The foothills of the Kirkliston Mountains were home to large sheep stations with elegant but not too extravagant homesteads. This would have been a real stunner in the 1930's when built at the end of the craftsman era with no expense spared on the detailed woodwork. The modern addition of a kitchen and laundry with outdoor patio flow naturally with the original rooms and features. The gardens were once a labour of love and the plantings are unique with shrubs, orchards, bulbs and even a cloud tree.
The Hakataramea pass is a gateway to the Mackenzie basin and dark sky reserve. Approximate driving time from Kurow is 15 minutes. The last bit is a gravel road across a small creek and down a farm trek - what an adventure. Private, with the adjacent house and 2ha also for offer, this area is surrounded by sheep and beef farms. The quintessential kiwi rural setting in one of the most beautiful Valleys in NZ. Call or text for viewing as this is a working farm with entry only by permission. Kitty 0273460846.
