C'est La Vie! SOLD To view all available documents please copy and paste the following link: https://www.propertyfiles.co.nz/property/33SandyBeachRd This is Life! This iconic and history rich waterfront home is brimming with country charm and peaceful seclusion. 'Rowan House' was crafted from local Matia & Totara timbers in the late 1800's. Nestled into the head of the bay and sheltered from the prevailing wind, this historic home steeped in history has been faithfully maintained and upgraded for modern living. The large farmstyle kitchen complete with Caesarstone benchtops & the distinctive Smeg 50's style whiteware, underfloor heating & rustic Italian tiles opens onto a lovely private courtyard, just one of the many beautiful areas to sit & enjoy the ambience of this unique property. There are 4/5 double bedrooms, master with ensuite & the large formal living room which opens out to the courtyard area with the summer house, perfectly framing the intimate & unobstructed views of Lyttelton Harbour; this flows on to the level front lawn, a secluded & private area with more magnificent views - they certainly knew how to pick the best locations back in the day! Established cottage gardens, a walking track to the beach, good access, plenty of parking & an oversize double garage make this amazing property one of a kind. The 632m2 site is intriguing and simply delightful, with meandering brick paths, raised beds and mature trees & chickens roaming the orchard. This exceptional home in its very special coastal position is like living in a rural seclusion with prolific birdlife & fabulous coastal walks yet only a short drive to the city for convenience. Governors Bay is only a quick 20min drive from Christchurch CBD, There is a wonderful range of amenities including the local hotel, pool & community centre, school, reserve and public tennis courts.
