To find a lifestyle property of this calibre, only approximately 35 minutes' drive from the city, is indeed a rare and treasured opportunity. North-facing and set across 5.9 hectares of gentle rolling land, this exceptional property enjoys some of the very best views we have ever seen. Absolutely immaculate in every respect, it has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully developed.
The infrastructure is next level, with outstanding fencing, water supply and storage systems, excellent access, a well-formed driveway, extensive shedding, and generous storage areas. Every aspect has been maintained to the highest standard and is presented in exceptional condition.
Built in 2017, the family home is presented in impeccable condition and has recently undergone a significant refresh, including upgrading the kitchen and bathrooms, a full repaint, and the addition of a large mudroom at the rear of the home.
Offering four to five bedrooms, including a master with ensuite, and a spacious family bathroom, there is room for everyone to enjoy all that this property has to offer.
The land itself is much more than simply paddocks. Included within this special property is approximately one hectare of mature native bush, a truly magical setting featuring established mānuka, kānuka, and many other native species. A natural stream, seasonal waterfalls, prolific birdlife, and complete privacy create a peaceful retreat, all just an easy five-minute walk from the house. Native bush areas of this quality take decades to establish and are simply priceless.
The remainder of the land includes flat lawn areas surrounding the home, an orchard, a children's playhouse, and approximately six well-fenced paddocks, all serviced by troughs and ideal for livestock.
The views from almost every aspect of the property stretch from the heads of the harbour across to Lyttelton and beyond. They are breathtaking, ever-changing, and a constant source of enjoyment.
A four-bay Totalspan shed and two containers provide secure storage for tools and equipment, while a chicken run and animal shelter further enhance the property's practicality.
There are countless possibilities here, whether your interests lie in farming, horticulture, or simply enjoying an outstanding lifestyle property. There may also be potential for accommodation options such as holiday pods (subject to the necessary consents). Currently, a local farmer grazes the land, providing an arrangement that works exceptionally well for both parties. At its simplest, you could move straight in, and the only ongoing job would be to mow the lawns closest to the house.
The location is near perfect, with the local school, shops, beaches, and walking tracks all close at hand. The property is located less than five minutes drive to the Diamond Harbour local amenities, including the nearby Diamond Harbour School, KidsFirst Kindergarten, Four Square supermarket, and Two Thumb Brew Bar. The property is within the zone for Cashmere High School, and the regular ferry service to Lyttelton connects you to Christchurch City, providing a perfect balance of tranquil coastal living and urban convenience.
