BELFIELD FARM

Located in the sought-after Hakataramea Valley, Belfield Farm presents an impressive opportunity to secure a substantial, very well-maintained and efficient farming operation comprising approximately 770.86 hectares.

Running a proven sheep, beef and cropping operation, the property offers approximately 756 hectares of effective land, with a diverse mix of productive flat to rolling country and some steeper hill country. This includes approximately 60 hectares of river flats adjoining the Hakataramea River and a further 70 hectares of paddocks alongside Padkins Stream, with approximately 600 hectares identified as Land Use Capability Class 3.

One of Belfield Farm's standout features is the exceptional standard in which it has been maintained and farmed over the years. The property is exceptionally tidy, reflecting a high level of care, attention to detail and sound farming management. This is something consistently recognised by those familiar with the farm and is evident throughout the property.

The sheep operation has historically carried up to approximately 2,800 breeding ewes, 600 hoggets and 60 rams and killers, providing an indication of the scale and established nature of the farming system. Cattle trading also forms part of the operation, with the property having run up to approximately 200 head of cattle.

The property has also grown up to approximately 120 hectares of lucerne, alongside greenfeed, fodder crops and pasture rotations. This combination provides flexibility across the farming calendar and a range of feed production options.

Water is supplied through two separate schemes, with the Hakataramea Water Scheme providing the property's tank water allocation, totalling 16 units, while Padkins supplies the race water throughout the property. Natural springs and waterways provide additional water sources in other areas. The farm is currently operated as a dryland unit, with no existing irrigation infrastructure.

The farm improvements are a real feature, providing an extensive range of facilities to support the scale of the operation. These include multiple implement and hay sheds, grain storage, five 45-tonne silos, workshops and additional woolshed facilities.

A particular highlight is the substantial sheep-handling complex, featuring an approximately 298m2 internal shearing shed and approximately 782m2 of covered yards. The five-stand shearing facility is complemented by a kitchen, separate toilet and shower facilities, creating a practical and well-appointed working environment. The covered yards provide excellent space for handling and managing stock, with a Racewell Auto Draft sheep handling and weighing system adding further efficiency to the operation.

Accommodation is provided by two residences, including a substantial five-bedroom homestead of approximately 295m2, featuring two bathrooms, an office and established grounds with a tennis court. A separate three-bedroom cottage provides additional accommodation for staff or extended family.

Belfield Farm is also supported by a current NZFAP+ Farm Plan audited to Gold Star level and is a Silver Fern supplier farm.

Combining scale, established infrastructure, a proven farming system and versatile land use options, Belfield Farm represents an outstanding opportunity for farming families, established operators or those looking to secure a significant South Canterbury rural holding.

Flowing seamlessly from the living spaces is a generous entertaining deck overlooking the meadow, providing the perfect setting to relax, host family and friends, and enjoy the peaceful rural surroundings.

Adding further versatility to the property is a separate loft-style studio, ideal as a home office, guest accommodation, creative retreat or additional bedroom. A detached double garage features a renovated gym space, while the substantial double tractor shed and three additional implement sheds provide excellent storage for machinery, boats, vehicles and equipment. What truly sets this property apart is the landscape itself.

A private waterfall flows through the farm, creating a peaceful natural sanctuary, while natural swimming holes border the meadow directly in front of the home. Extensive native planting and environmental enhancement projects have transformed the waterways and wetlands into thriving ecosystems filled with birdlife and natural beauty. The result is a property that feels both established and evolving, where nature and lifestyle work hand in hand.

Beyond the homestead, the remaining three titles each offer their own unique character. From elevated sites showcasing breathtaking panoramic ocean views to peaceful rural settings surrounded by rolling countryside and extensive farm walks, every block presents an opportunity to create something extraordinary. Whether you're an Auckland family looking to swap traffic for space, a keen fisherman or diver wanting some of Northland's best coastal adventures on your doorstep, or a retired farmer seeking room for the next generation to build nearby while maintaining privacy and independence, this property offers a lifestyle rarely available in today's market.

Each title provides the freedom to create your own vision, whether that's building a dream home, establishing a family compound, or securing a slice of Helena Bay for the future. Water and power are to be installed by the new owners, providing flexibility to design and develop each site exactly as desired.

Further enhancing the appeal, the property offers multiple income-generating opportunities. It could be returned to grazing, or its existing earning potential through the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme could be expanded by planting and registering additional native or exotic forestry. The property already includes approximately 54.24 hectares of registered regenerating native bush, with an estimated further 73 hectares potentially suitable for ETS registration, subject to approvals and scheme requirements. While the current owners have prioritised lifestyle use, the combination of productive soils, favourable climate and reliable water supply also presents genuine opportunities for horticultural, forestry or agricultural development.

Come and experience the beautifully restored Webb family homestead, walk the land, explore the waterfall and swimming holes, and discover the incredible possibilities that await. Buy one. Buy several. Or secure the entire 158.789 hectares. The choice is yours.

'Gibraltar' - A landscape like no other

Deadline Sale 1pm Tue 8 Dec 2026 (unless sold prior)

125 hectares of history, beauty and possibility

Unfolding across an extraordinary landscape of sheltered flats, rolling pasture and more dramatic hill country, the property has a sense of character and permanence that is increasingly difficult to find.

Hundreds of mature oak trees are scattered throughout the property, creating magnificent established canopies and changing the character of the landscape with the seasons. Streams wind through the land, while impressive natural rock formations emerge from the hills, giving parts of the property an almost park-like quality.

Adding another layer is its history. An original stone wall, constructed more than a century ago when the farm was owned by Sir Heaton Rhodes, remains within the property today, a tangible connection to the land's past and one of the many details that make this holding so distinctive.

Today, the property is utilised for cattle grazing and has an irrigation consent, providing a productive element alongside its considerable recreational and lifestyle appeal. The land may also attract buyers interested in exploring future development opportunities (subject to council requirements and approvals).

But there is another side to this property.

Wild fallow deer roam the land, with pheasants and quail also making their home here. Combined with the streams, mature trees, rocky outcrops and contrasting terrain, it creates an environment that feels wonderfully removed from everyday life.

A modest existing dwelling, and a large lockable shed with four roller doors, provides an immediate base from which to enjoy the property. Live simply, improve what is already here, or take time to explore the land and identify the perfect position for something truly special.

And that may ultimately be the property's greatest attraction.

It offers the opportunity to create an exceptional private country estate, with the landscape already established around you.

The mature trees have taken generations to grow. A stone wall carries more than a century of history. The streams, rock formations and hills have been shaped over far longer.

The next chapter belongs to its new owner.
