Makuri Farmlet

Set in the heart of the friendly Makuri community, this bare land property offers the perfect rural lifestyle opportunity.
The block features a functional two-stand woolshed, along with excellent sheep and cattle handling facilities, and a handy lean-to for additional storage/calf rearing facility. Power is already on site, and the land is thoughtfully subdivided into six well-fenced paddocks - ideal for grazing to begin your farming venture.
Enjoy stunning rural views overlooking the picturesque Makuri Scenic Reserve, with the renowned Makuri River right on your doorstep - a favourite spot for trout fishing enthusiasts.
The location couldn't be better, with the local country club and primary school just a short stroll away, and a secondary school bus service available to Tararua College.
Whether you're looking to establish your own farmlet, build your dream home, or secure a slice of peaceful countryside, this Makuri property is one not to miss.
