Prime 24.6ha - subdivide or build

Privately positioned at the end of a no-exit road and overlooking the picturesque Dartmoor Valley, this unique 24.6ha (approx.) bare land holding offers the very best of Hawke’s Bay rural living. Nestled between farmland within a supportive and friendly rural community, the property enjoys a peaceful setting while being just over 20 minutes from both Taradale and Hastings, and approximately 30 minutes from Hawke’s Bay Airport.

A subdivision scheme plan and Resource Consent are already in place, giving the fortunate new owner the option to create two lifestyle sections of approximately 1.4ha each, while retaining a substantial 21.8ha block. This presents excellent opportunities - whether to sell, landbank, or assist the next generation onto the property ladder.

The land features a mix of flat to medium contour and offers multiple elevated building platform options with expansive rural views and a sunny aspect. Large flat areas provide versatility for grazing stock, horses, or cropping, and the property benefits from stock water, nearby power, and access via a well-formed shingle road.

Bare land parcels of this scale, location and versatility, especially with subdivision consent already in place, are increasingly rare. This is an outstanding blank canvas to develop the perfect rural lifestyle within easy commuting distance and close to a well-regarded primary school.

Seldomly Available North Taieri Excellence

We proudly present this special North Taieri lifestyle & land package on behalf of the Stevenson family, who following many years of faithful ownership, have decided the time has come to hand over the reins. The unique blend of park-like setting, bespoke family home and farm level capability distinguishes the property and presents a rare opportunity for the discerning buyer seeking this seldomly available quality and location.

Set on 16.5040 hectares, the property lends itself well to a range of equine and agricultural uses with its beautifully laid out network of flat paddocks, sheltered by manicured hedge rows and the numerous established mature trees that the property is well known locally for.

Privately positioned, the homestead, which was built for the Stevenson family, sits amongst a true botanical work of love, with the surrounding grounds created and nurtured to an impeccable standard over much of the previous 40 years, having been a popular venue for many weddings and garden tours, and winning the ODT garden competition on more than one occasion. The distinctive residence was designed by Dunedin architect Ken Warburton, resulting in an innovative, forward-thinking design for this period, with natural materials evident in its build, creating a welcoming home with presence and class, that will continue to be appreciated for many years to come.

Supporting buildings and facilities are to the same high standard and include the 'carriage shed' with workshop and horse loose-box, a three-stand woolshed with covered yards, and the tractor shed, also with loose-boxes attached. Further facilities include a circular horse training area located nearby to the horse paddocks and carriage shed, as well as separate cattle yards.

This much-loved property is one of those genuine quality opportunities that don't come to market often, in what is a tightly held location nearby to Mosgiel and Dunedin City.

Prime landholding in growth corridor

Positioned on the fringe of one of New Zealand’s most dynamic and fast‑advancing development corridors, this exceptional landholding of 30.25ha (more or less) in two titles presents a rare large‑scale opportunity in a location set to transform. With planning underway for a major new town centre, Drury is rapidly emerging as a premier destination for business, investment, and high‑growth development.

The property is well set up to support ongoing farming income or business operations while future development plans are explored. Bore water services the land, and a fully fenced natural watercourse enhances both functionality and environmental appeal.

Astute investors will immediately recognize the scarcity and significance of land parcels of this size, zoning, and strategic positioning. Offering dual access via Kern Road and prominent frontage along Runciman Road, the property is ideally suited to land bankers, contractors, owner‑occupiers, or those seeking a future‑proofed business base.

Major government investment into local infrastructure—combined with substantial private sector projects such as Drury South Industrial Park, Kiwi Property’s planned shopping precinct, and Fisher & Paykel’s proposed research and development campus - continues to elevate the area’s profile. Large blocks of this calibre are becoming increasingly difficult to secure as demand intensifies.

Highly sought‑after for its blend of rural lifestyle and urban accessibility, this evergreen location caters to those seeking country living with or without scale. Proximity to the motorway network further strengthens its appeal for commuters and commercial users alike.

A smart acquisition today positions you to benefit from the undeniable future gains of this key growth destination.

The vendor is GST registered. Purchase price is plus GST (if any).

Enviable lifestyle with income potential

This is an idyllic home and location for those seeking a peaceful and productive lifestyle.

Situated on 13.9 hectares (approximately) in the heart of North Canterbury's picturesque wine country, here's your opportunity to live and work in one of New Zealand's most sought-after locations. The stunning Waipara River Estate vineyard, paired with boutique accommodation, provides a unique business model with dual revenue streams from both the hospitality and viticulture sectors. If room for family and friends is high on your wishlist, the homestead would be perfect for multi-generational living with various living/bedroom options.

The property includes a well-established 3.2-hectare (approximately) vineyard, currently managed by external contractors, allowing the owner to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and harvest the rewards of someone else's expertise. The original farmhouse has been superbly renovated and extended into a boutique accommodation business, featuring four self-contained suites (studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom), with nightly rates ranging from $350-$375. This is a walk-in, walk-out model that allows for immediate operation if required.

The owner's accommodation is separate from the well-appointed guest suites, which have their own kitchenettes, offering privacy while still enjoying breathtaking vistas that can be appreciated from the spa pool - perfect for relaxing with a glass of your own award-winning wine. With its tranquil setting, the property offers the possibility for expansion into other ventures, such as hosting weddings, wellness retreats, or events. With potential for subdivision, the options increase.

The property's extensive chattels list adds incredible value, including everything in the guest suites, farm equipment and machinery and approximately $100,000 of bottled wine. This immaculate home has been modernised and extended beautifully, including double glazing, and effortlessly flows into the surrounding mature gardens, perfect for entertaining on long summer evenings around the pizza oven or enjoying a swim in the heated, self-cleaning pool with changing rooms.

Conveniently located just a short commute to Christchurch CBD and the Christchurch International Airport - gateway to the South Island - and 10 minutes (approximately) from the charming township of Amberley, this property offers the perfect balance of peaceful country living with easy access to urban amenities.

The vineyard itself is a historic treasure, being the first planted in the Waipara region in 1981, and is home to some of the oldest vines in the area. The estate produces premium, award-winning wines under the Waipara River Estate label, including Pinot Noir, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Chardonnay. The vineyard is fully irrigated, and the property is well-equipped with modern infrastructure, including lockable roller-door sheds for equipment storage, horse stables, a tack room, a four-bay open-fronted barn, and a double-insulated, Customs-licensed wine store.

The owners have been extremely passionate about this amazing property over several years. Now's your time to seize this opportunity to own your piece of paradise and create your personalised haven in this most coveted of locations. This is an outstanding lifestyle and business opportunity with significant potential for growth in a region renowned for its wines and natural beauty.
