Set on 4.9350 hectares (more or less) of rolling countryside, this exceptional lifestyle property captures sweeping mountain and river views from virtually every vantage point. Elevated and private, the outlook here is nothing short of breathtaking.

The warm and character-filled Lockwood home is defined by striking high vaulted ceilings. The open-plan kitchen and dining area flow seamlessly into a generous living room, where expansive windows perfectly frame the countryside views. From here, doors open directly onto the balcony and deck that overlook the expansive lawns and elevated views.

At the heart of the kitchen sits a German-imported Wamsler wood/coal range on wetback, adding both character and practicality, while a separate woodfire in the lounge creates a cosy ambience.

Accommodation comprises three bedrooms (two doubles and one single), including a master suite complete with ensuite and walk-in robe. The main bathroom is well-appointed with a spa bath, separate shower and vanity, alongside a separate toilet for added convenience. A dedicated laundry, exceptional storage throughout, and double garaging beneath the home further enhance the functionality of everyday use.

Outside, sweeping lawns and mature gardens surround the home, while a gully lined with established trees runs through the property. Two natural springs remain present on the land, and fencing is a mix of post and waratah with seven wire and some electric outriggers.

To add to the lifestyle dream there is a glasshouse, fruit trees and a chicken coop, expansive lawns and established gardens. Serviced by mains water supply at 1 unit per day (1,800L/day), the property offers rural living without sacrificing practicality.

Perfectly positioned just a few minutes from Waiau township and within easy reach of Culverden, Hanmer Springs and Kaikoura. This location also places Christchurch under two hours away for a convenient commute. The area is renowned for its outstanding outdoor lifestyle, with tramping, hunting, fishing, skiing and mountain biking, making it an ideal base for year round adventure.

Whether you're seeking a peaceful lifestyle retreat, room for grazing, or simply space to breathe with unforgettable views, this is a property that delivers on scale, setting and potential.
