Map | Street view | Nearby | Property Description: | Waikora is a delightful 40 ha farm, nestled under the foothills of the Waihaorunga district and 35 kms from the small town of Waimate. The main home is the original "Waikora Station" homestead and parts of it date back to the 1860's. This home is full of character and very spacious, with 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, country style kitchen, 4 open fires and 2 log burners. The main lounge is large and is an entertainers dream and opens up onto a large sunny patio and courtyard. The garden is beautifully established with mature trees, established borders and sweeping lawn areas.
The property is well appointed with sheds, including two three bay sheds, garaging, workshop area and granary and fully self sufficient with cattle and sheep yards. There is also a tack shed and single bale dairy shed for the house cow. A large vegetable garden and some mature fruit trees make self-sufficiency an option.
The farm has an excellent range of contour from flat to easy rolling, with a couple of steeper backface paddocks. It has been well laid out and divided into 11 larger paddocks with some smaller holding paddocks adjoining the yards.
Water is plentiful and comes from a deep bore across the road and for which there is an easement in place. This produces around 2 litres a second and is pumped to 25,000 litre tank and the gravity feeds to the house and farm.
There are some newly established pine tree shelter belts planted as well as 2 established woodlots for winter fire wood.
Both junior and senior school buses service the area and pick up is 3 kms from the house. This is a well balanced productive small farm in a delightful rural setting, ideal for persons seeking all the benefits of a rural lifestyle. |
