Are you after a reasonable sized lifestyle block to be able to graze a few animals on? This 10.57 ha (26 acre) block is best set up for horses and cattle, but could also be fenced for sheep. It has a 1920’s home which sits amongst a mature and colourful garden overlooking the paddocks, and from where no other houses can be seen. The house has open plan living, a large and sunny lounge, two very spacious bedrooms, plus a smaller very sunny 3rd bedroom, sunroom, office or hobby room. A log fire with wetback is a very efficient heater and the open fire is still an alternative means of heating the lounge. The kitchen and bathroom have both been recently refurbished as well as the laundry. There is a double garage beside the house, wood sheds and tool shed. Down in the ‘yard’ is a large workshop converted from a woolshed, a hut/hobby room and workshop with storage. These all have power connected to them. There is also a 2-bay hayshed/tractor shed with 3 enclosed sides. Alongside the sheds is a lunging pen, breaking in pen, day pen and race for handling animals. The property is divided up into 15 paddocks - 11 larger ones, 3 small ones around the house and 1 on the hill behind the house. A 30,000 litre water tank on the hill supplies the house, there are 30 year old pine trees for firewood, and a hen house so you can have your own fresh eggs. Handy to Albury and a 30 minute commute to Timaru. Just 15 minutes’ drive to Fairlie and 45 minutes to Tekapo. A quiet spot which is handy to work, and to the lakes and mountains that the Mackenzie District is renowned for. A scenic drive through the back roads will get you through to the Mackenzie Pass and Lake Benmore, or turn down the Rollesby Valley to go through to Burkes Pass and on to Tekapo. Generate some income from the land or sit back and enjoy the peace and watch the rural life around you, the choice is yours. |
