When it comes to the Top of the South Island, there's plenty to love - but one thing we don't have an abundance of is farms with true scale.
That's exactly what makes this opportunity so rare.
Presenting 718 ha across two titles, with the option to further expand your footprint through six additional adjoining landholdings also available for purchase. Two of these are currently leased and run in conjunction with the main farm, giving you flexibility to secure anywhere from 718 ha to a massive 1,844 ha.
Quality and scale of this calibre simply do not come to market in this location - making this a genuinely unique proposition.

Offering approximately 440 ha of effective grazing, the property comprises mostly gentle rolling country, supported by pockets of easy hill, with the balance made up of stunning mature natives in the gullies, with 132 Ha of post 89 Native forrest registered in the ETS scheme. The property is currently utilised for sheep and beef operations and runs around 3500 SU.
Infrastructure is extensive. The property provides two solid homes:
A comfortable three-bedroom, double-glazed home with separate living, cosy log burner and heat pump, and
A tidy two-bedroom cottage ideal for staff or additional accommodation.
Farm improvements are significant and include covered yards, a large woolshed, implement shed, workshop, hayshed, two sets of cattle yards, two sets of sheep yards, an airstrip with bulk fert storage, plus excellent access and a well-established tracking network. Both sides of the property have their own access points from the lower road, and the block connects again at the top - making stock movements and day-to-day management seamless.
With the farm set in a high-rainfall district, water is not a concern coupled with the property enjoying excellent reliable stock water, including reticulated supply plus other natural sources. The land sits on Pakihi (podzol) soils and has a sound fertiliser history available on request. Natural boundaries include Salisbury Creek and Basin Creek, with Finney's Creek running through the middle.
Located in the Bainham district of western Golden Bay, Quartz Range was the first farm purchased in the Lone Star Farms group. It enjoys sweeping views north over the Aorere Valley towards Golden Bay, and south to the mountainous backdrop of Kahurangi National Park.
If you're seeking a well-balanced, large-scale farming operation, this is undoubtedly the strongest opportunity we've seen in years.
