This modern family home on a sealed road occupies a private position and enjoys all the merits of countryside living, yet is just a short drive from schools, and the Mandeville shops and amenities.

This contemporary property has been thoughtfully planned to make the most of the available space. Five generously-proportioned bedrooms are complemented by two lovely bathrooms (including an ensuite off the master), while two large well-configured living areas provide plenty of versatility and are bathed in natural light. The kitchen is highly-functional; plus double glazing, HRV and a pellet fire conspire to create a warm and inviting atmosphere, and multiple ranch sliders provide seamless access outside.

The north-facing section plays host to beautifully landscaped gardens, fruit trees, vege patches and a sunny patio area. The large enclosed shed with two doors has a tack room, and there is a two bay barn with stock yards. Three bay stables have a washbay at the end. A jogging track could be re-established in the large paddock. The land is currently leased to a neighbour for stress-free upkeep. Water is supplied from the well.

Although it feels like it's a world away from the hustle and bustle of modern life the property lies just a stone's throw away from the charming township of Rangiora, with all of its boutique shops, bustling cafes and quality amenities. Christchurch airport is 25 minutes away.

This delightful home will appeal to a range of purchasers, including those looking to establish themselves in a quality location, and purchasers drawn to the thriving gardens and the nearby amenities. As a consequence interested parties are advised to proceed with haste - call me now for more information.
