Deadline Sale (unless sold prior)
12pm, Wed 5 Nov 2025

Character filled with feature wood panelling, mid-century cabinetry in the living room, original Japanese vintage wallpaper in the dining room, speak to a time when things were built to last. Each room has its own purpose and personality - there's no open plan here, just a series of cosy spaces with their own feel. Storage is generous, with all the nooks and crannies that make older homes such a pleasure.

Relax on the sheltered veranda and catch glimpses of the mountains beyond. The rambling garden offers a mix of flowers, mature trees, and open lawn, giving both structure and space to roam. Summer days are just perfect, take a dip in the pool, relax poolside under the figs with a good book.

A separate studio (needing a lot of love) offers potential for a workspace, creative retreat, or extra room. The land stretches across 5 hectares, giving you the freedom to run stock, keep a pony or two, or simply enjoy the space. Not to mention the huge shearing shed, the mind boggles with opportunity here.

With big sky views, there's silence here, at night the stars and Milky Way are brilliant. Yet you're only 25 minutes from Christchurch, 10 minutes to Mandeville Village with a supermarket, and five minutes to the local school.

A reluctant sale driven by health needs, the hope is that another family will find the same joy here that has been felt for decades.
