Description
If you've been scouring the Canterbury lifestyle market for a property that caters as much to your hobbies, toys, and tools as it does to your family, your search stops right here.
Welcome to 5 Whitewood Crescent. Set on a sprawling 8401 sqm (approx. 2 acres) of prime West Melton land, this property is an absolute goldmine for tradies, car enthusiasts, or anyone who knows you can never have too much shed space.
The Main Event: Unrivaled Sheds, Storage & Workspace Forget compromising on your workshop. This property is fully equipped for your projects, business, or vehicle collection:
High-Stud 1&1/2 Bay Shed: Featuring 3 x roller doors, giving you the clearance and access you need for the boat, the camper, or a hoist.
2-Car Garage + Dedicated Workshop: Plenty of room for the daily drivers, plus built-in space to tinker.
2 x Separate Studios: Perfect for a home office, teenage retreat, or dedicated hobby rooms.
Abundant Outbuildings: A separate standalone shed, plus plenty of additional small sheds scattered throughout the property to keep your gear organized.
Practical Setup: Connected to rainwater and supported by 2 x surface water pumps to keep everything running smoothly.
The Home: Comfort & Character While you're out enjoying the workshop, the rest of the family will be living in absolute comfort. This charming, insulated home is designed for effortless living:
3 Spacious Bedrooms & 2 Bathrooms: Providing ample space and privacy for the whole family.
Warm & Inviting: Featuring a cozy log fire and partial double-glazing to keep the Canterbury winters at bay.
Open-Plan Living: A modern kitchen with a walk-in pantry flows seamlessly into the dining and living spaces.
Everyday Convenience: Complete with a separate laundry and a fully alarmed security system.
The Land: Your Private Rural Retreat The outdoor space is a true highlight of this property. The fully fenced yard offers a safe haven for kids and pets, while the beautifully landscaped gardens-complete with your very own berry cage-invite you to live the good life. Top it all off with a massive deck and patio area ("Entertainment Area Plus!") that is just begging for summer BBQs with friends.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a property that truly has it all-peaceful rural living with unmatched utility.
Properties with this much garaging and infrastructure don't sit on the market long.
