Description

It’s a rarity for such significant & captivating property in the outer Marlborough sounds to hit the market, and if you’re looking to be the owner of such a property this could be one of few chances you get.

A total of 467Ha, made up of around 390 Ha effective with the balance being three small stands of pines, and some stunning native bush and scrub. The property has traditionally been utilized for running sheep and some beef and had run 1000 sheep and 70 head of cattle now, but is currently running 600 ewes and 40 cattle, to make day to day running a little easier for the current owners who live off farm.

Improvements on the land include new fencing, with the majority of the fencing being sheep netting with electric, as well as a new solar stock water reticulation system, good tracks running over the entire block, great shedding and workshop and a substantial 3 stand shearing shed, cattle yards, sheep yards and airstrip. Options for the land are vast - you could put a manager or worker on and just enjoy being the proud owner of this slice of NZ or run the farm yourself and get away from it all, or potentially explore putting some of it back to bush and registering for ETS and earn passive income via carbon credits.

Down in Port Ligar Bay itself, which is the main hub of the farm, you will find a charming homestead which is rustic yet an elegant farmhouse offering all you could need for day to day living, holidays or large gathering of friends and family. Boasting breathtaking views over turquoise blue water and the impressive landscape of the outer sounds, with your own private spacious wharf, and did I mention 2 private moorings. Picture yourself sipping morning coffee on the deck on a still day and maybe spotting the dolphins in the bay or heading out for a quick fish while the water is glass calm and catching some fresh fish for lunch or a BBQ that day – This is what dreams are made of, and this dream is up for grabs. There are several other accommodation options including the 2/3-bedroom cottage currently uses as the managers residence.

There is far more to this property that words can explain, and it’s a property you have to feel to understand.
