The Perfect Starter Lifestyle

3.8 Hectares on Kirwee's edge - space, shelter, and potential in a sought-after rural setting.
Set on approximately 3.8 hectares on the outskirts of Kirwee, this charming farmlet offers an ideal entry point into lifestyle living - with room for animals, space for families to grow, and solid infrastructure already in place.
The home is a true blank canvas inside, ready for your personal touch. All three bedrooms are generous doubles and feature double-glazed windows for warmth and comfort. The kitchen is practical and well-appointed with a dishwasher, wall oven, and pantry, while a separate dining area flows into the spacious lounge.
The front of the home is beautifully sun-drenched and features a welcoming sunroom - ideal for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or a cosy winter retreat. With both a log burner and a heat pump, the home stays comfortable year-round. Everyday rural living is made easy with a dedicated mudroom, separate laundry, and a separate toilet.

Behind the house, a private and sheltered yard creates the perfect setting for year-round outdoor living and entertaining - safely tucked away from the main road. Established trees and an abundance of fruit trees surround the home, offering shelter, privacy, and a genuine country feel. The paddocks are well-fenced and ready for animals to graze, and the orchard is ready for harvest.
Outside infrastructure is a standout, featuring a double garage and a three-bay barn ideal for storage, workshop space, or animal housing. Two separate studio buildings sit within the house yard, connected by a sunny communal deck - providing fantastic spaces for hobbies, work-from-home setups, creative pursuits, or additional storage. There’s even an outdoor bath, a chicken house, and ample scope to further develop a self-sufficient lifestyle.
Located just minutes from Kirwee township and within easy reach of Christchurch and Rolleston, this property delivers affordable, flexible lifestyle living in a growing and highly desirable area.
Starter lifestyle blocks offering this much land, infrastructure, and potential are increasingly rare - this is an opportunity not to miss.
