Positioned along a quiet stretch of River Road, this one-hectare block favours lifestyle over labour, with dual dwellings that support family living in all its forms. Surrounded by open rural outlooks, the property maximises peace and privacy, with modern design setting the tone and a self-contained cottage enabling genuine multi-generational living. Streamlined by design in bold black brick, the home's modern profile carries through indoors, where polished concrete flooring and high ceilings form the framework of the open-plan living and dining room. Stainless benchtops, an island, premium appliances and a walk-in pantry give the kitchen its working edge, as a log burner draws focus through winter and doors to the north-facing deck make it the centre of daily living and entertaining for summer. The layout gains another layer of living through a second lounge, so family life can branch into separate but connected spaces. Of the three bedrooms, the master claims the prime position, opening to the deck and pairing space with privacy through its walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, while the family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms with the same level of finish. A separate laundry keeps its function in place, gas hot water and an alarm system cover the practical aspects, and the outdoor shower adds to the home's laid-back liveability. The carpeted internal-access double garage brings added depth and storage overhead, while landscaping has been set in motion, leaving the next owner to carry it through to completion.

Beyond the home, the self-contained cottage includes a quality kitchen, decking, a heat pump, a bathroom and a bedroom with a walk-in robe, giving extended family or long-term guests full independence without losing connection. The large shed brings another dimension of flexibility, offering a log burner, bathroom, and workshop, opening its doors to hands-on use or hobby-driven enjoyment, while a well water supply and storage tank support the property's self-sufficiency. Holding its stance as a rural retreat yet within easy reach of everyday amenities, Tai Tapu township and School are just a short drive away, and Christchurch city centre is around a half an hour commute. This property's appeal lies in its location, layout and land size, set within a tightly held stretch of River Road where homes are rarely relinquished and demand remains constant.
