LITTLE GRANITY

Offered for the first time in over 40 years, Little Granity is a special hideaway nestled in against the Kahurangi National Park and beside the Kaituna River. I know this hand hewn two bedroom cottage and 26 hectare bush block will prove irresistible to conservation conscious people, so please make sure you register your interest immediately to avoid disappointment.

Located 15 minutes drive from the coastal settlement of Collingwood, gateway to Farewell Spit and the Heaphy Track, this property is tucked in between the start of the Kaituna Track and a neighbour growing manuka and horopito on a small commercial scale. Honestly, this is a location as sweet as manuka honey, no road noise, no near neighbours, no flushing toilet...

Apart from having mains power connected these days, the cottage is pretty much unchanged since the owner built it back in the day when you could use timber from the bush... Reminiscent of a back country hut, this character home offers basic functionality without any airs and graces whatsoever - take me or leave me she says! Some of the outbuildings, like stables and a pigsty have been claimed back by mother nature, it's the same with the pony paddocks....they are in there somewhere! There are still good usable sheds, a workshop with a forge, a double bay shed and carport.

Evoking thoughts of hermitage, refuge, retreat, and repose, this tranquil spot is perfect for anyone who would like to hide away and do their own thing. Looking out of the kitchen window to the misty hillside, mighty rata and towering kahikatea stand sentinel above the canopy of the younger native trees. This 26ha bush block was last logged in 1932, and mother nature is doing a fine job of recovering. Would you like to be the new caretaker?

Offered for closed Tender, with offers only considered on Thursday 12th November 2020, not selling prior.
