Property Description

Built in the 1890s, this remarkable two-storey character home has been lovingly maintained, sensitively modernised, and beautifully restored over the years. Set on an established 1,600sqm section in the heart of Tai Tapu, it is a property that commands attention for all the right reasons.

Following the earthquakes of 2010 and 2011, the home underwent an extensive three-year restoration - retaining its historic charm while incorporating high-quality modern upgrades. From new piles, insulation, wiring, and plumbing to replacement weatherboards and a Colorsteel roof, every detail has been thoughtfully completed. Inside, the warmth of American white oak flooring, sun-filled living areas, and generous proportions create a home that is both elegant and comfortable.

Property Highlights:
• 4 double bedrooms - master with walk-in robe & ensuite
• Family bathroom with bath & separate shower, ensuite & 3 toilets
• Modern kitchen with breakfast bar and separate formal dining
• Expansive, light-filled formal living space
• Two back-to-back woodburners and two heat pumps
• Two deck areas and two verandahs for all-season outdoor living
• Large outbuilding with loft (former milking shed) - workshop, studio, or hobbies area
• Raised vegetable gardens, mature specimen trees, and landscaped grounds

Why Tai Tapu?
A historic village just 6km from Lincoln and 18km from Christchurch, Tai Tapu blends rural charm with convenience. Local landmarks include Tai Tapu School (est. 1876), St Paul's Anglican Church, the historic Tai Tapu Hotel (1856), and the renowned Otahuna Estate.

With its rich heritage, superb presentation, and rare scale, this is a home that offers more than just a place to live - it's an opportunity to own a truly special piece of Canterbury's history.

History, heart, and quality - the perfect lifestyle package.
