Live the 8 Acre Dream

If you thought that a quality home, views to die for, and 8 acres only 5 mins from Cashmere were just a dream, then it might pay to pinch yourself. This property is a rare and unbelievable combination of rural space, and living so close to the city.

Sitting majestically above the city below, yet firmly entrenched in the surrounding land, is a spacious 4 bedroom architecturally designed home, with additional private self contained studio. As soon as you drive in, the space and clever planning is revealed in a well thought out design. Ample off street parking and a large double internal access garage lead to a light and spacious central reception area. One wing of the house accommodates the 4 bedrooms, with 2 of them boasting large ensuites and all with generous wardrobes. Every bedroom has unique and expansive views, which evolve from rural to city as you move around the house. The master bedroom overlooks Christchurch and frames what is an ever changing and invigorating vista. Below the bedrooms, with separate access and courtyard is a large studio, with its own bathroom and great storage. Ideal as guest accommodation or a work from home setup, this area adds so many options.

The spacious kitchen, living and dining rooms with a huge new log burner, once again open up on all sides to views that need to be experienced to be believed. Sliding doors from the living room lead to an elevated Kwila deck that makes entertaining above the city lights a pure joy. Storage has been well considered, and there are multiple options for conversion to office space.
Established gardens surrounding the home are vibrant and full of life, and mirror the pleasure of being part of this landscape. Fruit trees including apricots, olives, peaches, apples and figs are also home to a wide array of birdlife, with both natives and species such as Kingfisher thriving in the secluded microclimate.

The surrounding land, close to 8 acres, is a prize in itself. The sloping north facing paddocks not only have great subdivision potential, but the possibilities for a hobby farm or even viticulture abound. Within walking distance to nearby suburbs of Cashmere and Westmorland, chunks of land like this are almost unheard of. The value of this land can only be defined by the imagination of its owners.

Viewing in person is essential to properly put the wonder of this property into perspective, and understand the scale of the opportunities it presents. Contact Joy Butel promptly to experience your future.
