Balance, Scope, & Opportunity

Situated in the highly regarded Waikari Valley farming district of North Canterbury, Double Hill is an impressive 637.6981 hectare property that has been developed into a substantial and well-established operation. Ideally suited as a breeding and finishing property, Double Hill is a well-balanced property featuring approximately 250 hectares of cultivatable land, combining a productive mix of fertile flat land, rolling grazing country, and steeper hill terrain. This diverse mix of contour and limestone base provides excellent flexibility and productive capacity, making it exceptionally well-suited to a wide range of farming enterprises.

Significant investment by the current owners has resulted in major improvements across the property, including modern sheep and cattle handling facilities, extensive fencing upgrades, and a comprehensive regrassing programme. An excellent water supply supports both domestic and livestock requirements, with 13 units of county water, multiple dams, and substantial water storage infrastructure providing reliable coverage across the property.

The property features well-maintained traditional fencing and an excellent network of tracks, ensuring easy access throughout, complemented by extensive established shelter.

A 32 hectare block of Pinus Radiata was established in 2021 under the One Billion Trees Programme. In addition, approximately 23.11 hectares is protected by an Open Space Covenant.

Farm infrastructure is extensive and includes a three-stand woolshed, multiple haysheds, sheep yards, modern wooden cattle yards with a classic Te Pari crush, and an old woolshed with older sheep yards.

Accommodation is provided by a tidy three-bedroom home, refurbished and renovated in recent years, which enjoys an elevated position with attractive rural views, along with a second three-bedroom weatherboard cottage.

Double Hill offers an attractive combination of cultivatable land, quality infrastructure, reliable water resources, and proven livestock performance. Enhanced by ongoing pasture development and forestry plantings, it is a highly productive and versatile farming enterprise in one of North Canterbury's premier farming districts that you will not want to miss out on.
