| |  Springston is a small rural township 20 minutes south of Christchurch CBD and 3 minutes from Lincoln University; New Zealand’s third oldest university specialising in golf, business &
management, computing, social-science, agriculture, science and biosciences, parks, recreation, tourism & sport, design, and environmental management. Golfing students benefit from superb training facilities at Lincoln University and they get to work with some of the top coaches in the region. Springston is part of the Selwyn District which has one of the lowest crime rates in New Zealand and is drier and sunnier than most parts of
the country encouraging Mediterranean-style crops and a blossoming wine and restaurant industry. It is home to a historic primary school, a number of charming historic buildings, and the Springston Hotel (famous for its TV show: The Rabbiter’s Rest). About 55% of the population live on farms or rural lifestyle blocks. The overall area has 22 primary schools, 3 secondary schools, 1 university and nearly half of all main income earners commute to Christchurch for work.

|  This gorgeous north-facing executive lifestyle property has unmatched privacy and spectacular views of the Port hills and mountain ranges. It sits
behind automatic steel gates at the end of a long driveway positioned in an exclusive rural pocket between two existing residential zones. The property (completed 2005) is finished with Rockcote plaster over brick (the preferred choice) and only top quality building materials have been used. Impressive double-height entrance doors open to a large Italian tiled foyer. The formal lounge has an exterior wall of bi-folds opening onto expansive decks for indoor/outdoor
living. A separate formal dining room links to the lounge and looks into the established gardens. The property has 4 double bedrooms (3 downstairs with own bathroom) and a large private master bedroom with its own balcony and bathroom. A mezzanine home office with wireless high-speed internet faces the hills and interconnects to a large mirrored fitness studio, full-sized billiard room, home theatre or 5th bedroom. In winter the central log fire roars with an endless supply of
kindling from the property's own trees.
| |  The property overlooks expansive farmland which can never be built out on (as rare as hens teeth!) and
there’s a nature walk on the boundary. This truly is a unique opportunity because privacy can be retained. The gardens are fully-established & irrigated. There’s a variety of areas to enjoy a BBQ or read a book under one of the large trees. The in-ground pool looks across neighbouring farmland and there’s a huge tar seal area inside the automatic gates for endless playing options for children. There are two fully fenced paddocks with water troughs, a pony shelter, an outdoor dog
run and an indoor/outdoor cat house. The property has an artesian water-well, garden and security lighting and an alarm system. The land size is 2.5 acres (10,000 square metres) and close to 1.5 acres are in easy-care paddocks. This property is ideal for retired farmers wanting a farm outlook without the work or a family wanting sophistication, space, privacy and pets.
