Untapped potential

Previously run as an organic orchard, this lifestyle block offers a wealth of potential in a peaceful rural setting. Located on Downs Road and not far from the Eyre River, it's perfectly positioned for recreational activities like horse riding or off-roading. Zoned for the highly regarded decile 10 West Eyreton School, the property is just 24km from the motorway and around 30 minutes to Christchurch International Airport. Several apple trees remain- great for food smoking, firewood, or simply enjoy the fruit from those still producing. Water is supplied via the West Eyreton Council scheme to a 25,000-litre tank, with a daily allocation of 2,000 litres. There's also the option to put down your own bore, with reliable groundwater providing up to 10,000 litres per day. Some irrigation infrastructure remains in place. The property enjoys sweeping mountain views and the convenience of a sealed road right to your gate. The land features free-draining Darnley Stony Silt Loam soil, which performs well year-round, even through the wetter months. With plenty of open space and scope to add value, the property also lends itself well to those with horses or other animals. Contact us today to arrange your viewing.
