Deadline Sale (unless sold prior) 12pm, Wed 19 Nov 2025

Comprising approximately 282.7648 hectares (subject to survey), this property presents an excellent farming opportunity with a strong balance of contour and land use. Approximately 30 hectares are highly fertile flats, with the balance in easy to moderately steep hill country ranging in altitude from approximately 5 to 300 metres above sea level.

The land is well regarded for its fertility, early growth, and ability to support both summer and winter country. A high proportion of effective area, coupled with clean country and excellent water resources, underpins the farm’s strong production base. Stock health is well recognised in the district, further supporting breeding and finishing performance.

Currently operated as a breeding and finishing unit, the property carries approximately 1,000 ewes, 55 breeding cattle, 30 heifers and 45 finishing cattle, with approximately 800 ewes and lambs fattened annually. Subdivision and access are well developed, providing ease of management and the ability for one-person mustering. Established native bush and pristine water enhance the natural features of the property, while excellent flats provide flexibility for future production options.

The property has been run remotely from a home in Tai Tapu, highlighting the straightforward management systems in place. Well-formed access and reliable infrastructure ensure the farm can continue to be operated remotely or provide the foundation for a new build, with elevated sites offering extensive sea views as well as over Lake Ellesmere, the Canterbury Plains, and out to the Southern Alps. Situated approximately 45km southeast of Christchurch, this property offers the perfect balance of rural living with convenient access to both town and city amenities.
