Position, views and convenience

Perfectly positioned just minute's walk from the heart of Methven, this unique two-storey home offers easy access to supermarkets, restaurants, cafes and everything the township has to offer.

Set on approximately 578sqm (more or less), this is a low-maintenance, lock-and-leave property with an easy-care Colorsteel exterior and minimal grounds to maintain - making it an ideal permanent residence, holiday home or investment in the heart of Methven.

What truly sets this home apart is the upstairs living space and its breathtaking outlook. From the kitchen window, across the dining area and through the large sliding doors opening from the living room, uninterrupted mountain views take centre stage. Outside the patio has views that would be hard to beat.

The 144sqm (more or less) home offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms across two levels, providing excellent flexibility for family and guests. Two of the downstairs bedrooms feature sliding doors opening directly onto the sheltered patio, a sunny outdoor space that enjoys afternoon sun. The third bedroom and bathroom are conveniently located upstairs, offering further privacy and versatility.

With three bedrooms and three bathrooms, this is the perfect home-away-from-home for entertaining family and friends, while also providing excellent options for those wanting additional space to work from home. Storage is well catered for, with a practical laundry and storage area featuring a large overhead door, along with the added benefit of a substantial shed. There is also ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles.

The outdoor area is ready for its new owners to make their mark. Create your own green oasis with planting and landscaping, or enjoy the space as it is while exploring the property's future potential.

With just one owner since the home was originally built, this is a property many may not even realise exists. Yet once you arrive and take in the views, privacy and unique setting, it is easy to understand why it has been so loved.

Unlike anything else currently on the Methven market, this home has the feel of a contemporary townhouse you might expect to find in the city, combined with the mountain surrounds and relaxed lifestyle that make Methven so special. Walk through the door and you will instantly understand what makes this property something truly different.

A rating valuation is the council's figure for apportioning rates, not a market appraisal. Sale prices are as published; a code beside a price is the council's sale type — hover it for what it means. “Off the market” only means the property stopped being advertised: it may have sold, been withdrawn or moved to another agency.

Unclaimed
Nobody is tracking this property yet

If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.

Free. Takes about a minute.

We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.

What claiming gets you
1One live recordCouncil valuation, title details and registered interests, kept current rather than gathered again every time you need them.
2Your lending in the pictureAdd what you owe, or connect the bank, and the equity and LVR stop being a calculation you redo by hand.
3Providers compete for itPut the mortgage, the insurance and the power out to people who want the business — on your terms, when you ask.
4Everything else you ownOne search finds other titles in your name and in companies you are a director of.

Zoning and hazards

What the council's published maps say about this land. A map is a model of a storm, not a record of one: a LIM or a flood report says more.

We do not hold flood maps for Ashburton District yet.

Contaminated land

Councils keep registers of land used for activities on the Hazardous Activities and Industries List (HAIL) — service stations, timber treatment, orchards, landfills. A listing records how land was used, not that it is contaminated: most sites have never been tested.

Environment Canterbury's Listed Land Use Register can be searched property by property on its own site, but is not published as data.

See the Listed Land Use Register

What could you build here?

See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
