Description

You will know you have arrived when you own property imbedded in the world famous Wharekauhau Estate. This 3997 square metre ( near an acre ) freehold bare land property is one of a small number of sites surrounded by the 5000 acre sheep station. An elevated setting set back from the cliff edge has commanding views over Palliser Bay to the Pacific, distant mountain ranges and surrounded by rolling green hills on this working farm. You can enjoy all the benefits of the Wharekauhau resort for dining, indoor swimming pool, gymnasium etc. Views and the coast are forever changing here from the peaceful lap of emerald waves to the roaring surf tearing at the black sands at Ocean Beach and from a seaside brightness to a therapeutic sea mist that swathes both water and land. Build your dream here and become part of the history of this land where you can imagine back to the 1840's where the wool was rowed out through the breakers to the ships waiting out in the bay. There are some protective covenants on the title to preserve the character of the sheep station and the country estate e.g building height restrictions to ensure house forms do not visually intrude, no nuisance pets (dogs are a concern on a farm ) no visible clotheslines etc. Just 12 minutes by helicopter from downtown Wellington or the drive over the Rimutaka ranges will take some 90 minutes. This property can be that retreat you've dreamed of to recharge your batteries or a good base for fishing, diving, walks, visit the Martinborough vineyards and numerous other activities in the area. Selling at valuation.
