Weka Pass Road, Hawarden, Hurunui

Location with Scale and Options

Under Offer

A one-off opportunity to purchase a versatile and diverse property of approximately 275 hectares (subject to survey) located at Weka Pass Road between the Waipara and Waikari townships. This block has a mix of contour from undulating flats and downs to medium hill country, all with a well-balanced proportion of sunny and shady aspects.

County scheme and natural water are available with shelter provided from the contour and some plantings plus internal subdivision makes stock management simple. Soils are classified as Haldon and Waikari types and provide for a range of possible land uses. Cover is a mix of over-sown and top-dressed pastures on the hill with established modern pastures and lucerne stands on the easier contours. An area of rougher ground with gorse provides some scope for further development. There is no electricity on this property and access off Weka Pass Road is being negotiated as part of the subdivision process. This property may complement an existing dryland or hill property further inland given it is located within an easy drive of Christchurch city and the service towns of Waikari and Amberley. Farm it yourself or invest and investigate its potential to be leased.

This is an iconic landscape featuring natural limestone escarpments and features with the added bonus of some outstanding views of inland North Canterbury and towards the coast. Plus, it is located in the heart of the Hurunui region being on the route to the thermal resort of Hanmer Springs and with the Waipara wine region very close by. It could appeal to those looking for a long term investment or something special where you could establish an alternative lifestyle off the grid and take advantage of some of the spectacular building sites within the property, yet still commute to the city.
