It’s unique. Serene. Secluded. Sometimes, even harsh. It’s nature, untouched.

A special place that could leave you thinking you’re the only person in the world, that you’re living on a different planet, or even, in a movie.

It’s Lord of the Rings without the drama – just 25 kilometres from Alexandra, 113 from Queenstown, 165 from Dunedin.

Three pristine parcels of land, ranging from 15 to 28 hectares, with road and river access, power and water to the boundary, and council approved building platforms, are now on the market.

The northern boundary of this stunning Shingle Creek development is the mighty Mata-Au – the fast-flowing turquoise coloured Clutha River. Those building sites sit above the terraces on the southern boundary, with 360-degree views of the Old Man and Knobby Ranges.

The slightly more adventurous might want to explore the possibility of building on the more isolated terraces – in amongst the unique flora and fauna, native grasses, thyme, rocky outcrops and jagged edges - with views of the river.

Either way, you’ll be able to enjoy everything the Clutha has to offer – gold panning and mining, swimming, fishing, picnicking, boating, hiking, and biking. The Clutha Gold Trail is about to be etched into the land. You don’t have to be active, of course. If you ever just wanted to get away from it all – see no one and do nothing – you’d struggle to find a better spot.

Whether you’re wanting a unique home, or holiday, or tourism opportunity – this is well worth a look.

Farmland | Home | Sheds | Hectares

Escape to the serenity of true country living at 1300 Pongakawa Bush Road, a genuine rural farmland where natural beauty, and multiple streams of farm income come together in one exceptional package. Set on 50.647 hectares (more or less) of mostly flat to gently rolling land, with just a touch of steeper contour, this is a property designed for real farming versatility. Whether you're seeking a reliable support block, a productive finishing unit, or a lifestyle farm that not only feels rural but earns its keep, this land is ready to work for you.

Once an ex-forestry block, the property has been thoughtfully developed into a picturesque and productive grazing farm, most of the hard work already done. It currently performs as a genuine income-generating rural operation: grazing capacity for around 100 head of cattle, 100 laying hens providing daily fresh eggs, and established Gum trees offering renewable firewood income or self-sufficiency. This is a farm that's as practical and profitable as it is peaceful and scenic.

Farm Infrastructure You'll Appreciate:

• Four-bay shed

A modern three-bedroom Keith Hay home sits proudly among lovingly tended country gardens, offering warm, comfortable living with sweeping rural views across your own productive land. Adding even more flexibility is an additional unconsented one-bedroom dwelling, ideal for guests, workers, storage, or extra space as needed.

This is the kind of rural property that appeals to many: larger farming operations needing finishing land, retiring farmers wanting room to breathe, or lifestyle buyers who dream of a manageable farmlet with real income potential.

Conveniently located, you're just 30 minutes from Te Puke, within easy reach of Te Puke High School, and only 15 minutes from Pongakawa School, a perfect balance of peaceful rural seclusion and everyday convenience.

The property is being sold plus GST (if any).
