The sale of Hampshire Downs is an outstanding opportunity to purchase a 231.7100 hectare multi use farming property near Greta Valley in North Canterbury.
The property is complemented at the end of a private and tree-lined sweeping driveway with the modernised four-bedroom homestead in a stunning setting with fantastic views to the north. Recently it has been double glazed throughout with double doors opening off the entrance to the living area, lounge and master bedroom. The kitchen with wooden features is an entertainer's delight with its walk-in pantry, Westinghouse oven, gas hobs and new dishwasher. The light and spacious open-plan dining/living area provides a functional day to day living space while the separate lounge, with its polished floorboards, provides a more formal entertaining area or alternatively options for a growing family and is warm and inviting as a result of its log burner. A large outside deck area, separate laundry and wash area complete the picture. A tunnel house nearby is ideal for growing your own produce.
Outstanding farm infrastructure includes the three-stand woolshed and covered yards (approx. 600 NP) plus a four-bay shed with lockup bay/workshop plus new cattle yards.
Ease of access across the majority of the property, including the ability to cultivate a large area, makes this an ideal property for livestock breeding and finishing while good stock water supply systems, a high standard of fencing, fertiliser inputs and a sound re-grassing program have been a priority over recent years.
Current farming practices include cattle finishing and some breeding ewes on the easy rolling to medium hill country.
In summary, this is a very well-balanced property, set up to support a wide range of farming options and should be given very early consideration by potential purchasers looking to acquire an easily managed, medium scale farming operation in a sought-after farming area that is complemented by well-maintained infrastructure.
