'Waimere' is a very well balanced finishing and mixed cropping property comprising 153.4610 hectares. Situated at the end of Halls Road, adjacent to Waikari township and only 25 kilometres from Amberley, the property lends itself to a variety of uses including breeding, lamb finishing, dairy grazing and cropping.

Improvements include a well maintained four double bedroom homestead set amongst beautifully landscaped grounds with sweeping views across the property to the spectacular mountain ranges beyond. Built in 1914 the home was extended by the current owners in 2002 and features a warm and inviting kitchen-dining-living space with log burner, which is very much the heart of the home. This leads through to a more formal living room with Jetmaster open fire. Both areas open out to the wonderful north facing deck providing a welcoming and much utilised outdoor living space. A separate office, spacious family bathroom and separate laundry complete the home, which is serviced by a triple garage with workshop.

The garden has been thoughtfully planted and is framed by mature trees and rock walls, and includes a swimming pool ideal for relaxing by on those long, warm summer days. There is also a relocated cottage on the property which comprises three bedrooms and kitchen/living room with log burner and is currently tenanted. Farm improvements include a two stand woolshed and yards, cattle yards with head bail and load out ramp, three bay hayshed and two implement sheds.

The property is well sheltered and subdivided into 38 paddocks with good access from both Halls Road and Waikari Valley Road. Current cover includes 12ha Lucerne, 18ha Italian ryegrass, with the balance in permanent pasture. There are 32 fully paid shares in the Hurunui water Project included with the property. Comprising five titles, there are a number of future building sites offering spectacular views that provide options for purchasers if required.
