State Highway 63, Wairau Valley, Marlborough

One of the most stunning sites we have seen in recent years, this recently harvested forest block is your ideal platform to get away from it all while still having access to a main highway. Shingly Creek is on the outskirts of the Nelson Lakes National Park and Richmond Ranges. There are options here, replant or let re-grow naturally and nestle up in a small cabin on-site to start your weekend dream. This 19.89 ha block is located at Shingly Creek in the Wairau Valley district of Marlborough, an ideal 'Get away from it all!' parcel of land and a gateway for your tramping, skiing, or hunting and fishing needs, perhaps? Or maybe just your ideal retreat space. There is excellent access to the property, which includes a well-formed track to the huge forestry skid site which would be ideal for building a shed.
The recently harvested Douglas Fir has gone from the block, and now the almost blank canvas offers up several options: - there is availability for replanting in 2024. The skid site offers amazing views to the north and south-west exposing Mt. Richmond and the Richmond Ranges, as well as a stretch of the Wairau River north of 'The Wash' bridge.
To get you started there is already a small, unconsented hut on site that provides for a perfect start to your weekend adventures. For the existing hut, rainwater collection is from several creeks on the property and although there is no power to the site lines are very close. A solar unit is installed at the hut. The site has good mobile reception from a local cell site. There are two areas where there are unharvested trees, about 1.8 ha of mature trees that could provide future income and provide aesthetic value to the property.

Inspection is strictly by appointment with sole agents Joe Blakiston and Steve Crockett.
