We've found gold in Kainga!!

Secure a perfect balance of peace, nature, and convenience with this 546sqm (approx.) elevated section in the increasingly sought-after township of Kainga-a location treasured for its quiet charm and semi-rural character. COPY & PASTE THIS LINK FOR REPORTS: https://vltre.co/Bd7ZTv

Once a tiny settlement, Kainga's population has grown in recent years, yet it has retained the qualities that make it special: a close-knit atmosphere, an easy pace of life, and an appealing "village-meets-rural-edge" feel. Positioned on the southern bank of the Waimakariri River, the area offers a sense of space and serenity rarely found this close to Christchurch.

The section itself enjoys an elevated aspect, capturing light and views while offering a sense of privacy. Bordering a small forest/plantation, the property feels immersed in nature-ideal for those who love greenery, birdlife, and a peaceful environment. With river access and natural open spaces nearby, this is a superb spot for anyone who values outdoor living, scenic walks, or simply being close to the water.

Despite its tranquillity, Kainga is far from isolated. Located just south of Kaiapoi, you are close enough to enjoy supermarkets, cafes, schools, and day-to-day amenities, all while still benefitting from a quiet, low-density lifestyle. Many locals use Kainga as an easy commuter base, with Christchurch and surrounding towns conveniently accessible.

With its small-town feel, open surroundings, and genuine sense of escape from city bustle, Kainga offers a rare chance to build in a location that is both calming and connected.

Both town supply water and waste to the boundary.

A Unique Dual-Purchase Opportunity!

The house next door (169 Kainga Road) is also for sale from the same owner-offered separately but presenting an exceptional chance to buy one or buy both.

Could your family capitalise on this opportunity?

Perfect for blended families, grandparents, relatives considering building a multi-dwelling setup, the pairing of a home plus an adjoining section unlocks possibilities rarely available in such a desirable location.

Build, expand, invest, or bring family closer together-the choice is yours.
