Encompassing 304.4020 hectares, this impressive property is predominantly rolling to medium hill country, complemented by a smaller area of productive flat land. Set in a private and elevated position, it enjoys breathtaking panoramic views across the Waimakariri countryside and offers an opportunity to secure a highly versatile landholding. Combining established forestry, native bush, grazing land, and recreational attributes, the property caters to a wide range of farming, investment, and lifestyle interests.

Approximately 27.4 hectares of mature Douglas Fir (planted in 1998) and 70 hectares of Pinus Radiata (planted between 1992 and 1999) are established on the property, with a further 35.9 hectares recently harvested and replanted. The property also includes approximately 51.3 hectares of indigenous black beech forest across three designated Significant Natural Areas (SNA).

Approximately 128 hectares are registered in the Emissions Trading Scheme. Registration and any associated carbon credits are transferable to the purchaser by negotiation, subject to the relevant regulatory requirements.

Complementing the forestry operation is approximately 20 hectares of grazing land which is deer fenced and in permanent pasture. Farm buildings and improvements include a set of cattle yards with head bail and a solar electric fence unit.

Forestry operations are well supported by an extensive network of logging truck tracks and skid sites, making the property ideally suited for ongoing forestry management and harvesting activities.

An off-grid hut provides a peaceful rural retreat and an ideal base for recreational pursuits. The hut is equipped with solar power and offers comfortable bunk-style accommodation, along with a living area and a small kitchenette featuring gas cooking facilities.
