After more than 30 years of ownership, the vendors are now offering this unique property to the market - an exceptional chance to secure scale, income, lifestyle and views.
A combined 153.1 hectares (forest) plus 6.4 hectares (lifestyle block) - available together or as separate titles - presents a rare opportunity to secure a substantial landholding within 15 minutes' drive of Tai Tapu township and 35 minutes into central Christchurch City.
The 153.128 hectare (more or less) forestry block extends from Gebbies Valley to McQueens Valley and comprises approximately 146.71 hectares of post 1989 forest, under the stock change method, registered in the Emission Trading Scheme (ETS). The forest currently generates around 4,000 carbon units per annum, offering a significant income stream at current carbon pricing. The block has excellent access from both Gebbies Valley and McQueens Valley Roads, and with its well-maintained forestry tracks, lends itself to a range of recreational uses. A large shed positioned near the Millers Road entrance provides superb storage and operational convenience.
The adjoining 6.448 hectare (more or less) lifestyle block showcases sweeping valley views. With land use consent already in place for a residential dwelling, this site offers an exceptional platform to design and build your dream home in a private rural setting.
