List # 10158 Coromandel Ranges/South/ ($1,120.000) Thames/Paeroa, New Zealand Coromandel Ranges - North Island This property would suit someone looking for a safe and peaceful haven, while also wishing to preserve a stunningly beautiful valley that has a rich native ecology. Located in New Zealand; a developed country which enjoys unrivalled social, economic and political stability, this 400 acres of private land consisting of approximately 75% native forest and 25% farm land is surrounded by thousands of acres of national forest Park on three sides, yet easily accessible to main centres. (less than 15 minutes by car to the nearest town). The current owners are an ecologically based Land Trust purchasing the property with the intention of establishing a sustainable farm and undertaking conservation work and environmental education. The owners wish to either sell outright, or find an investment partner that shares the same environmental values and perhaps wishes to dwell at least some of the time in this enchanted valley. As well as seeking the best cash offer our preference would be to find a purchaser that recognizes the unique environmental values of this land and will take measures to preserve the ecology of the place. This land has the capacity to support several households living and working on the land preserving the ecological balance and running the farm as a small sustainable farm, producing an abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables. This property was originally searched for and selected because of its potential to offer safety and security while also being able to easily supply the basics of life such as clean air and abundant unpolluted water. The entire watershed for the valley is in protected native forest so the water quality is pristine with ample potential for domestic hydro power generation, giving this property high potential for self sufficiency, while enjoying a temperate climate, sunny aspect and good quality soil. The land has been farmed organically for 5 years. There is an existing old 5 bedroom farm house and farm buildings as well as a workers cabin. There are numerous other building sites offering all day sun and spectacular forest and rolling pasture views. There are established vegetable gardens, orchards and worm farms (for the production of organic fertiliser). Currently the farm earns income grazing neighbouring farmer’s calves. Several cottage industry initiatives have been researched and promise a reasonable income that could support those who live and work on the property. There is huge potential for eco-tourist ventures. We run several horses on the property with potential for a horse trekking venture. There are pens and an arena for training of horses. This property is superior to others listed with much higher asking prices. If you are looking for safety and security, as well a beautiful and peaceful environment with numerous business potentials, while not being isolated from the modern world – it simply does not get better than this. Genuine enquiries are welcome and more information will be furnished.
