Located overlooking the breathtaking Ohauparuparu Bay in the outer Kenepuru Sound at the top of the South Island, "Taradale" is an exceptional waterfront estate approximately 1 hour 50 minutes' drive from Blenheim CBD. Owned by just two families since 1862, this is a property rich in history, scale, and opportunity.
Comprising five titles and approximately 2.6km of waterfront, the estate spans a significant landholding currently operated under regenerative farming practices, producing premium Wagyu, Wangus, and Wagford cattle. Productive pasture is thoughtfully balanced with extensive native planting, creating an environmentally conscious farming operation supported by a reliable natural water source.
At the heart of the property is a beautifully renovated three-bedroom homestead featuring double glazing for modern comfort and effortless year-round living. Additional accommodation includes traditional shearers' quarters (separate three-bedroom bach), offering flexibility for family, staff, or guest use.
Infrastructure is well established with stockyards, a woolshed, two implement sheds, road access, and nearby barge landing options. Fish Bay jetty is conveniently located approximately 10 minutes away, providing practical access via boat to Havelock, only 40mins away by boat. The school is approx. bus passes directly in front of the property.
Combining scale, privacy, natural beauty, and income potential, Taradale also presents exciting potential opportunities including eco-tourism, luxury retreats, or glamping ventures. This is a rare opportunity to secure a landmark Marlborough Sounds estate where lifestyle, legacy, and business potential come together in one remarkable offering.
