492 Cracroft Maronan Road, Lismore, Ashburton, Canterbury

Rarely do we have the privilege to market such a premium property in the heart of rural Mid Canterbury. The highly productive Barnscroft offers approximately 127 hectares suitable for dairy support and growing large volumes of feed and supplements. Crops currently rotate with fodder beet, kale and new pasture mix in the quality Lismore soils.

Efficiency is the order of the day here. The property utilises the Mayfield Hinds Valetta irrigation scheme water, with a substantial storage pond and two pivot irrigators. Laneways, ease of stock movement, and access to paddocks show that the farm layout works smoothly.

The stunning home, built in 2015, has a breathtaking vista, with views across the pond, over the farm and to the Southern Alps. The four-bedroom home (plus separate office) is built in an elevated position to capture the sun while providing a sheltered outdoor area – ideal for sharing a yarn or two with family and friends.

The home is built to a high standard with modern fixtures. As you would expect from a quality build, there is open-plan living with a media room. The large, sleek kitchen is set up with a butler's pantry and stacking doors out to the patio. The master bedroom has an ensuite and walk-behind wardrobe.

To complete the package, there's a double internal garage, a separate shed with storage, and self-contained unit for family or overflow of guests.

Approximately 26 kilometres from the rural hub of Ashburton, this property is ideally situated for those wanting to be a part of the thriving and active community while far enough away from the hustle and bustle of town.

Be sure to grab hold of this opportunity to expand your business, start a new venture or invest in your farming future.
