This versatile 252-hectare farm, situated in the heart of Waikari, North Canterbury, is offered to the market as part of an estate realisation. Karaka Downs presents a rare opportunity to secure a well-established sheep, beef and finishing property. With its productive land, scenic outlook and potential for further development, this is a standout offering in a highly regarded farming district.

Previously leased to local farmers, the property comprises predominantly rolling downs with some areas of easy hill and medium/steep hill, with the majority of the land being cultivatable. Well set up for efficient operation, the block is partially deer fenced and complemented by infrastructure. This includes an older three stand woolshed, modern three bay implement shed, a second three bay implement shed, wooden cattle and sheep yards.

Fertile soils support a diverse mix of pasture and crops, contributing to its reputation as a highly productive and well-developed farm. Well subdivided and benefiting from strong shelter throughout, the farm is set up for deer on a large portion of the land and has traditionally supported both livestock and cropping. Its layout and infrastructure make it a functional and visually appealing agricultural enterprise.

Stock water is supplied by the local district scheme which is held in holding tanks on the high points of the farm and gravity fed to a mixture of concrete and plastic troughs.

With the ability to operate as either a standalone or as a highly desirable addition to a larger operation, this versatile and well-appointed property offers more than expected. Development, balance and location all combine to create an offering that will appeal to a buyer seeking to take their farming aspirations to the next level.

Positioned on the doorstep of the Culverden dairy district, the farm presents a valuable opportunity for dairy support and grazing. Renowned as healthy stock country, and operated as a sheep and cattle breeding and finishing unit, demonstrating its productivity and flexibility.

The property includes a three-bedroom farmhouse alongside a converted Versatile style garage info two sleepouts and an older single garage. The home is privately set among mature gardens, offering a peaceful and comfortable family lifestyle.
