Glenroy Downs
Nestled between the fully serviced rural villages of Darfield and Methven, Glenroy Downs offers a rare opportunity for those seeking a versatile agricultural lifestyle property. This 167ha farm boasts a thoughtfully renovated 70 sqm, three bedroom cottage with one bathroom, set amid picturesque, rolling downs and flats. Well-equipped with three hay barns, a utility shed, centrally located sheep yards and main yard cattle facilities, Glenroy Downs is an ideal setup for dairy support or deer farming. The property is divided into 38 paddocks across diverse soils, primarily Claremont clay silt loams (128 ha), with sections of Kauru (25 ha) and Longbeach (1.6 ha) for a variety of grazing options. Additionally, 12 ha of Pinus radiata trees, aged six to seven years, provide both shelter and investment potential (not currently claiming carbon credits). Water supplied via the Hororata Acheron water scheme supplying 13 units to the troughs and cottage, supplemented by a regenerated old well, with several water storage tanks. Recently re-grassed and farmed in conjunction with a 400 ha home block for over 20 years, Glenroy Downs offers robust infrastructure to support future farming endeavours.
