Historical Charmer needs a new future.

Built by the Boag family, Middlerigg is a beautifully presented Historic Canterbury Homestead built in 1886, and positioned on 5.0279 hectares in Brookside, Dunsandel. This unique homestead is now on the market.

Middlerigg has been tastefully renovated in recent times to conserve the original Victorian period features while offering all the comfort of modern living.

High ceilings, ornate ceiling roses, polished rimu floor, marble mantels and gold leaf picture rails are just some of the Victorian period features on display. The two-storey home boasts five bedrooms plus a study, two bathrooms, a spacious country style kitchen complemented by an exposed chimney with a wet back fire and a separate pantry, a formal dining room, a drawing/ living room with attached sunroom and French doors leading to verandas. Multiple heating solutions are featured to keep you cosy during the cooler months.

Middlerigg is nestled on a private english garden lined by mature trees, it offers plenty of areas to entertain and indulge yourself in the summertime: a rose covered pergola with a barbecue area, an outside hidden wood fire bath, and a large fire pit area. Complementing the homestead is a three car open garage, a single shed with power suited for a workshop, a vegetable garden and orchard area.

The garden and homestead make an ideal setting for weddings, fund raising events, or other significant gatherings, offering unique hospitality opportunities if desired.

The land is currently running horses, fenced into 6 paddocks with automatic water troughs, it is complimented by a 2 bay hay shed, a five bay implement shed, 2 stables with concreted tack up area, a separate concreted wash bay, and 4 yards.

This unique property offers numerous options for incoming purchasers.

Well located, close to schools, Leeston and Dunsandel Township, a handy 15 min from Rolleston, and easy 45 min commute to Christchurch.

Property will be sold + GST on the land portion if any.
