Bordered by the Leatham Conservation Area this unique property presents a rare opportunity to secure a true blank canvas in one of Marlborough’s great outdoor playgrounds. Whether you envision an off-grid camping retreat, hunting base, or future development project, the possibilities here are as expansive as the landscape itself.Â
The Leatham Conservation Area covers the catchments of the Branch and Leatham Rivers, and is renowned as a good hunting area with red deer, goats, pigs and chamois. Perfectly positioned for those who thrive outdoors, the property offers easy access to boating on nearby Lake Argyle and fly fishing across the many surrounding tributaries. From dawn until dusk, this is a location where adventure is simply part of everyday life. Beyond hunting and fishing, the area boasts an extensive network of hiking, mountain biking, and 4WD tracks, while Rainbow Ski Area is within easy reach for winter escapes.
With abundant firewood, excellent hunter-gatherer resources, and a peaceful riverside setting alive with native birdsong and roaring stags in season, the property lends itself perfectly to a more self-sufficient lifestyle immersed in nature. Station Creek runs all year on one side of the property, and there is an old limestone quarry just upriver with outcrops of limestone in the soils. There is an established building site with views of the braided Leatham River, and an Engineer's Report, initial plans and year-round sun mapping are available. The block also features well maintained tracks and fencing with trial fruit and nut trees being planted in 2025 and climate data available.
Despite its incredible sense of seclusion and wilderness, this off-grid haven remains conveniently located just over one hour from town, offering the ideal balance between privacy and accessibility.
