A Lifestyle to Love and Space to Gather!

Auction | Wednesday 4 November 2026 from 10:00 a.m (unless sold prior) Holmwood Auction Rooms, 397 - 399 Ilam Road, Bryndwr If you yearn for a semi-rural way of life and plenty of room for a growing family, then this just might be the block you have been waiting for! Set on 4.46 hectares, a little over 11 acres, the 1970s, single level, concrete block home has been tastefully renovated throughout and is settled in a beautiful country garden surrounded by rolling green lawn and lovely established trees. The house itself has five bedrooms and wonderful living spaces, but a major drawcard is sure to be the one bedroom cottage built in 2021 to accommodate extended family. Entirely separate with it's own driveway, the cottage is independent, but close enough for grandchildren to pop across for a visit. This idyllic set-up is further enhanced by horse stables and a riding arena, or circuit. This could possibly be the dream come true for budding equestrians! Both dwellings are positioned facing North for glorious all day sun and plenty of options for sheltered outdoor living year round. The cottage rooms open onto a deck, and the main house has living and bedrooms spilling out onto terraces bounded by hedging and garden beds. This is a truly lovely setting in all seasons. Upgrading during our owner's tenure has been extensive with everything ready and waiting for the next family. Bathrooms and kitchen are up to the minute, and décor is fresh. A Yunca wood burner heats the family room and an open fire in the separate living room is a bonus. The house is almost completely double glazed. Set back from the road, this is a quiet and private property, an undeniably peaceful retreat, yet Clarkville is a mere twenty minute commute into the city. Kaiapoi is well-serviced with supermarkets less than five minutes' drive, and all the amenities at Northwood are not much further. If schooling is a priority, then Clarkville School is a full primary taking Years 1 to 8 and has an excellent reputation with a true country school flavour. With family now scattered, our serious seller is looking ahead to all that comes next. Already settled elsewhere with a new partner, they leave behind a much-loved home ready to be enjoyed by its new owners. Come and see if those new owners could be you!
