A peaceful and private paradise with incredible views out to the mountains, this big and beautiful lifestyle block and immaculate family home is in a league of its own.

Accessed via a private driveway and surrounded by beautiful Canterbury pastures, inside this property you'll find a large entrance-way, five bedrooms (master with ensuite and walk in robe), a separate laundry, and a spacious separate living area with sliding doors out to the patio and overlooking the paddocks, plus a stunning log burner to keep you cosy in winter.

The huge open plan living area is the free-flowing hub of the home well-suited to family life. Large picture windows and sliding doors make for a warm and sunny space in summer with wonderful outlooks, while the heat pump is there for cooler months. The modern kitchen with built-in oven, separate cooktop, range hood, dishwasher and breakfast bar is positioned perfectly, so you can keep one eye on the dinner and the other on the children.

Outside, there are patios/entertainment areas on two sides of the property, so you can follow the sun around on social occasions. The beautifully manicured gardens that surround the property impress with a vegetable garden, an orchard, a space to grow berries, plus a huge lawn and that's just the garden! Beyond the poplar trees and fencing, there are 4 paddocks, a private back block, and some small sheep yards for your holding, while a large garage with internal access (6.9x6.5) offers weather-tight storage or a homely space for your hobbies.

Located just 2km away from Darfield town centre, the handy local shops, cafes and schools are so easy to reach, whether you're walking or driving.
