History for your re-imagining

Set on 1.08 hectares in Herbert's Rural General Zone, this former sawmill site -informally dubbed "Timberland Estate" by the current owner- offers a rare blend of industrial legacy and rural potential. Once home to the Herbert Sawmill, locally remembered as one of the South Island's earliest timber operations, the property now stands quiet, ready for its next chapter. On site you'll find remnants of its working past: old mill machinery, a workshop with office and kitchen, two sheds, an outdoor toilet, two tunnel houses, and gravity-fed water tanks connected to a pump system. Power is not currently connected. Zoned Rural General (not residential), the property may qualify for one dwelling under Waitaki District rules, subject to council standards. With no overlays for heritage, hazards, or noise restrictions, the site is a blank canvas for creative redevelopment, storage, or lifestyle use (with consent). Breakneck Road carries echoes of Waitaki's pioneering industry - this site invites you to reimagine it with fresh purpose. Buyer due diligence encouraged.
