Where Family Traditions Begin

There is something quietly special about properties that have been designed not just to impress, but to accommodate a full life.

227 Bell Road has been a place of gathering. A home where friends and family naturally gravitate, where celebrations spill from indoors to out, and where there is always room for one more guest around the table. Set across more than four hectares with views stretching towards Mount Pirongia and Kakepuku, it's easy to understand why.

Arriving home feels special The circular driveway winds its way through established grounds before revealing a substantial residence positioned to embrace the surrounding landscape. While the scale of the home immediately commands attention, what stays with you is the warmth. This is a home that feels lived in, loved and deeply connected to its surroundings.

Built in 2004 with a clear appreciation for craftsmanship, native timbers feature throughout. Cedar entrance doors make a memorable first impression, while Rimu joinery, Kauri internal doors and Matai flooring add texture, character and a sense of permanence that is increasingly difficult to find.

The home has been thoughtfully configured for both family life and entertaining. Four generous bedrooms each enjoy their own ensuite, offering privacy and independence for family members and guests. A dedicated office provides flexibility for those working from home (or a fifth bedroom, if required), while a separate powder room and additional bathroom ensure the home caters effortlessly to larger gatherings.

One of the property's most charming features is its relationship with the outdoors. Upstairs, wrap-around verandahs connect with the bedrooms, each one opening directly outside. It's the sort of home where doors are left open in summer, where morning coffee is enjoyed with a view, and where the changing landscape becomes part of everyday life.

The seasons each bring their own rhythm. In winter, the two woodburners become the heart of the home, drawing people together after a day spent outdoors. In the warmer months, life naturally centres around the pool. Children will spend entire afternoons in the water, adults will linger over long lunches, and evenings seem to stretch a little longer as the sun sets across the countryside.

Beyond the home itself, the established grounds continue to impress. A collection of mature citrus and fruit trees, including two substantial avocado trees, provides both beauty and bounty, adding another layer to the authentic lifestyle appeal of the property.
For those seeking a true lifestyle property, the infrastructure is already here. Multiple paddocks, cattle yards, implement shedding and well-fenced grazing land offer endless possibilities, whether you're running stock, keeping horses, or simply enjoying the freedom that comes with having space around you.

And then there's the tiny home.

Tucked away from the main residence, it opens the door to so many opportunities. Whether it's a place for extended family, independent accommodation for teenagers, a work-from-home retreat, or perhaps an Airbnb or boutique glamping experience, it's easy to see guests falling in love with the same rural outlook and peaceful surroundings that make this property so special. Note: The Tiny Home will be sold ‘as is where is’.

This is the sort of home where Christmases are hosted, summers are remembered, and families gather for years to come. A property with presence, personality and room to dream a little bigger. In a world where experiences matter more than ever, this is the sort of property that encourages people to stay a little longer, slow down a little more and enjoy everything that countryside living has to offer.

The long view on larger lifestyle

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.
