260 Prestons Road Marshland, Christchurch City

If you're looking for an urban paradise but don't want to drive miles to get there, then this is an opportunity not to be missed. You can have the best of both worlds, rural living with all it offers, in a location close to shops, transport and schools. Tucked away from the road in a discreet position, you can leave busy life at the gate and drive into your own private haven set on 2.127 hectares. A four bay lockable storage shed is the ultimate man cave where you can store all the boy toys, the boat or caravan with plenty more off street parking. Fenced paddocks means you can run your own stock, greenhouses provide space for growing your food and established veggie gardens will provide new potatoes for the Christmas dinner table.

The home itself is well designed for entertaining with a designer kitchen and scullery, open plan dining/living and a compliant wood burner to create warmth and ambiance in winter. An adjacent separate lounge is the perfect hideaway for watching the rugby, movies or a space for the kids to watch what they want while you entertain in the family area. Four double bedrooms and an office (or fifth bedroom) provide space for large families or guests with the master bedroom having its own ensuite, walk-in-robe and heat pump.

So if you've always dreamed of an urban self-sufficient lifestyle, then this home is a must see. A move North dictates that this home must be sold! LIM, Title and builders' report available.
