PROPERTY FILES: https://www.propertyfiles.co.nz/property/9ExplorerLane
Privately positioned on a generous 614sqm section, this brand new, high-quality build combines standout design with the practical space families want. It's complete, landscaped and ready for you to move in.
First Impressions That Last: The appeal starts at the front door. A striking entranceway with an overheight boxed ceiling sets the tone, and those overheight ceilings carry through the whole home. The living area lifts again with a scissor truss ceiling, giving the space real volume and light.
A Kitchen Built for Entertaining: At the heart of the home is a kitchen designed to impress. Stone benchtops and an oversized island give you room to cook, gather and entertain. Fisher & Paykel appliances include a 900mm induction cooktop, and feature LED lighting under the island and cabinetry adds a touch of luxury after dark. A dedicated walk-in pantry keeps everything organised and out of sight.
Living Options for Every Family: The everyday living space is large and flows outside through two ranch sliders. When you need room to spread out, a separate lounge with its own ranch slider gives you a second space to relax, watch a movie or keep the kids' zone apart from the adults.
Clever Dual-Wing Design: The floor plan is split into two wings, giving the master suite real privacy from the rest of the home. The master is generously sized and sunny, with a walk-in robe and a fully tiled ensuite featuring a tiled shower and underfloor heating.
In the other wing, three well-sized bedrooms all have fitted robes. The family bathroom is fully tiled with a tiled shower and a bath, perfect for bath time with young ones. A large storage room here services the entire home.
Year-Round Comfort: A fully ducted heat pump runs throughout the home and is split across two zones. You can heat or cool each area independently, so everyone stays comfortable no matter the season.
Room to Play, Room to Park: Outside, the private backyard is ideal for kids to play and for summer entertaining. There's also enough space down the side of the home for a trailer, boat, caravan or motorhome, a rare find in a new build. With hard and soft landscaping complete, this is a true turnkey package.
The Location: You're well placed for family life in one of Canterbury's fastest-growing towns. Rolleston's schools, parks, shops, cafes, library, and the Selwyn Aquatic Centre are all close by, and the motorway puts Christchurch within an easy commute.

How we worked this out
| Council valuation, Sept 2024 | $340,000 |
|---|---|
| Market movement in Selwyn District since the council valuation | +2.9% |
| How Rolleston sells against council values | −0.9% |
| Homes in this price range | −4.4% |
| Land as a share of the value | −0.3% |
| Nearby recent sales (15) | +0.3% |
| Our estimate | $332,000 |
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 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.

Building consents
We hold no building consents for this property yet. The council may hold records we have not seen.
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.
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.
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.
