Murchison - Quality and Versatility in Picturesque Spot

Description

This 360ha rural property has something for everyone; a mix of easy flats and hill country in pasture, forestry plantations for timber and carbon, native bush for hunting and wildlife and all complemented with a good array of sheds, infrastructure and a renovated 4 bedroom residence.
The property has been well maintained by the current owners with new stock water system, upgraded fencing, replanted and new forest blocks, and new versatile garage. The property lends itself to a stand-alone farming unit or would equally suit as a versatile support block with carbon and subdivision opportunities.
The farmhouse has 4 bedrooms plus office, large living areas with open plan kitchen/dining and entry hall and separate laundry. The house sits in large established gardens with stunning views over the property towards Mount Owen. The property is well set up with double glazing, two wood burners, and gas hot water. A newly constructed double garage with carport and additional storage rooms adds convenience to the house.
The terrain varies from flat productive river terraces (80ha) to steep hill slopes with a total of 150ha in pasture . With approximately 60ha in plantation forests the property can produce carbon and timber, and offers additional afforestation options. The remaining land is mainly native forest in remnant patches around the farm, and solid native forest towards the rear of the property.
The property is bordered to the West by Owen River Scenic Reserve and to the East by Kahurangi National Park. Two Mile Creek flows through the centre of the property until it joins the Buller River. Historically the property used to be the main access route from the Buller River to the upper Owen Valley during the 1800's gold rushes.
The property features well-maintained fencing and upgraded water supply. Farm improvements include an implement shed with enclosed workshop, 4-bay pole shed plus enclosed storage, 3-bay hay shed, additional 4-bay hay shed, and chemical shed, Cattle and sheep yards, 2-stand wool shed, and a calf shed
