Jeffries Road has always been a popular location, tucked away at the head of a prestigious farming area but still within an easy commute to central Richmond. Totally private and secluded and with views over grazing land and out to the Tasman Bay.

What a location and with a very smart three-bedroom home, heated by a log burner and facing north to capture the days sun. In addition to the home, a double garage and a separate double garage and serviced studio.

Plenty of land to graze a few sheep, fatten a couple of cattle or lease out to an adjoining landowner.

This is a very desirable home and location, contact us now for an appointment to view.
