Very private lifestyle block for horses, sheep or private playground away from neighbours on a very quiet road, but only 500m from heart of beautiful Brighton Bay, only 15 mins south of Dunedin CBD.
The property consists firstly... a paddock which I have left as a bird reserve - with nesting swans, kingfishers, spoon bills, pied and black stilts and pukekos with river frontage - perfect for a sunset canoe or kayak paddle to see the setting sun over the beach with the breaking waves.
Two hills with a variety of grazing aspects for winter and summer, gravel and hard track to the back of the property. The views from each of the hill tops along the beautiful Otago Coast would be hard to beat.
Tree plantings of pine and eucalypts complement the land with shading and self sufficiency in firewood. The front of the property has a substantial plantation of Tasmanian Blackwoods with the potential of a good return in 10-15 years time.
The 2 storey dwelling is mostly built in the 1980's, with older parts. It has been substantially insulated and updated with contemporary heating, ventilation, double glazing and led lighting.
Heating is by large heat pump & multi-fuel stove for heating.
The property enjoys the rarity of water supply by MAINS WATER.
There are numerous decks around the property and from the bedrooms with abundant tuis's and bell birds - just amazing! A large master bedroom on the first floor has 360 degree views of farmland and water, ranch sliders onto balconies and an en-suite. Spa pool included in the sale. A large amount of shedding and garaging as well as a newly built barn with two internal stables and two rooms which double as sleep-outs and extra bedrooms for guests.
The house is currently rented - owners living in the UK. Viewing can be arranged with tenants. Sold with vacant possession at 17th May 2014.
