Country life, close to town
Deadline Sale (unless sold prior)
1pm, Thu 5 Nov 2026
For the first time, this much-admired property on the edge of Leeston is being offered to the market. Set across approximately four hectares (10 acres), it presents a rare opportunity to enjoy genuine country living without giving up the convenience of town, from the front gate you can simply walk into the heart of Leeston.
For families wanting space to spread out, or farmers ready to downsize while keeping land, sheds and a few animals around them, this is a lifestyle that offers the best of both worlds.
Arrival makes an immediate statement. A sweeping avenue driveway leads through established grounds, past a spectacular line of cherry blossom trees and towards the substantial 325sqm (approx.) home. It is an entrance that changes beautifully with the seasons and sets the tone for what lies beyond.
Inside, the generous proportions make everyday family life easy. Two large living areas and a separate dining room provide plenty of space to come together, entertain or retreat, with the living spaces flowing naturally to the gardens and alfresco entertaining area.
The outdoor fireplace has been well tried and tested, creating a wonderful place for long lunches, summer evenings and gatherings with family and friends.
At the heart of the home, the impressive kitchen combines excellent workspace with modern convenience, anchored by a statement Smeg stove. An office, separate laundry and guest powder room completes the ground floor. Excellent orientation captures all-day sun, while two heat pumps and the ambience of an indoor fireplace provide year-round comfort.
Upstairs, four generously proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms create a private family zone. All bedrooms include wardrobes, while the master suite opens onto a Juliet-style balcony overlooking the blossom trees and established grounds a particularly special outlook when spring arrives.
Outside is where the lifestyle really comes into its own. Five paddocks provide manageable grazing and plenty of scope for a few animals, while a six-bay open shed, modern workshop with automatic garage door, cattle yards and cattle shed mean the practical infrastructure is already here. A transferable irrigation consent adds another valuable dimension to the property.
The mature landscaping is an important part of what makes 194 High Street so special. Rather than starting with bare land and waiting years for trees and gardens to establish, you can move in and immediately enjoy the privacy, shelter and beauty that have already been created.
Substantial without being overwhelming, rural without being remote, this is a lifestyle property that has long caught the eye of those passing by.
Now, for the first time, 194 High Street can be yours, with flexible settlement available to help make the move work for you.
