Description

Indulge in the opportunity to acquire one or two exceptional land parcels within the awe-inspiring Mt Lyford Village - opt for one or seize the chance to secure both.

Explore this option of the expansive 26.17-hectare plot, adorned with well-established native foliage and pine trees - an ideal haven to beckon bees and wildlife alike. This generous block is located in the picturesque area that is Mt Lyford, the land remains fairly untouched creating a remarkable link to nature.

This vast piece of land offers magnificent views of the countryside and is complete with a large pond surrounded by greenery. The land also features a flat platform, the perfect space for building or parking a caravan.

To gain access to water and power on this block of land you would have to apply to Mt Lyford Village Management. Subdivision of the block may be possible, but you would need to do your own due diligence regarding this matter.

The property also features a walking trail with panoramic views of the area. Whether you seek a tranquil countryside retreat, a haven for outdoor pursuits, or proximity to skiing adventures, these properties present an enticing proposition.

Conveniently situated near the Waiau Township and the captivating Hanmer Springs, this rural sanctuary holds the promise of becoming your personal paradise - an enchanting slice of New Zealand's beauty. A few hours in the car will lead you to the city of Christchurch and a shorter drive towards the coast will allow you to find yourself in the beautiful town of Kaikoura.

This property has a unique place in New Zealand's natural history - so much so that when the extinct South Island kokako was believed to have been sighted nearby, the University of Canterbury installed an animatronic bird on the land in an effort to capture evidence.
