Your own private slice of country life
Privately tucked away behind established gardens, 113 Temuka-Orari Highway is one of those properties that reveals more with every step. From the beautifully presented home and sprawling gardens to the impressive garaging, Tesla solar system and space to live a little more self-sufficiently, there is so much here to discover.
The established grounds are a real highlight. Exotic and native plantings create privacy and colour, while generous vegetable gardens and fruit trees, including apple, pear, grapefruit, apricot, and plums not to mention strawberries, blueberries and raspberries provide plenty for the table. There's room for chickens, perhaps a pet lamb or two, and the fully fenced section provides a secure environment for children and pets.
At the heart of it all is a warm and inviting family home, renovated to a high standard and immaculately presented. The kitchen connects effortlessly with the dining and family area, creating a relaxed hub for everyday living, while the generous deck extends the living outdoors and provides a wonderful spot for entertaining.
Comfort has been well considered, with new thermal backed curtains throughout, large log burner, heat pump, full insulation, gas hot water and a state of the art Tesla solar system generating 7000kWh per year (which is the exact national average for a standard New Zealand household) The home has also been rewired, replumbed, features new carpet, new vinyl flooring, new oven and gas cooktop and the exterior is finished in Rockcote.
The bedrooms are generously proportioned, complemented by a recently renovated spacious family bathroom, separate toilet and large laundry. Adding even more flexibility is a fourth bedroom or office positioned beside the double garage, ideal for working from home, teenagers, hobbies or additional accommodation.
For anyone needing vehicles or a home gym, storage or workshop space, this property really delivers. The renovated double garage is fully lined and insulated, rewired with new plugs, lighting and fully carpeted. A separate single garage with adjoining carport, provide plenty of storage for firewood and garden equipment complete an impressive package.
Despite its private, semi rural feel, Winchester offers wonderful convenience. The local primary school and cafes are nearby, both Timaru and Geraldine are within easy commuting distance while Christchurch international airport is only an hour and a half away.
Beautifully established, exceptionally practical and offering a lifestyle that's increasingly hard to find, the hard work has been done. All that's left is to make it yours.
