26 Torlesse Road West Melton, Selwyn District

Set privately on approximately four hectares in one of West Melton's highly sought-after lifestyle locations, a property that offers far more than just a beautiful home. With generous grounds, versatile additional accommodation, dedicated workspaces and established outdoor surroundings, this is an exceptional opportunity for families looking for space, privacy and flexibility without sacrificing convenience.

From the moment you arrive through the automatic gates, there is an immediate sense of privacy and sophistication. The beautifully established grounds create a picturesque setting around the home, providing the perfect backdrop for relaxed family living, entertaining and enjoying the freedom that comes with a substantial lifestyle property.

Inside, the 305sqm residence has been thoughtfully designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind. A generous entranceway with skylights creates a light and welcoming first impression, while the stylish kitchen forms the heart of the home. Featuring composite benchtops, a large island bar, quality white-oak veneer joinery and a walk-in pantry concealed behind dramatic black sliding doors, it is both practical and beautifully appointed.

The kitchen flows naturally through to the dining and living areas, with doors opening directly outdoors for easy entertaining. A separate lounge provides an additional space for relaxing, while the adjoining library or office gives flexibility for working from home, studying or creating a quiet retreat.

Five bedrooms provide plenty of accommodation for the family, with the master suite enjoying its own walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. The home also includes a well-appointed laundry, double internal-access garaging and excellent heating throughout, with gas fires servicing the main living spaces and gas-fired radiators providing warmth to the bedrooms.

But it is outside where the possibilities really begin.

The established grounds offer an enviable lifestyle environment, with space for children, pets, gardens and outdoor entertaining. A substantial vegetable garden encourages a degree of self-sufficiency, while the garden shed provides practical storage. The property also includes post-and-wire boundary fencing, a two-bay lean-to and a chicken shed and run.

Adding another dimension to this already impressive property is the separate two-storey barn. Privately positioned away from the main residence, it provides genuine additional accommodation with its own lounge, kitchen, bedroom with double wardrobe and ensuite upstairs, together with a laundry, shower and toilet downstairs.

Whether you are looking for space for extended family, guests, teenagers or simply an independent retreat, this additional accommodation offers options that are increasingly difficult to find.

There is also a separate office with two entrances and a workshop, creating an ideal setup for those wanting to operate a business from home while maintaining separation between work and family life.

For those looking for lifestyle productivity, the property has historically included approximately 850 walnut trees and an irrigation consent, adding another potential dimension to the land. These features, together with the generous four-hectare holding, provide an appealing combination of lifestyle enjoyment and productive potential.

Located in the heart of West Melton's desirable lifestyle environment, you can enjoy the peace and privacy of rural living while remaining within easy reach of West Melton's amenities, schools and Christchurch.

Properties offering this level of accommodation, land, privacy and versatility are becoming increasingly hard to find.
