Set at the end of a long, private driveway in one of Ohoka’s most coveted pockets, is a lifestyle estate people wait years to find - architecturally refined, deeply peaceful and completely set up for modern country living.

Light pours into the expansive open-plan living and dining spaces, where schist accents, timber flooring and a wood burner create a lodge-like warmth. The chef’s kitchen, complete with a generous walk-in pantry, anchors the heart of the home with three large sliders opening out to a wide courtyard and substantial decking. With two louvred outdoor zones, the space works beautifully year-round.

Accommodation has been designed with both comfort and flexibility in mind. Three well-proportioned bedrooms, a study, and two stylish bathrooms complete the main residence, with a double attached garage set between the main home is a fully self-contained one-bedroom flat that offers incredible versatility. Whether used for extended family, independent teens, Airbnb guests or extra income is a huge plus.

The grounds read like a private nature reserve, with 4.21 hectares of established landscaping, winding pathways, mature trees and pond vistas. A creek runs alongside the property with its charming “feed the eels” spot, while orchards, nut trees, extensive feijoa plantings and large hot house enable self-sufficiency. Additional infrastructure, including a two-bay lock-up shed with adjoining man-cave space, a three-bay hay and storage shed, cattle yards with loading ramp, and an electronic gate, ensures the property functions as beautifully as it presents.

Ohoka continues to rank among Canterbury’s premier lifestyle locations for its blend of tranquillity, community and connection. From here, you are moments from local markets, school routes, boutique stores and Rangiora’s full suite of amenities, with Christchurch an easy commute when needed. What you come home to, however, is something altogether exceptional.
