Nature, privacy and character lovers
First time to market in over 38 years this secluded slice of Peel Forest paradise charms everyone who visits. There is a total of 56.5ha of which 30ha is grazable land. It boasts epic views of little Mt Peel, a stream, fabulous bird life and ancient podocarps plus an abundance of privacy. The main dwelling exudes palpable character and comes with 3 bedrooms, an office and plenty of history. It has been hand-crafted with timber inside and out and you won't find another like it. Alongside the main house is a studio and separate workshop. A second dwelling is an off grid 1 bedroom cottage, accessed off the 400m drive and located a discreet distance from the main dwelling. Water is from a mountain stream, gravity fed to both dwellings and the farm from 2 holding tanks. Pride of place is the 20ha QE11 Covenant podocarp of remnant and regenerating forest. It includes primarily Totara, Matai and Kahikatea and is a significant privately owned forest in the region. There is also a woodlot of eucalyptus for firewood. Although it is not registered as organic, the owners have employed organic practices for the farm, which has excluded the use of nitrates for over 38 years. During this time the property has primarily stocked beef plus a few sheep. 22ha has been leased out for the past 12 years. There are 15 well fenced paddocks which include electric fencing and gravity fed water troughs. Located in Peel Forest the property receives 1200mm in annual rainfall. The Scotsburn River bisects the property and provides access to a DOC hunting block. Peel Forest is a nature lovers paradise for activities which include forest walks, camping and tramping. It is also home to the Peel Forest Outdoor Centre which offers a number of courses and programmes. Christchurch is just 1 3/4 hours away, Geraldine 20 min, Timaru 50 min and Lake Tekapo an hour, putting you within easy reach of skiing, boating and fishing.
