Astute buyers already know that land is real estate gold, and those with vision will see the huge potential here. Maybe you're a builder, bach hunter, whitebaiter or first home buyer? Or maybe it's the nature vibe that hits the spot. Whatever the motive, this property is expected to appeal to a diverse range of purchasers, for a variety of reasons.

Built in the 1980's, this two bedroom dwelling with open plan living is a blank canvas, which could be transformed into whatever you make it - already installed is the peace and tranquillity! Yes, some work would enhance, but with the Waimakariri river a stone's throw away and Riverlea Estate Reserve directly opposite, this could prove to be a wise investment. Take your cuppa, sit in the reserve and listen to the birdsong, it's peace at its purest!

A touch of landscaping could transform the bare section and there's plenty of room for extra vehicles or developing gardening, or other projects. There's a single garage onsite and a carport too.

Kainga has come into its own of late, as buyers realise it's only an 8 minute drive to Northwood and the motorway provides fast access to Kaiapoi and beyond. So, bring your kayak, fishing road, dirt bike and paint brush! This property is for serious sale, so call me!
