277 Mackenzies Road, Waipara, Hurunui

Set amongst the rolling foothills of North Canterbury’s picturesque countryside, this approximately 230.5725ha property presents an appealing combination of productive farming land, established infrastructure and future potential.

With approximately 50ha of irrigable land supplied by a privately owned dam, the property offers flexibility for a range of farming operations. Significant improvements by the current vendors include new fencing, stock troughs and laneways, enhancing farm efficiency and stock management. Around 50ha has also been resown in permanent pasture over the past three years, providing a solid foundation for ongoing productivity and making the property well suited to calf rearing and cattle finishing.

Approximately 68ha is planted in new forestry, with the vendor retaining the carbon credit rights for the next 16 years, providing an additional consideration for prospective purchasers.
Supporting the farming operation is a comprehensive range of infrastructure, including an older woolshed, cattle yards and sheep yards.

Accommodation is well catered for, with a three-bedroom family home privately positioned amongst established trees and enjoying pleasant views across the pond and surrounding hills. A second dwelling provides options for extended family, guests or staff, while the original homestead, the third dwelling, has also benefited from improvements to enhance its liveability.

Despite its peaceful rural setting, the property is conveniently located less than 15 minutes from Amberley, with its supermarket, medical centre, library, post office, shops, cafés and restaurants. Christchurch is under an hour’s drive, while North Canterbury’s renowned wineries, dining experiences and outdoor pursuits, including fishing, hunting, jet boating and diving, are all within easy reach.

Offering productive land, established farming infrastructure, multiple accommodation options and a convenient location, this is an opportunity to secure a versatile North Canterbury property with plenty to offer for both farming and family life.
