There's also a timeless country kitchen, warm with timber finishes and built for everyday living.
Downstairs, the architecture really comes into its own. High stud ceilings, vaulted timber lines, polished concrete floors with underfloor heating, and barn-style doors throughout- every detail considered and built to last. It's a home that photographs beautifully but feels even better in person.

This level starts with a separate studio, complete with its own kitchenette, lounge, bathroom and entrance, ideal for extended family or guests. From there, three further bedrooms, two with ensuites, plus a separate toilet.

The 340sqm (more or less) barn-style home is grand in scale yet incredibly warm and inviting. Recently renovated, the interiors blend a homestead feel with alpine character, creating a home that is both impressive and wonderfully comfortable. With six bedrooms, including two with walk-in wardrobes and three with ensuites, there is plenty of room for family, friends and guests.

The main living space is truly impressive in scale, thoughtfully designed to accommodate both large gatherings and intimate evenings at home. Multiple seating areas create a wonderful sense of space while still maintaining a warm and inviting atmosphere, complemented by a generous dining area perfect for bringing family and guests together. Opening through a wraparound covered verandah to an expansive deck, the room captures spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and provides an effortless connection to the outdoors. Grand enough to entertain on a larger scale, yet warm and comfortable enough to feel like your own alpine retreat.

Heating has also been carefully considered, with wood pellet radiators throughout the home, two heat pumps, a double-door coal range in the kitchen and living area, and a striking feature open fire creating a cosy focal point.

Outside, the grounds are every bit as impressive. Mature hedging and established trees provide privacy, while a stream meanders through the property. The land is exceptionally well set up, with three large paddocks, three smaller paddocks, a horse arena and individual yards, making this an ideal proposition for equestrian pursuits or simply enjoying the space a property of this scale provides.

The property also offers exciting possibilities for those looking to create an income or hospitality-based lifestyle. Currently utilised as a Bed and Breakfast and Wedding Venue, there is a large wedding barn constructed by the previous owners, which has been successfully used for weddings over summer (further council consent may be required). Tucked away within the gardens is a two-bay outdoor pavilion, perfect for entertaining smaller groups or enjoying long summer evenings with family and friends.

Further improvements include a three-bay hay shed and tack room adjoining the arena, along with a double garage beside the home and additional storage.

This is a property that has to be experienced. Beautifully decorated, thoughtfully presented and surrounded by an incredible landscape, it is a home that has become well known in the area, with visitors consistently captivated by its character and charm.

Whether you are looking for a lifestyle property to enjoy with your family, a beautifully established rural escape, or the opportunity to create a unique destination for others to enjoy, this exceptional Staveley property offers the space, setting and versatility to make it your own.

Refreshed, and Ready. Rural Bliss, Urban Ease

Less than ten minutes to Te Awamutu, enjoying an elevated position with sweeping views across the surrounding countryside, this substantial Lockwood-style home has been thoughtfully reclad and updated to blend timeless timber character with fresh, modern comfort — all just a short drive from town.

Set on a generous 6,252sqm (more or less) of largely flat, park-like lawns, the property greets you via electric gated access with a wide, sweeping turning bay — practical, private, and a not to the quality on offer here.

Inside, 245sqm (more or less) of living unfolds beneath soaring pitched ceilings and beautiful timber detailing, punctuated by crisp, contemporary finishes that give the home a fresh aesthetic to suit a wide range of tastes. The home has recently been reclad with double-glazed joinery throughout, and has a brand-new kitchen finished with quality benchtops and appliances, along with a stylish new ensuite. A wood burner and solid fuel heater keep the home warm and inviting through the cooler months while dual heat pumps speak to year-round comfort.

The home offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms (including the ensuite to the primary bedroom), along with two separate living areas — giving families room to spread out, or the flexibility to convert some or all of the second living space into a fourth bedroom, should you need it.

Sliding doors open from the sunny, open-plan living space and from the master bedroom out to the deck and patio, drawing the outdoors in and making the most of the elevated aspect and sunny norther-facing position.

A double internal garage provides secure, convenient parking, while a generous two-bay shed with attached wood shed offers further storage for vehicles, machinery, or hobbies. The established grounds are a feature in their own right, with landscaped gardens centred around a gorgeous pond area — a peaceful spot to sit back and feed the goldfish.

Whether you're after space for a growing family, room to entertain, or simply a slice of elevated rural calm within easy reach of Te Awamutu, 168 Te Kawa Road delivers on every front.

Your newly renovated home awaits!

Character, countryside and comfort converge at this 1.38ha (3.41 acres approx.) property, where a freshly finished renovation with both Riverhead and Coatesville's coveted convenience bring a contemporary dimension to lifestyle living.

Behind its timeless weatherboard exterior, a considered upgrade gives everyday living fresh definition through a modern-country kitchen appointed with new appliances, a scullery and a serving window, achieving an effortless balance between authenticity and practicality.

Beautifully polished timber floors introduce natural character underfoot while open plan living is warmed by a wood burner and heat pump. The four-bedroom layout continues the family focused approach, led by a main bedroom showcasing a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and direct access outdoors. A modern family bathroom, separate toilet upstairs and double glazing put the finishing touches to a home that places equal emphasis on comfort, quality and functionality.

Beyond the home, the expansive covered deck creates an all year-round social setting for everything from relaxed family dinners to larger scale entertaining and flows to the sprawling lawn offering easy-care simplicity while leaving a blank canvas for future landscaping or pool, before giving way to fully fenced hobby paddocks that provide the flexibility to graze animals, grow your own produce or enjoy the luxury of open space.

A double garage is supported by extensive off-street parking for the boat, campervan and everyday vehicles, while a lean-to, workshop and under-house storage provide the versatility to accommodate projects, equipment and every stage of lifestyle living.

Just minutes from Riverhead cafes, eateries, sports grounds, tennis courts and boat ramp and with Coatesville equally close plus motorway access and Albany Westfield placing wider urban amenities comfortably within reach. This location pairs country freedom and everyday convenience.

With the vendors' move south now set in motion, their motivation to move on means this property will be sold on or before auction day.

This one is not to be missed!

Auction - From 11am, Thu 24 Sep 2026 (unless sold prior)
3 Deans Avenue, Christchurch

Simplicity meets substantial scale at this 6.77ha lifestyle property, where single-level living takes its place amongst spectacular rural scenery.

Well-fenced for grazing and established with shelter, the land draws further character from two natural ponds, including one that is stream-fed, and sweeping outlooks, giving the acreage both purpose and presence. Fenced into five paddocks with stock yards, the property is well-equipped for lifestyle farming.

Solid, low-maintenance brick construction fronts a four-bedroom floor plan of family-sized substance, where a modern interior favours clean lines and feature finishes.

Two living spaces give everyday life room to move, beginning in an open-plan kitchen and lounge, where generous bench space and a movable island let the layout shift from preparation to entertaining. The open-plan design also promotes seamless indoor-outdoor flow to the deck and entertaining areas. The dining room forms the central link between the two living zones, before the formal lounge shifts to a quieter pace, with a bay window bringing natural light and open views. A separate office/workspace provides flexibility for working from home.

A verandah draws the outdoors across the width of the home, stepping up to a sunlit central deck for dining before moving to a patio where a pizza oven puts fireside entertaining on the menu.

The four-bedroom, two-bathroom design elevates the master suite through an en-suite and private outdoor privilege, opening directly to a second deck where the spa pool puts panoramic scenery behind every soak.

Two heat pumps, a log burner and heat-transfer system give comprehensive coverage for comfort, before a separate laundry and raised planters carry the practical detail from indoors to out. The garden includes raised vegetable beds and a variety of established fruit trees, including plum, peach, apple and pear.

The sealed driveway puts a seamless finish on the arrival, with a connected single-car garage and workshop, keeping vehicles securely parked beyond the home.

The location and landscape protect the peace and privacy expected of rural living while keeping Rangiora about 10 minutes away, adding convenience to a spacious and striking lifestyle property designed for the long run. North Loburn School is an easy short walk away for families. Ashley Forest sits on the doorstep for biking and walking, while nearby rivers and swimming holes further enhance the lifestyle appeal.
