Sugar Loaf house block covers approximately 48.03 hectares (subject to title) of flat, well developed land, currently used for dairy support, sheep breeding and finishing.
The property is almost entirely irrigated via K-line, drawing water from the North Opuha River and 27 Opuha water shares which also provides access to trout fishing. Well managed pasture rotations support consistent production across the block, located approximately 20km from Fairlie.
The Oamaru stone home is set within mature gardens and offers four bedrooms, a family bathroom, a separate toilet, and an additional toilet in the laundry/mudroom area. Open plan kitchen, dining, and living areas flow to a sunlit deck, with heating provided by a log fire and a modern coal range. There is internal access to the single car garage through the mudroom area.
Farm infrastructure includes a three stand shearing shed, sheep and cattle yards, a three bay hay barn, a five bay implement shed, a woodshed, silo, a double garage with power and tack room, and a horse arena. The land is divided into 12 paddocks and four holding paddocks, all with troughs, with stock water supplied from a bore on the property. Recent kale and swede crops maintain a strong pasture renovation programme, which has enabled the block to also support and balance the sheep and beef side of the wider operation.
This block offers practical options for dairy support, livestock finishing, or mixed farming, supported by established infrastructure and productive land. Whether you’re looking for your first farm, scaling back from a larger operation, or securing a conveniently sized grazing block for young stock, the potential here is considerable. With hunting and fishing on your doorstep, a welcoming rural community, and motivated vendors focused on completing the development of the adjoining hill block, Sugar Loaf combines lifestyle and productivity in a well connected, versatile setting. The area and boundaries are approximate and will be subject to final survey.
