Description

With the sounds and retirement on the mind, our owner regrettably has made the decision that now is the time to let new owners enjoy all this property offers as they have.
Driving down the Gowan Valley Road to the stunning Lake Rotoroa on the Nelson side of Murchison, you very likely with have driven past this hidden gem without even realizing it's there. Situated on a hidden terrace well up above the road, you will find this very productive 285.9 Ha Block. The property has a really special and unique feel to it and a great balance between the 60 odd Ha of prime flats, 30 odd Ha of stepper grazing, some mature forestry and stunning mature native bush. The block certainly offers more than meets the eye, so how and what the next owner does with it will be their call, but there are options to potentially carbon farm on the hill. If you're a keen hunter, the block certainly won't disappoint with an abundance of wild game, including fallow deer, pigs and red deer all present and if you want to swap the rifle out for some waders, you can nearly walk to the lake.
As you would expect with a block of this quality, it has the improvements to back it up, including a well-appointed 3-bedroom home with a modern kitchen and bathroom, and cosy log burner for the colder months. From your home you will enjoy stunning 360-degree views of your pastures, stock & the surrounding mountain ranges. Farm infrastructure includes extensive shedding to ensure your farming machinery is well housed, with the largest shed having a mechanics pit, workshop and oversized roof stud. The farm sheds include a retired shearing shed, brilliant top of the line Te Pari cattle yards with crush, covered areas suitable for raising calves, deer yards, and hay shed and it goes on.
If you're a betting man, or woman, I'd bet you this great block won't last long and you won't see another like it for some time, if ever...... get in touch now
