22 Baxters Road, Waipara, Hurunui, Canterbury, 7483, New Zealand
Offering a little bit of France in Waipara wine country – stunning views, 180 truffle inoculated trees (approx.) and beautiful French provincial style are offered in abundance at this superb lifestyle property in the sought-after area of Waipara. Nestled perfectly for peace and quiet, this stunning property enjoys a location less than a one-hour drive to the Christchurch city centre. Set on 4.8 hectares this timeless four-bedroom home was lovingly thought out by our owner with inspiration from a house in Lalinde (in the South of France) and it was bought to life by architectural designer Warren Sheddan. It is soundly built from Firth Manor stone with European tilt-and-turn double glazed UPVC joinery. Entrance to the home is through ornate French doors from Paris and once inside an understated colour palette lends a rustic ambience. Spread over 284sqms the floor plan offers plenty of space for family and guests. The open-plan kitchen/dining and formal lounge (with jet-master open fire) open to the outdoors through a series of French doors where a north-facing outdoor area awaits for alfresco entertaining. Oozing with sophistication, the beautifully appointed kitchen is the hub of this home and features plenty of storage and a walk-in pantry. The master suite hosts a walk-in robe and an exquisite ensuite. The family bathroom is an absolute delight with an eye-catching imported vanity adding to the French feeling. Versatility is offered with the second, one bedroom dwelling with its own little courtyard garden. There is an adjoining garage. Our current owner utilised this as an Airbnb but it could be perfect for guest or, extended family. The grounds are relatively easy-care and our owner advises that truffle trees are nearing production and offer savvy buyers a huge opportunity. Enhance or just enjoy the generous swathes of lawn which provides a lush backdrop. There are plenty of options on offer for buyers seeking the rural experience. This appealing proposition is offered to the market for genuine sale.
