Entry level lifestyle

Deadline Sale (unless sold prior) 2pm, Tue 28 Apr 2026

Set on 4 hectares (approx.) in a peaceful country setting, this entry-level lifestyle property offers the kind of quiet rural living that the current owners have loved since purchasing it in January 1997. A change in circumstances now brings this much-loved property to the market, creating an exciting opportunity for renovators, lifestyle buyers, or those searching for their next home with space to grow.


The home is a charming wooden cottage with plenty of character and potential. Inside, there are two bedrooms, one bathroom with a shower, an open plan kitchen and dining area, and a separate lounge that provides a comfortable place to relax. The kitchen has already had some updating, while still leaving room for further improvement. A log burner adds warmth through the cooler months, and a separate laundry adds everyday practicality.

Flowing off the lounge is a covered deck, a great spot to unwind and take in the peace and quiet. Outside, the property is well set up for those wanting space and functionality. There is a sleepout with power, a greenhouse, tunnel house, planter boxes, a single garage, and a range of practical shedding. The main four-bay shed provides useful covered space, and at the end is a small shearing shed with its own covered yard. In addition, there are two more two-bay sheds, offering storage for vehicles, equipment, or lifestyle needs.

This is a property that will appeal to buyers who can see the value in a good, honest lifestyle block with plenty of opportunity to add value over time. With Leeston just a short drive away, and Rolleston, Lincoln, and Hornby all within easy reach, you can enjoy the benefits of country living without feeling isolated. Schooling is well catered for with Leeston Primary School and Ellesmere College nearby.
