If you've been searching fruitlessly for that elusive Eco-Friendly lifestyle property, your search is over. Nestled
on a sunny elevated site of just over 1.7 acres, this unique 4 bedroom property offers an uncommon mix of superb
family living, income options, and self sustainability only minutes drive from Richmond.
Originally an organic nursery, the last two years have seen the owners establish a thriving and growing organic
vegetable business here, with demand outstripping supply from local supermarkets, restaurants and markets. 4,000
strawberry plants are due for harvest in November which will provide a substantial Christmas income. This allows
the opportunity for a new owner to work off the land, earning an income and enjoying a lifestyle at the same
time.
Part of the "frost free mile" of Haycock Rd, the property enjoys a superb micro climate where an abundance of sub
tropicals such as tamarillos, babaco and avocado; peach, nectarine and apricot trees abound. Years of effort by the
current owners have gone into establishing a producing home orchard that also includes a large variety of citrus:
mandarins, oranges, lime, lemon and grapefruit as well as plums, nashi, apples, table grapes and an assortment of nut
and rare specimen trees.
One of only 3 homes of its' type in the Top of the South, the home itself is constructed from 'Light Earth'; a
natural sustainable product made from a mix of barley straw and Moutere Hills clay which has been engineered to strict
standards and creates an incredibly well insulated home that is warm in winter and cool in summer.
4 double bedrooms and large open plan living spaces filled with light provide ample accommodation where the current
owners have bought up 4 children. A large open plan kitchen with gas stove and council approved 'Lady Kitchener'
woodfire with cooker and wetback provide a great space to cook, relax and entertain.
You'll enjoy a private, sheltered position here out of the cool southerly amongst a veritable Garden of Eden and with
views over Richmond and directly to Mt Arthur, the location is surreal.
The owners have found their new home and are on a tight timeline to find new owners for this property.
They are in the process of finishing the home to gain code of compliance and will have this completed prior to a new
owner taking possession, meaning there will be no building work left to do on the home, just to sit back and enjoy it.
To be sold as a going concern including the business, plant, stock and buildings, or Price +GST (if any) if the
new owners wish not to carry on the business. View this stunning lifestyle opportunity today with Ben Cooper.
Deadline Sale, all offers presented on or before 6pm Monday 5th October.
17 years selling homes for a traditional real estate franchise throughout the Top of the South taught me many things. The most important of these is that Real Estate is not about property, it’s about people.
Treating people with respect, integrity and honesty and not like a transaction is the only way to achieve true success in business and in life.
Having sold more than 400 properties in my career, I got tired of generating profits for a corporate entity and decided something had to change.
Change Real Estate was born out of a desire to effect real change both in our industry and our community. 100% of our company’s profits are channelled back into our community through charitable organisations, fuelling positive change where it’s needed most.
I’m very proud of the unique agent collective model we’ve built from the ground up. We are bringing together established, successful agents who are seeking to take more control of their business while at the same time having a significant positive impact in their community.
We’d love to be a part of your real estate journey as we change real estate for good.
