Some homes are lovely inside. This one has the whole package: generous, light-filled living and a beautifully landscaped setting that makes coming home feel like a treat.

The layout gives family life room to breathe. The kitchen, dining and main living area come together as the social heart of the home, with an easy connection to the outdoors for relaxed weekends and entertaining. When it's time to put your feet up, close the doors to the second lounge and enjoy a little peace or let the kids claim it as their own space. Either way, everyone wins.

High ceilings add a wonderful sense of space, while skylights bring natural light streaming through the home. It feels open, bright and welcoming without losing that comfortable, easy-to-live-in feel.

And then there's the landscaping. Beautifully presented and a real highlight, the garden gives you a lovely backdrop for a morning coffee, a sunny afternoon or a get-together with friends. The house is impressive, but the garden definitely knows it.

Conveniently located close to Rolleston School and Rolleston College, with Rolleston's shops and everyday amenities just a short distance away.

The owners are moving out of town and need to sell, so this is your chance to secure a home with space, sunshine and landscaping that deserves its own introduction.

Come and see it for yourself; this one is even better in person.

Our estimate$867,000

We start from the council's rating valuation, move it by how sales in the area have moved since against their own council values, then by how properties like this one, nearby sales and its own last sale have done against the same arithmetic. Each step is an average of real sales. Tested every month against sales we had not seen: half land within about 6% of our estimate, and about 8 in 10 within the range. This is an automated estimate, not a registered valuation.

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.

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.
