Matata (Fern Bird) is a 21.35ha property that is an oasis of peace and privacy. Set amongst native trees, 90km (or an hour's drive from Richmond) the property features the Hope river running through the property, giving you swimming holes, a diving platform and your own swing bridge. It has good boundary fencing and backs on to the Kahurangi National Park.
Just over half the property is in grassy flats, with walking tracks meandering around the many native and exotic plantings with the balance of the property being in native bush. The current owners have used the property as a weekend retreat and holiday destination, but with a comfortable home developed by the owners the property offers a permanent lifestyle.
The home sits in a private sheltered and sunny spot and a solar power system provides 240v power. There are two bedrooms plus a third on a mezzanine floor with extra bedding available. There is a coal range, wood burner and gas heater to keep you cosy through winter. There is a lock up garage with workshop and the vendors are leaving a long list of chattels for the lucky new owners.
Viewings by appointment only, so ring and come out and fall in love with Matata.
