Embrace Comfort in Nature
Welcome to Mount Somers Village, sitting comfortably between the Southern Alps and the fertile Canterbury Pains. In summer the mountains and lakes offer outdoor adventure, and in winter the International ski resort of Mount Hutt is close and accessible.
Over the past few years Mount Somers Village has been expanding, with new housing, a growing population and good roading. It is conveniently located in a triangle formed by the towns of Methven, Geraldine and Ashburton., all within easy driving distance and each offering something special in terms of services and ambience. It is approximately 100 km easy driving from the main South Island town of Christchurch, with its international airport. There is a primary school in the Village, an historic store overlooking the village green with its bridge and small stream, a restaurant and a pub. It is close to Mount Sunday, the site chosen for filming Edoras, capital of Rohan, in the Lord of the Rings.
96 Ashburton Gorge Road has uninterrupted, private views of both Mount Somers and Mount Hutt. Watching dusk fall over the mountains and the lights of snow groomers on the ski field is a valued end of day routine. It is set well off the road down a 100 m driveway, and the house is completely private. It was designed by the owners, and built in 2021 to a very high standard by Joseph Builders, based in Mt Somers Village.
The interior of the 303 m2 house offers an impressive entrance foyer and, on a broken plan concept, a generous living room, a dining room and a large high spec kitchen. All of these rooms have beamed ceilings, with that in the living room being high raked. There are four bedrooms. The large
master, which faces the mountains, has an en suite with an enclosed dressing room. The family bathroom, generously proportioned, features a sauna.
The one hectare grounds are planted as an arboretum, sympathetic to the mountain environment, while offering the advantage of lower maintenance. An unusual feature of the grounds is a fully enclosed courtyard, with roofed sitting and dining areas. There is a large shed, one half of which is designed for gardening equipment etc with electric roller doors on opposing walls for ease of use. The other half is currently used as an artist's studio but given its fitout could just as conveniently be used as an office or a sleepout. This half of the shed is fully lined, insulated and has a tiled floor.
Excellent fibre connectivity offers a dream escape from the commuting grind for those wanting to
work remotely from home.
We look forward to your enquiry and to sharing this property with you.
