What's around 280 Hickory Bay Road

Find Solitude, Find Splendor.

This has been a much-loved property by the current owners, with children raised here, horses, sheep and farm animals nurtured, and a lifetime of memories made. With over 100 acres (approx.) (54 hectares approx.) to enjoy, kids can roam freely from the crack of dawn "till the cows come home". And you'll never get tired of the ever-changing views down the valley to Goughs (Okaruru ) Bay. • A property for your heart's desire. • Held and cherished by current family for over 31 years. • 54 hectares (approx.) divided. 10hectares gorgeous established native bush teaming with rare species of fungi, flora and fauna, approx. 20 hectares, stage three to four regeneration, approx. 10-hectare stage 1 to 2 regeneration, approx. 10, hectares grazing, with 2 hectares secure for sheep. • Original 1910, Totara clad cocksfoot cottage - a working families love shack with a billionaire's view Situated North facing and sheltered with views East all the way to Chile. No two sensational sunrises are ever the same. The house is ready to repair, renovate or reimagine and redesign to your heart's desire. • Bell birds are abundant and the dawn chorus with rare finches and other native species are an absolute symphony. There are Kereru, Piwakawaka galore and at night be serenaded by the singing of tree frogs and a coven of Ruru. • Beautiful artesian aquafer water feeds into the house supply. The 4 never run dry artesian fed streams criss cross and border the property accompanied by various other springs scattered throughout the property to ensure an abundance of clear fresh pure water for humans, livestock and the drought resistant landscape.

The land around the house has remanets of the once beautiful garden scattered with heirloom walnut trees, with a chicken condo built above the frog pond. The old orchard has a hidden rock wall and numerous fruit trees enveloping a vege garden, with (almost) endless space and further potential. The current owners installed a horse arena (40x20) below the house from where there's also established walking tracks through the bush to the stream with a natural swimming hole - all the elements are there to create your own dream in this unique location.
