Description

If you're in the market for a block that offers more than your typical lifestyle property-something with genuine scale, impressive infrastructure, and that big-farm feel without the big-farm price tag-then you'll already know this is literally a needle in a haystack.

Currently part of a larger farming operation but already on its own freehold Title of 37 ha, this block offers a dynamic mix of quality flats along with rolling to easy hill country, set up perfectly for sheep and beef, or whatever your heart desires.

Sitting proudly at the top of a gently winding driveway is a fantastic private country cottage nestled amongst established trees and gardens. There's a real sense of escaping the world and settling into your own private paradise, with plenty of scope to be self-sufficient. The home offers everything you could want if you're after low-maintenance comfort without the burden of a mansion: two generous bedrooms, one bathroom, and an open-plan kitchen and living area warmed by a cosy log fire. In summer, the living space flows onto a covered verandah and deck. Outside, the grounds offer beautifully established gardens, fruit trees, and a range of mature exotics-and did I mention the all-day sun and magnificent views?

When it comes to farm infrastructure, this block certainly packs a punch: a large shearing shed, covered yards, cattle yards, implement shed, workshop and more-nothing here will disappoint. Water is well handled via a reliable well, with ample roof space available if you wish to expand into rainwater harvesting.

Located just outside the rural township of Tapawera, you'll find everything you'd expect from a close-knit country community-school, Four Square, local pub, rugby grounds-while still enjoying an easy commute over the hill into Richmond or through to Nelson and everything the "big smoke" offers. But let's face it: once you own this property, the more time you spend on your own land and the less time you spend anywhere else, the better!
