Auction (unless sold prior)
From 11am, Thu 26 Nov 2026
3 Deans Avenue, Christchurch
There's a certain feeling that comes with having room to breathe.
Mornings begin beneath mature trees, with birdsong and open skies for company. Summer afternoons are spent by the pool, fruit is gathered from the orchard and animals graze quietly in the paddocks.
Spanning approximately six hectares, Nutgrove offers space, privacy, and a wonderful sense of seclusion. An oak-lined driveway leads to established gardens and mature plantings, while the walnut trees that give the property its name are dotted among five fenced paddocks. An orchard and vegetable gardens add to the property's country charm, creating a landscape that feels a world away.
At approximately 260sqm, the single-level brick home enjoys views across the grounds. The kitchen features oak cabinetry and granite benchtops, while four bedrooms include a generous master suite, complete with walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and doors opening out to an outdoor sitting area beside the pool. Two living areas, a dedicated study, family bathroom, and separate laundry provide flexibility, while an oversized double internal-access garage offers extensive built-in storage.
Thoughtfully upgraded for modern living, the home offers comfort, efficiency, and reduced running costs. Double glazing, ceiling insulation, five heat pumps and a log burner are complemented by a 12kW solar array with battery storage and EV charging capability. The payoff is striking, with the current owners reporting that after receiving solar export credits, the net electricity costs over the past 12 months came to just $11. Filtered drinking water and a private bore add further appeal.
Beyond the home, a separate 36sqm workshop, two-bay 6m x 6m barn, woodshed, clip-in irrigation points, and septic system complete the property's rural infrastructure.
For all its sense of retreat, everyday conveniences remain remarkably close. Mandeville Village shops are only minutes from your gate, with sporting and recreational facilities practically on your doorstep. Rangiora is approximately 15 minutes away, with Christchurch an easy 25-minute commute.
With the owners downsizing and committed to seeing Nutgrove sold, they are determined to achieve a result at auction - creating an exciting opportunity for buyers to secure this truly special property ahead of Christmas.
