Nestled into a mature and well established garden, sits an attractive 4-5 bedroom home, with great indoor outdoor flow and country living style. The expansive grounds incorporate an in ground swimming pool and tennis court area. The range of mature tree species is home to abundant birdlife. Originally built for a larger farm property, this 220 m2 homestead has heaps of space with 3 large living areas, along with a substantial rear deck area. There is also a relaxing area at the front which is bathed in afternoon and evening sun. Immediately adjacent to the house is a double garage with storage area. The property, comprising 2.9 hectares in total, is somewhat smaller than many lifestyle properties, which results in much easier overall management. It has shelter on all boundaries which encompass and protect the range of “farm” buildings. These include a rustic woolshed with adjacent sheep yards, a large covered shed suitable for storage or raising calves, a 6 bay implement shed with a lockable workshop with power, stables also with power connected. The location has easy access to nearby Amberley (9 mins), Rangiora (25 mins - secondary school bus available) and Christchurch (48 mins). The property is situated in zone for the highly regarded Broomfield primary school (years 1-8), a traditional school of 120 pupils, with school bus from the gate. It is in close proximity to the highly regarded and popular Waipara wine district, with Hanmer Springs, Kaikoura and beyond all readily accessible.
