285 Grassmere Road, Ward, Marlborough, Marlborough

Welcome to Ellerdene, a 297.0393ha sheep and beef finishing block that has more than meets the eye. Opportunity awaits you to stamp your own mark and to further develop this well-situated finishing property.

Ellerdene is a short 12-14kms from the townships of Seddon to the west and Ward to the east, and an accessible thirty-five minutes (36km) drive from Blenheim.

The land stretches north to south with rolling hills and valleys through to steep country. Many pockets of arable land are identified and intensified cropping and farming is the practice required for ultimate productivity.
The contours of the land and the numerous catchment areas for natural water storage and stock use provide plenty of scope for cropping and feeding of stock. Currently, this more than 2,500 stock unit sheep and beef farm includes a full range of farm infrastructure including a woolshed, sheep, and cattle yards, hay and implement sheds. There is potential for deer farming to be part of the workings of this farm. Deer fencing has been installed throughout the farm with fencing and posts available for further development.

The home is a four bedroom, two bathroom 1940s villa with a comfortable 'Open Plan' kitchen, dining, and living space. The home is functional for the growing family and there is plenty of scope with indoor-outdoor flow off one of two living rooms and out onto the front veranda. As well as this there is further indoor/outdoor space with the porch at the rear of the home.

Grassmere Road is right in the heart of the Flaxbourne and Awatere regions of Marlborough. Two of the strengths and features of these neighbouring regions are the strong community ties and the ability to show diversity with farming, particularly in the past ten or so years where the development in viticulture continues to expand throughout the Awatere/Flaxbourne region.

This property is no exception. Areas of land have been deemed as being suitable for viticulture should the Flaxbourne Community Irrigation Scheme go ahead, and the property has been inspected by a dam engineer where a suitable dam site has been identified.

This property is sold + GST (if any).
