This near new six bedroom (plus office) family home is ideal for the tradespersons (or someone seeking an outdoor project) looking for that special lifestyle block to raise their family in a rural environment yet within easy access to Christchurch, Rangiora, Kaiapoi and Woodend.

This 278 SqM home is set on four hectares, which is divided into two horse paddocks, hay paddock and coral leaving a large expansive area surrounding the house.

The home itself offers a very large open plan living area orientated to the sun and views which opens up to the land via expansive bi fold doors. You can really open this home up to the outdoors and take real advantage of the country lifestyle. Just superb.

The country style kitchen, with views to the horse paddocks, boasts a butlers pantry, Belling stand alone stove, engineered stone bench tops and commanding views across the living room and out to the countryside.

The living room also has a lovely alcove boxed window seat, a great place to relax in the sun. Adjoining the kitchen is a built in computer desk which makes an ideal spot for the family computer.

The large Masport log burner keeps the living toasty warm and is on wetback to the 300-litre mains pressure cylinder, which is also solar heated. A cheap energy source.

Up stairs and out of the way is the large multi functional rumpus room, which is a great place for the kids to hang out, or could serve as another family lounge or be used in an extended family situation. There are many options for this space.

Five of the six bedrooms face out to the pool and all have their own ranch slider leading out to the extensive main patio. This design feature again enhances the indoor/outdoor flow of this home.

Of course the master bedroom has an Ensuite and walk in robe with the other bedrooms being serviced by the main family bathroom.
