One of the most picturesque livestock farms in the South Island – with landscape for hosting a plethora of recreational activities and stunning views in conjunction with a sheep and beef grazing operation – has been placed on the market for sale.
The Larches – located at the entrance to the Cardrona Valley some seven kilometres south-west of Wanaka in Central Otago – is a 976-hectare farm spread over a mix of irrigated Cardrona River flats, along with lower north/north-west facing terraces and rocky outcrop hills climbing up to the skyline of the Pisa Range.
Bayleys Wanaka sales manager Mat Andrews said The Larches offered a magnificent opportunity for a multitude of future uses, bringing an extremely rare offering to the market in the Wanaka/Queenstown Lakes region. “As a productive block, The Larches is easily run as a sole operation with the support of various contractors on an ‘as-required’ basis.” Farm infrastructure across the property includes a woolshed with covered sheep yards, cattle yards, a large implement shed with four double bays and electric doors, a lockable chemical storage shed, and a hay barn.
