Overview

Established Heathcote River Homestead

UNDER OFFER | Situated on a terrace above the Heathcote River, this established character home is one of five original large homesteads built in the area. With its distinctive architecture and rich detailing, it remains a rare piece of local history that has been carefully renovated to meet modern living needs while still preserving its charm. This is a home that understands the demands of modern family life. One of its standout features is a fully self-contained wing, offering endless options as a teenager's retreat, guest accommodation, or a dedicated home office. The focus on lifestyle continues outside with a beautiful heated swimming pool and basketball area, creating an entertainer’s paradise ready for immediate enjoyment. The home offers four bedrooms and two bathrooms, with the stunning master suite enjoying afternoon sun through large bifold windows. Two more bedrooms sit upstairs alongside the family bathroom, which includes a separate bath and shower. The fourth bedroom forms part of the rear wing, a self-contained unit complete with its own hot water cylinder and power account. Ideal for extended family, independent living, or rental potential. Character features such as leadlight windows, timber panelling, traditional joinery, and a window seat have all been retained, while the traditional floor plan ensures the home’s heritage is respected. The large lounge provides zones for entertaining and relaxation, opening through French doors to a private deck that overlooks a sun-soaked, heated swimming pool. Heating is well covered with a gas fire, two heat pumps and panel heaters. Practical additions include a separate laundry, multiple car spaces, a large garage and a recently built glasshouse. The 1,348m² section is well-planted with mature, established trees, vegetable planters, and low-maintenance gardens, while also featuring a basketball area for fun or doubles as extra off-street car parking. The location enhances the lifestyle on offer: a short walk to Hansen Park, close to popular primary schools such as Rudolf Steiner, Hillview Christian, St Marks, and Opawa, and just minutes to The Tannery. The Port Hills and Rapaki Track begin nearby, with the Ferrymead Pony Club and Heathcote Valley Riding School also close at hand. Lyttelton Marina is only a 10-minute drive, providing yet another dimension to the recreation and leisure opportunities in this unique setting.
