Home and income with further horticultural options

Very few people would know of this lovely home, it has been designed to nestle into the back corner of this property and is surrounded by beautiful gardens of mature trees, flowering shrubs and specimen trees all enveloping the home and creating a very tranquil and peaceful place to call home.

This property is special and for several reasons, it is close to central Richmond, has an established income and there is bare land to develop. A very generous water right will enable this land to become highly productive. Market gardens, horticulture, intensive cropping or something less demanding like specialist cropping an equine center or maybe flowers; all of these ideas are possible here.

The home: Multi leveled but with a flat drive on access at the rear of the property and leading you into the open, bright and sunny living area carefully decorated in subtle natural shades that complement the solid Rimu features. This lovely home has four bedrooms and two bathrooms and the ground floor area is used as an office and music room. The kitchen enjoys views over the garden and out to the Western ranges.

The land: There is an area with an established pear orchard that is leased and maintained by a professional grower. Production details and returns are available to genuine buyers. The balance of the land is flat and used for grazing and fattening stock and making hay. This area of land has huge potential for intensive horticulture due to its water right.

The sheds: A double garage is situated close to the home and is used for storing garden equipment. A three bay farm shed with a lock up storage area has a high stud and is perfect for a boat, caravan or horse float and a second two bay hay shed is situated within the bare land portion of this property and used as a stable.

Other special features include a large garden pond, a woodland area and a very impressive home orchard.
