Overview

Affordable First Home Buying!

A truly outstanding offering for those seeking to jump on the property ladder in Banks Peninsula. As many are finding out, a Little River lifestyle puts you in the heart of a wonderful small town community - warm-hearted, creative and vibrant, where traditional family values are the foundation of a Kiwi life. This permanent material three bedroom home has excellent bones, is right in the heart of the village and offers outstanding potential to add further value. Surprisingly quiet for a main road, the rear garden and fabulous entertainment area offers the most tranquil outlook across to the willows and the valleys beyond. All day sun keeps the house warm (for cooler months you have the bonus of a woodburner, nightstore and a heat pump). This is a great family home offering numerous bonuses such as a double garage, studio, playhouse for the kids and ample room to take advantage of the raised beds and grow your own food (there's even a great spot for chickens!) Of reassurance to buyers, this home was not affected by recent flooding and is fully insured. Christchurch City Council have done significant mitigation work further up the valley and are still actively working to improve future proofing in Little River. It is the ease of living here though that is so appealing. In addition to the regular carpooling into Christchurch organised by locals, there is a monthly GP clinic within 10 minutes at Birdlings Flat and High School buses take students in to Lincoln & Rolleston as well as another bus over the hill to the Area School in Akaroa. The local Netball, Rugby and Cricket clubs are well attended and in good heart and for those who love their outdoors, the Little River railtrail is right outside with numerous other outdoor pursuits including Kaituna Valley (and the famed Packhorse Walk), Lake Ellesmere and night sky watching at Birdlings Flat. Little River's popular cafe and restaurant need know introduction to travelers in these parts and the caravan next door has great sausage rolls. The neighbouring Vet and Council Service Centre are an asset to the village and it's a short bike ride to the wonderful Cheskin's Orchard in Coop Town (where the blossoms are). Christchurch is just 45 minutes away for those working in town and our French Coast 20 minutes over the hill. So much to love and a perfect antidote for those seeking to escape the madness of the world. With our owners realistic about meeting the market, this is truly an outstanding opportunity to pick up a great buy. Property to be sold by Deadline Sale on Wednesday 14th October (unless sold prior). Contact Jackie for further details.
