Lifestyle, land and location

Tender closing 1pm, Wed 26 Nov 2025

Occupying four hectares across from Prestons Park, this property delivers genuine lifestyle living just fifteen minutes from the central city.

Currently zoned Rural Urban Fringe and bordered by residential land on two sides, the property remains safeguarded as a city-side estate, yet any future zoning shifts would position it as a strategic land banking opportunity for investors with an eye to the city’s growth.

Settled among established trees and sweeping lawns, the two-level bungalow sits naturally within the landscape, defined by its classic lines and countryside character.

Its traditional framework of timber panelling, leadlights, and a fireplace remains intact, supported by a new roof, refreshed kitchen and modernised bathroom, where white subway tiles and chequerboard parquet flooring bring contemporary continuity to the design.

Post-earthquake works have included pile reinforcement and ground raising across the property, securing both stability and longevity.

The 223sqm layout favours family life and entertaining, with social spaces flowing naturally to the expansive Kwila deck that draws views across the wraparound lawn and shelter belt.

The ground floor centres on two living areas and the modernised kitchen, complemented by a laundry, foyer, and guest toilet, while the upper level gathers three bedrooms, a sunroom or single, a refreshed bathroom, plus a separate toilet.

Beyond the home, the property is fully equipped for lifestyle pursuits, with four-car garaging, horse stables, stock shelters and multiple utility sheds.

At the rear, the grounds overlook a council-owned wetland alive with ponds and birdlife, adding depth and dimension to the surroundings.

With easy access to schooling, recreation and local amenities, this is a lifestyle address defined by balance, where country outlooks meet city connection, its near-48-year ownership a measure of both permanence and possibility.
