Two Blocks | Multiple Opportunities

283 McRaes Road, Waikari presents a substantial 738.7273 ha freehold hill country farming property in the Hurunui District. The property is available for purchase as a whole or in two separate blocks, providing flexibility for purchasers seeking either a complete farming operation or an additional grazing and finishing unit.

The property comprises Kintail, containing 456.3139 ha, and Wai-Iti, containing 282.4134 ha. Kintail includes a four-stand raised-board woolshed and a recently constructed 288 sq m calf-rearing shed, while Wai-Iti contains a 5 bedroom homestead and the majority of the farm infrastructure, including a three-stand curved-board woolshed with covered yards, cattle yards, workshop and horse arena.

The farm is currently operated as a diversified sheep and cattle property, carrying a breeding flock of Merino ewes, replacement and finishing sheep, and various classes of cattle. More recently, the Kintail block has also been used to rear more than 600 dairy-cross calves. The balance of contour, ranging from rolling downs to steeper hill country, provides a variety of grazing environments, including north-facing early country and sheltered southern faces.

The property is well subdivided by post and wire fencing, with farm tracks and Transpower access providing practical movement throughout much of the property. Stock water is supplied via the district water scheme, with four water units allocated to each block, supplemented by dams and creeks.

The 248 sq m weatherboard homestead provides generous family accommodation, with five bedrooms, a family bathroom and a recently renovated master suite with ensuite. An extension and renovations completed in 2014 created a spacious open-plan kitchen and living area, separate lounge, walk-in pantry and strong indoor-outdoor connection to the veranda, courtyard, swimming pool and established gardens. Heating is provided by a heat pump, open fire and log burner with wetback.

Located approximately 5 km from Waikari, 29 km from Amberley and 74 km from Christchurch, the property combines scale, established infrastructure and flexible purchasing options within a recognised North Canterbury farming district.
