About this property

Warm, sunny farmhouse, private and peaceful with views. Dog and horse friendly!

Come and enjoy a stay in the country within easy commute to town. This 4 bedroom farmhouse sits on a hill, with views of the surrounding hills and countryside overlooking 2 rivers. The house attracts the sun and is warm with double glazing and a large wood burner. Open plan kitchen, dining, living and a large deck and BBQ for outside entertaining. Four bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, second shower, toilet and mudroom out the back making it a very practical space.
Give your family, friends and animals a relaxing holiday in a warm house with a view or go all out and bring the animals too and enjoy exploring our 560Ha farm with farm tracks, rivers, native bush, limestone country with crazy rocky outcrops and cliffs or do some cross country jumping with your horse at the Eventing SCNO Training Ground on our Riverbed 2 paddocks ride from the stables! We have 2 dog kennels onsite, laned access to several horse paddocks, truck and float parking and 2 stables with a wash bay, feed and tack room.

Best small group accommodation ever.
We were exceptionally fortunate to have found this amazing accommodation. The location is fantastic and allowed for easy transport times to Timaru and our racing locations for the day. The house itself has a wonderful, elevated view over the valley and was very well appointed. Clean and well managed. The owner was fantastic and went above and beyond to make our stay as good as possible. We will defiantly be recommending this location to friends and family.
