A Proper Lifestyle Block with Real Utility

Set across two hectares of flat Canterbury land, this lifestyle dwelling delivers the kind of breathing room that’s becoming harder to find. With a 143m² home, extensive, lockable garaging, (200m² plus) and wide open surrounds, this is rural living at its best, practical, private and impressive.Inside, the home unfolds into open-plan living, dining and kitchen zones that connect easily and feel grounded. Timber floors add warmth underfoot, while large windows pull in natural light and frame those uninterrupted green outlooks. A wood burner anchors the living area and creates a cosy hub through the cooler months, complemented by the easy flow into adjoining spaces.Four bedrooms provide flexibility for families, also an office for work-from-home needs, supported by a bathroom and a layout that keeps daily life simple and functional. There’s a separate laundry, with toilet number two, to keep things organised, and neutral interiors throughout that offer a clean canvas to make your own.Step outside and the lifestyle element truly comes into its own. The wraparound decking stretches along the home, offering sheltered spots for morning coffee or long evenings looking out across your land. The property is framed by established shelter belts and mature hedging, creating a sense of privacy without closing off the landscape.For those who value storage, projects or business potential, the garaging here is a standout. With extensive shedding and multiple garages, there’s room for vehicles, tools, machinery or hobbies on a serious scale. Whether it’s cars, boats, farming gear or a workshop setup, this property is ready to accommodate it.Located just outside Rakaia township, you’re within easy reach of local shops, cafés, the river and essential amenities, with Ashburton an easy drive for schooling, services and larger retail. This is a scenic lifestyle opportunity that balances open land, everyday comfort and real utility.Get in touch with Manu Otene to arrange your viewing.
