A large four-bay shed with power (two bays enclosed) provides ample space for storage, hobbies, or a workshop.

The location is hard to beat: close to native bush walks and mountain bike trails in the Hapuku River area, less than five minutes' drive to the popular surf breaks at Meatworks and Mangamaunu, and just around the corner from Koura Bay Golf Course and the newly opened Graze Restaurant.

The 2.6 ha (approx) of land provides the ultimate lifestyle backdrop - space to breathe, grow, and enjoy, all while surrounded by 360 degree views of snow-capped mountains and rolling pastoral valleys.
