MOUNTAIN VIEWS - CANTERBURY

This exclusive 10 acre section of land is located in the beautiful "Homebush" area of Canterbury. This is a
quiet farming (mainly sheep and beef cattle) area of the Malvern District, with only one other house within
half a mile, and a very low likelihood of any others being built nearby. It has spectacular views of the Southern Alps of the South Island,
and lower hills in the foreground, which is itself an ideal dry platform for building your exclusive home
and carrying on any sort of garden, horticultural or animal activity.The area is particularly suited to  horse and
pony exercising as the main road past the gate is generally quiet, with a wide berm.
 

The property is approximately 5 miles from Darfield, a well-equipped service town (3 restaurants, 2 supermarkets)
and an hours easy drive from Christchurch , an English style city of a quarter of a  million. The International Airport at Christchurch is approximately 40 minutes drive. Easy access is obtained within an hours drive also to such mountain and river activities as skiing, snowboarding, climbing, tramping, fishing, shooting, jetboating etc. A number of golf courses, including the international Terrace Downs and Clearwater are within 40 minutes drive. All services are available for normal house building requirements, and a permit has been issued for that.
There will be no permit issued for factory farming on the block or shifting old buildings on to the site and buyer will be expected to consent to normal operations by neighbours (which are generally very unobtrusive). An option of lease back of some or all of the land would be available as would the opportunity for the right to reclaim GST, if the property is registered for a farming activity.
The vendors have lived in the area for 50 years and can highly recommend it!!

Whangamomona

500 Acres - North Island, NZ

$NZ275,000 + GST

An opportunity not to be missed in these times of very rapidly escalating property values throughout New Zealand.

This desirable piece of land, comprising 500 acres, is situated inland from Stratford on the western side of the North Island. 500 acres of mainly pure virgin bush bordered by the Whangamomona River on the west side and a Dept of Conservation block to the north. The property would be an excellent hunting block or retreat or lifestyle combined with income from milling.

This is an enormous piece of land about twice the size of Hagley Park (for those who are familiar with the Christchurch region for example). There is a sustainable milling permit registered against the title in favour of the owner allowing the removal of 225 cubic metres of native timber for commercial sale with an unlimited amount for personal use. The permit was altered to increase the quantity of high value RIMU.
Due to controls native timber is extremely expensive, running at between $NZ2500 - 3500 per sawn, dried cubic metre.

Access by metal road from Stratford.

Asking $275,000 + GST.
