This is a stunning bareland block with some of the best building sites that are available in the area. Accessed by a right of way adjoining the Rapu Stream, the access track climbs up to present some amazing views to the north across the Hawarden Flats to the foothills. The property features some spectacular limestone outcrops.

This block has a plan in place to subdivide into three blocks; this still remains an option for the purchaser.

The soils are very suitable for viticulture and the block has a northerly aspect.

The property has two main soil types:

1) Waikari Soils - this is the predominant soil type and has the limestone characteristics sought by the viticultural industry.

2) Waipara soils these are mainly silt loams from greywacke base origin with some sandstone.

Water is provided by separate tank on the county water scheme. Phone and power are available at the gate. Property is 70km from Christchurch, 50kms to Hanmer and close to schools at Waikari or Hawarden.
