Description
A purchasing option of approximately 144 hectares would be considered by the vendor. The vendors have recently acquired additional Central Plains Water shares, enabling the existing wiper pivot to complete a full circle and irrigate approximately 104 hectares, with the balance remaining as dryland. This option would require subdivision; however, the vendors are willing to undertake this process if required by the purchaser.
Well located in the tightly held Greendale district, this 183.2720-hectare (more or less) property combines scale, productivity and future potential. Suitable for a variety of farming uses, it has been faithfully farmed by its current owners for many years, consistently producing crops and fattened livestock, with further irrigation providing scope to enhance production.
The farm is supported by numerous sheds, a woolshed, and sheep and cattle yards. Pivot irrigation is in place with water supplied by Central Plains Water, with nutrient environmental management overseen by the Central Plains Water Scheme.
Set within private, sheltered grounds, the main 320sqm (approx.) residence, built in 2006, is a warm and spacious family home. Designed with modern living in mind, it offers an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, complemented by a separate lounge. Four bedrooms, including a master with ensuite and walk-in robe, a family bathroom, home office, double garage, and practical extras such as a log burner, HRV system, and double glazing ensure comfort and convenience. A second three-bedroom home provides additional accommodation, ideal for staff, or extended family.
Situated in the heart of Selwyn, the property is ideally positioned close to rivers, lakes and mountains, offering a range of recreational options. It is just 8km from Darfield and 42km from Christchurch, ensuring convenient access to town and city amenities.
This is a rare chance to secure a well-located farm in sought-after Greendale. A property with proven performance, genuine versatility and exciting potential for the future, in a location bound to provide strong upside.
