Nestled in a warm, bush-clad valley along the peaceful Hook River, this unique property offers a blend of natural beauty, productive horticulture, and comfortable living. Known as "Hook Bush Nurseries", this established lifestyle property presents a rare opportunity to own a productive nursery business set in a tranquil setting with a nearby meandering river.
The stone home, thoughtfully nestled into the hillside, provides around 101sqm of modernised living space with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Recently renovated, the open-plan, north-facing home maximizes sunlight and serenity, perfect for appreciating the stunning surroundings and native birdlife, including tui, bell birds, and more.
The property offers extensive grounds with hundreds of rhododendrons, flowering trees, an orchard, vegetable garden, berry bushes, and even chickens. Further you will have a serene sunken garden and pizza oven and outdoor living area in your front garden
Primary school bus access right at the gate. Easy access to nearby towns: just 15 minutes to Waimate township and 30 minutes to Timaru.
The nursery business spans over 26 years, featuring:
•Five tunnel houses and three shade houses for cultivating a wide range of plants
•Two propagating sheds and multiple small greenhouses
•A three-bay implement shed and ancillary wood sheds
•Fully reliable irrigation system controllable via cellphone
•A full plant list is available on request
The nursery has previously boasted a loyal client base across the South Island with strong wholesale potential and opportunities to expand retail door sales or local trade. However the vendors are not horticulturist and have been leasing the nursery, purchasing for the private and peaceful qualities this property brought them.
The property's garden walls and natural setting also make it an ideal wedding venue, with popular walking destinations like Gunns Bush and Mount Studholme close by. The vendors have even operated the home successfully as an Airbnb.
This lifestyle property combines peaceful living, business opportunity, and stunning natural surroundings in a location ideal for plant propagation and growth. With the lease of Nursery having just come to an end there is also a lease opportunity available and potential accommodation income.
