Contemporary country living, residential zoning

Deadline Sale (unless sold prior)
12pm, Wed 21 Oct 2026

Discover a truly special lifestyle property where modern contemporary design meets the relaxed spirit of the Kiwi countryside.

Set on approximately five acres in the heart of the rural village of Waikari, this architecturally designed home offers a rare combination of space, privacy, productivity and residential zoning - providing genuine flexibility and potential for the future.

Completed in 2010, the home was designed for effortless living, with a focus on functionality, low maintenance and a strong connection between the indoors and outdoors. Fully insulated and featuring double-glazed thermal-break windows, it is designed for year-round comfort, complemented by a log burner on wetback for the cooler months.

A large, sheltered courtyard provides an exceptional outdoor living space - perfect for entertaining, long summer lunches or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

Beyond the home, the established gardens and hazelnut orchard create a productive and picturesque setting, complemented by a variety of mature fruit trees and areas of woodland. The property is fully irrigated, with its own established bore as well as mains water, providing excellent water infrastructure for the extensive grounds and orchard.

Country living with village convenience.

Although the property enjoys a wonderfully peaceful rural feel, it sits right within the heart of Waikari. Waikari Primary School is directly opposite, while the village offers a local medical centre, cafes, garages and practical services, as well as the historic Star Hotel.

The location provides an appealing balance between country and convenience, with Christchurch within easy reach and Hanmer Springs and the wider North Canterbury region close enough to enjoy regularly.

Lifestyle today, potential for tomorrow.

The residential zoning and approximately five-acre landholding add another dimension to this property. Alongside its appeal as an established lifestyle property, it may also attract buyers interested in exploring future development opportunities, subject to council requirements and approvals.

For those looking to downsize from a larger rural property, this offers the opportunity to retain space, gardens, an established orchard and a genuine country lifestyle without taking on a large farm. For families, lifestyle buyers or those looking for a property with room to evolve, the possibilities are equally compelling.

Private, productive and beautifully presented, this is a property that needs to be experienced to be truly appreciated.

Live, Grow, Thrive

How do you like them apples?

Because if you like ‘em – and you’re also looking for somewhere to build – then here’s one hell of an opportunity.

This well positioned and very productive 7-and-a-half-hectare organic apple orchard comes serviced, with both power and domestic water, allowing someone to build a home as well as make a living.

Certified organic, the orchard boasts 12,485 Galaxy, Fuji, and Jazz trees, which were planted in either 2008 or 2018. If orcharding isn’t your jam, the existing owners, and their team, will manage the entire operation for you - from the fruit on the trees – to the markets overseas.

The orchard also offers plenty of reliable water through the Earnscleugh Irrigation Company, an irrigation pond, a track, a storage shed, garage, and pump shed.

Situated just 4 kilometres from historic Clyde, with magnificent views of the often-snowcapped Dunstan Ranges, this Central Otago property would make a great place to live, grow, and thrive.

EXECUTIVE LIFESTYLE LIVING

Having thoroughly enjoyed designing and building their dream home, our vendors now reluctantly offer this magnificent, custom-built GJ Gardner executive residence to the market. Completed just two years ago and set on approximately two acres, this exceptional property enjoys a peaceful rural setting just minutes east of Inglewood. Boasting a striking black brick exterior complemented by feature vertical cladding, this contemporary home makes an impressive first impression.

Step through the welcoming entrance and immediately appreciate the carefully considered design, with picturesque views across neighbouring farmland creating a sense of space and tranquillity.

At the heart of the home is the impressive open-plan living area, featuring a soaring atrium-style ceiling that enhances both light and space. Feature apex windows frame stunning views from the kitchen towards the region's iconic mountain, while the dining area enjoys a beautiful rural outlook across surrounding farmland.

The stylish kitchen showcases a striking dark benchtop paired with crisp white cabinetry, a generous scullery, and an array of thoughtfully integrated features, including a convenient cooling drawer.

Designed with modern family living in mind, the home offers exceptional storage solutions throughout and a designated office nook.

The spacious master suite provides a private retreat, complete with a walk-through wardrobe, elegant ensuite, and direct access to its own patio area. Additional accommodation includes three generously sized bedrooms, plus adjoining the garage is an expansive man cave, 5th bedroom or workshop space, thoughtfully future-proofed with pre-plumbing. This versatile area offers excellent potential for conversion into a self-contained studio, home office, or hobby room, with separate access via a ranch slider on the western side of the home.

Further enhancing the property's appeal, the vendors have invested in solar panels that supply power directly to the grid, providing both environmental and long-term economic benefits.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a near-new executive lifestyle property where quality craftsmanship, contemporary design, and rural tranquillity come together seamlessly.
Adjoining additional land could be purchased if desired.

Lifestyle & location

For sale by Deadline Sale, closing 1pm, Wed 11 Nov 2026 (unless sold prior) Bayleys, 49 Manchester Street, Feilding.

Five kilometres from the centre of Feilding, this is country living without the commute. Set on 8,000sqm (more or less) of flat land, the modern four-bedroom home looks out across the surrounding farmland to the hills beyond.

Built in 2014, the home has two living areas, giving everyone room to spread out, and an open-plan kitchen and dining room that flows out to the deck. A heat pump and wood burner keep things warm through the winter months. The master has its own ensuite and a slider out to the deck, with a main bathroom with shower and bath serving the rest of the home.

Outside, a generous deck gives plenty of room for outdoor dining and entertaining. Mature hedging keeps it private, and an established orchard and vegetable garden sit within the grounds.

Adding to the appeal is a new clearspan pole shed with a concrete floor and lockup, as well as an internal access garage.

Makino Road remains one of Feilding's most popular lifestyle addresses, close to schools and shops. Contact Jack or Mark Monckton for further information.
