Self-sufficient Lifestyle

Self-sufficient Lifestyle. Home based business or weekend retreat.

In the hills of Upokongaro not far from Wanganui, lies a unique property, offering the facilities and a lifestyle many people can only dream of.

Here is your chance to own 24ha of land, be your own boss, and ditch your power bill. Maybe all for less than the cost of a hectare on the edge of town?

For families, there is a split level four bedroom homestead with log burner sitting among native bush, birdlife and easy care gardens. Around the home hang hammocks, swings, and there are huts the children love to camp in, a pond and sandpit.

For those with green fingers there is a large vegetable garden and a hothouse that seems bursting with vegetables and fruit. There is also a well-established orchard with a variety of fruit trees, and a new sleepout under construction.

There is a large workshop with approximately 120sqm of concrete pad. With a high roof, separate storage area for your tools, and a fully insulated office, what couldnt you do or store in there?

The current owners use this area to build their Supasheds on.

For animal or horse lovers, there is a stable and tack room.

A round pen with viewing platform and bucking chute that local lads use to practise bull riding for sports days. They also mother on calves and milk the house cow in there. Adjoining this is a stout loading ramp and tall yards currently used for rescuing and training Kaimanawas, and other wild horses.

The land is mostly well tracked hill country, with some areas already planted, it could be worth considering planting more for forestry or carbon credits? It is currently used for grazing, riding the horses, and they rear about 80 calves each spring.

There are dog kennels used for breeding German Shepherds which could be negotiated in the sale, and they also use the various paddocks for training working dogs.

So, if you are an active family, a horse rider or trainer, dog breeder, hunter, calf rearer, horticulturalist, gardener, mountain biker, motorcross rider, off roader, artist or tradesperson, or just an adventurous person, imagine what you could do here, and give me a call.
