The country villa

An elegant villa facade, with the heart and soul of a country retreat. Welcome to 24 Riccarton Road, East Taieri, where summer evenings linger, winter nights are spent fireside, and home feels like a sanctuary.

Set on a beautifully established 1,240sqm section, this gorgeous villa has been lovingly renovated and extended by its current owners, creating a home that celebrates its original character while embracing relaxed, easy family living.

From the street, the classic villa facade makes an immediate impression. Framed by established hedging, a traditional veranda and beautiful detailing, there is wonderful street appeal and a sense of privacy before you have even stepped through the front door.

Inside, a wide central hallway sets the tone, with soaring ceilings, beautiful timber detailing and a confident use of colour giving the home a personality all of its own.

To the left, the master bedroom is rich and restful, with a gorgeous deep green palette, walk-in wardrobe and private ensuite with tiled flooring. Directly across the hallway, a beautiful guest bedroom enjoys the afternoon sun, with French doors opening onto the veranda and garden beyond.

Continuing down the hallway, the third double bedroom sits on the same side as the master, while directly opposite is the gorgeous formal lounge.

Beautifully styled and anchored by a wood burner, this is a room made for slowing down, the perfect place to sit with a cup of tea or a stiff drink and reflect on the day in complete comfort. A door provides another easy connection outdoors.

At the end of the hallway, the home opens into a beautiful open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, thoughtfully extended by the current owners to create a wonderfully relaxed hub for everyday living. Two sets of doors provide an easy connection outdoors, opening onto the private deck, garden and sitting areas beyond.

The country-style kitchen is a real showpiece. Warm timber cabinetry, dark stone benchtops and a substantial central island create a natural gathering place, the sort of kitchen everyone inevitably gravitates towards. Morning coffees, family catch-ups, glasses of prosecco and G&Ts are all very much at home here. And when the gin comes out, don't forget to grab a lemon from the garden.

Behind the kitchen, a cleverly designed walk-in scullery and storage area incorporates the laundry, keeping the practical side of everyday life neatly tucked away.

A character-filled family bathroom offers both a shower and beautiful freestanding bath, with underfloor heating adding a little everyday luxury.

The extended part of the home is double glazed, while year-round comfort is well catered for with two heat pumps, the wood burner, substantial insulation and gas hot water. The Colorsteel roof is approximately nine years old, adding another welcome update to this beautifully cared-for home.

Outside is where the country-retreat feeling really comes to life. The 1,240sqm grounds are fully fenced with established gardens, mature hedging, generous lawn and a collection of private sitting areas, plenty of space for children, pets, entertaining, gardening or simply enjoying the sunshine.

A single garage with workshop space provides excellent storage, complemented by generous off-street parking down the driveway and into the backyard.

With approximately 164sqm of beautifully considered living, this is a home with real heart. Bold colours sit effortlessly alongside warm timber, beautiful high ceilings and original villa character, while sunlight streams into the living spaces and the connection with the garden gives the home its relaxed country feel.

Our downsizing and relocating vendors will be incredibly sad to say goodbye to the family retreat they have created here. Their hope is simply that the next owners will love it every bit as much as they have.

Welcome to The Country Villa, character in its bones, country living at its heart, and a wonderful sense of home from the moment you arrive.
