139 Mackenzies Road, Waipara, Hurunui, Canterbury

Colliers as sole agents are excited to present an opportunity to acquire a fantastically located property in the heart of Waipara, one of New Zealand’s most celebrated wine-growing regions which also boasts an exciting tourist destination nearly year-round. This 12.39-hectare freehold property has been carefully nurtured and is now offered for genuine sale. With a change in personal circumstances and a desire to focus on new ventures, the vendors are highly motivated to sell and are seeking a buyer who will appreciate the value, potential, and lifestyle this property offers.

The vineyard comprises 9.2 hectares of planted vines, in addition to its productive capacity, the property features a charming one-bedroom cottage, perfectly positioned on a terrace that bisects the land. From this elevated vantage point, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of the vineyard and surrounding countryside. This humble abode would make a fantastic short or long term let to holidaying tourists seeking the beauty Waipara has to offer. Being only 45 minutes from Christchurch airport makes this getaway accessible to anyone. The terrace also offers outstanding potential building sites, ideal for creating your dream home in this serene and picturesque setting. Water resources are secure and well-managed, irrigation supplied by the Weka Plains Irrigation Scheme gives certainty in unpredictable seasons as nearly 14 million litres is allocated to the property. A change in land use is another possibility with no restrictions on water use by the irrigation scheme. More units could potentially be purchased from other shareholders that could be willing to sell unused water.

A reliable on-site well services domestic and stock water needs, and an additional unit of water is available from the county scheme. The current owners have maintained the vines to a very high standard and are now ready to pass it on to someone who will continue its legacy. For those seeking a more hands-off approach, the vineyard can be leased out allowing the owners to live amongst the vines without the work.

We warmly invite you to explore this exceptional opportunity and imagine your future in the countryside.
