Two dwellings - rare lifestyle opportunity

Discover the perfect balance of country living, space and versatility on this exceptional 7.5 hectare lifestyle property, ideally positioned just minutes from Richmond and only 18km from Nelson Airport.

Set well back from the road for outstanding privacy, the original historic homestead offers three generous bedrooms plus an office, creating the ideal family home. A large log burner provides warmth and character, making it a welcoming retreat throughout the seasons. Adding incredible flexibility is a separate two-bedroom granny flat complete with its own log burner and heat pump; perfect for extended family, guests, or a potential additional income stream.

The fully fenced, flat land is divided into ten paddocks, each serviced by water troughs, making it ideally suited to sheep, cattle, horses or other livestock. The current owners have enjoyed cultivating beautiful peonies while running stock. There is also the opportunity to generate supplementary income by leasing part of the land.

Infrastructure is a standout feature, with an impressive range of outbuildings including a shearing shed, three-bay shed, implement sheds, a double garage and additional storage—offering endless possibilities for farming, contracting, hobbies, or home-based business ventures.

Established gardens and mature trees, including a variety of fruit trees and an apricot orchard, create a picturesque setting that enhances the property's timeless appeal.

With Appleby School just down the road, Richmond Town Centre only a short drive away, and the convenience of Nelson Airport within easy reach, this is a lifestyle property that truly offers the best of both worlds—peaceful rural living without sacrificing accessibility.

Properties of this size, quality, charm and versatility in such a sought-after location are rarely available. Whether you're seeking a family lifestyle, multi-generational living, grazing opportunities, or the chance to create additional income, this outstanding property deserves your inspection.
