Rare Opportunity - 1920's Bungalow, 35 Hectares!

Escape the city with this rare opportunity spanning 35 hectares, or nearly 90 acres! Located in West Eyreton, this versatile property has been under the same ownership for over 30 years, offering a rich history of stock grazing, hay cultivation, cropping, and equestrian activities.

Nestled on the property is a quaint 1920s 3-bedroom bungalow—a piece of history lovingly relocated decades ago. This cottage exudes vintage charm and invites a creative touch. While it may have seen better days, its character features still shine through, providing a unique chance to renovate and craft your own cozy haven, or explore the option to rebuild anew.

Mature shelter belts provide privacy and protection, while your own well and a water race running along one boundary ensure ample water supply. With a practical 3-bay shed, workshop, and stable, the property caters to your needs without unnecessary complications. There's ample room to add your personal touches and establish a self-sufficient lifestyle.

Situated just 20 minutes from Rangiora and 30 minutes from Christchurch Airport, this property strikes the perfect balance between convenience and serenity. Embrace the rural lifestyle while staying connected to amenities.

This is your chance to secure a larger landholding that doesn't come burdened with an opulent residence. Embrace the space, seize the opportunity, and make this property your own. Contact me today to step into a simpler, more affordable, yet incredibly rewarding way of life.
