interior featuring new flooring, fresh paint throughout, a new ceiling with LED lighting in the living areas, and a brand-new roof, gutters, and fascia on the house, carport, and garage. The kitchen, updated 10 years ago, remains in excellent condition with a timeless neutral design, ample storage, double oven, electric cook top, new dishwasher, and a breakfast bar that connects seamlessly to the lounge.

The semi open-plan layout includes a kitchen/dining/lounge area divided by a stylish built-in shelving unit, plus a separate living room that can be closed off for privacy. Both lounges and the dining area open onto a spacious verandah, overlooking a lush lawn and beautifully landscaped gardens that burst into life with seasonal colour and provide natural privacy.

The home offers three generous double bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes, a well-appointed bathroom with a large vanity, shower, heated towel rail, and ample storage, plus a separate laundry with an additional toilet. A large wood burner with a heat transfer system and new ceiling insulation ensures warmth and comfort throughout the cooler months.

From the mudroom, you'll find a dedicated office space with access to the carport and the stunning pool area—a private oasis complete with a changing shed, pergola with seating, and a built-in BBQ, perfect for relaxing and entertaining all summer long.

Beyond the pool area lies a self-contained portable unit (not consented but built to code), featuring a bedroom, bathroom, living area with kitchenette, and a large, covered deck. Each room is double-glazed, insulated, and fitted with wall heaters.

The property also includes a large carport with a woodshed, a double garage with an expansive workshop, and sits on 2.19 hectares—ideal for raising stock. There are five paddocks and multiple sheds, including a three-bay hay shed (two open, one enclosed as a workshop), a high-stud open shed with drive-through access (not consented but built to code), and a twin garage.

A large vegetable garden, glasshouse, water tanks (18,000L) with one unit of county water per day, and a small shed perfect for chickens or lambs round out this impressive offering.
