Property Description

Set across 4.04 hectares in the Swannanoa countryside, this distinguished Hurst Seager residence - aptly named "The Crossing" - is a rare offering where architectural heritage and contemporary refinement exist in complete harmony.

Beyond electric gates, manicured grounds unfold, immediately signalling the calibre of care and consideration that defines the estate. The original architectural integrity remains unmistakably intact, while a comprehensive renovation has seamlessly introduced modern comfort into this timeless framework.

Classic in profile and rich in character, the home's heritage has been meticulously honoured. Significant upgrades including double glazing, full insulation, underfloor heating, a wood burner and gas fire ensure year-round comfort, delivering the ease and assurance expected of contemporary country living.

The main house offers a thoughtfully enhanced three-bedroom, two-bathroom layout that seamlessly balances elegance with everyday functionality. The master suite is privately positioned, complete with an en-suite and walk-in wardrobe, while a separate laundry strengthens everyday practicality.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen makes a confident statement with its striking black granite island - a sophisticated counterpoint to the home's clean architectural lines. The adjoining dining space is anchored by a classic mantelpiece and gas fire, while the open-plan living area invites relaxation, with a bay window seat framing tranquil garden views and a fireside ingle nook offering a quiet retreat.

Sliding timber doors reveal a second, more intimate living room, mirroring the home's original detailing and connecting to a light-filled sunroom - an ideal family space. Outdoors, expansive decking and a pergola-covered terrace extend the living areas, with an outdoor fire creating an inviting setting that transitions effortlessly from relaxed afternoons to memorable evenings.

Beyond the main residence, a beautifully restored cricket pavilion echoes the home's architectural language and provides a charming space for entertaining or unwinding while overlooking the grounds. A separate, fully modernised cottage studio - complete with WC and kitchenette - offers exceptional flexibility as guest accommodation, a home office, or a private retreat for extended family.

The grounds are as impressive as the residence itself. Structured yet generous in scale, they feature sweeping lawns, sculpted pathways, established hedging and flourishing flower gardens. For those seeking self-sufficiency, vegetable gardens, three glasshouses and two garden sheds provide extensive infrastructure. Supporting the lifestyle offering is triple-car garaging, a three-bay implement shed with substantial workshop and three-phase power, along with sheltered paddocks complete with post-and-rail fencing, water troughs and sheep yards.

Positioned close to the Waimakariri River and just 20 minutes from the city, this is a masterfully modernised Hurst Seager home - meticulously maintained, thoughtfully evolved, and ready to deliver an exceptional standard of contemporary country living.
