LIFESTYLE, INCOME POTENTIAL, FAMILY LIVING, 2061m2

Some homes simply exist - others invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and truly live. This home is one of those rare finds.

Positioned in the heart of Waddington on a generous 2,061sqm parcel, this enchanting micro-lifestyle retreat blends country charm, privacy, and versatility in a way that feels both timeless and full of possibility.

Once cherished as a much-loved family home and previously operated as a successful Airbnb and NZMCA Park Over Property, it offers not just a place to live - but a lifestyle to embrace, and even an income stream to explore.

The two-storey home offers 4 bedrooms (or three and an extra lounge) and two bathrooms, thoughtfully configured to suit families, extended living, or guests. The master suite is privately positioned upstairs, creating a peaceful sanctuary, while multiple living spaces provide flexibility for modern life.

At the heart of the home, a warm country-style kitchen with walk-in pantry flows effortlessly to a separate dining room - perfect for long lunches, family dinners, and entertaining. The inviting living room, crowned by a stunning timber cathedral ceiling, is a true standout, while a roaring Woodsman log fire and two heat pumps ensure year-round comfort.

Step outside and the magic continues. Established gardens create a storybook setting, with mature rhododendrons and camellias, fruit trees, productive vegetable plots, and sweeping lawns that invite both relaxation and play. A private courtyard offers the perfect spot for morning coffee or summer evenings with friends, while the fully fenced grounds provide peace of mind for children and pets.

Practicality is well covered with generous garaging (including space for three vehicles), plus a covered area ideal for a caravan or boat - perfectly complementing the lifestyle on offer.

Location completes the picture. With a school bus stop and shelter near the gate, Sheffield Primary School approximately 1km away, and Darfield High School just a 10-minute drive, it's a setting that balances rural tranquillity with everyday convenience. And of course, the famous Sheffield Pies are just minutes down the road. If it's adventure you are after, it's a very scenic 30 minute drive to Lake Lyndon (the first of many lakes in the Arthur's Pass region) for fishing, boating and hikes.

Whether you're seeking a peaceful family haven, a lifestyle with income potential, or simply a place where gardens, space, and serenity take centre stage - this Rupert Street home most definitely delivers.

A home with heart, history, and a future waiting to be written.
