  Description

  Hi Brent here. I live alone on our family farm on DUrville island in the Marlborough Sounds .We farm Angus cattle and in season have bee hives here. Is very isolated with the nearest neighbours about 3km away. I am 53 years young a have recently had a stroke and could do with a bit of a hand with a bit of housework, grounds upkeep etc . I only want 1 woofer at a time. Is a very scenic part of NZ . Comfortable accommodation with all the mod cons including Starlink internet connection with unlimited data.
  1000 plus acres to explore. Great outdoor opportunities. Fishing 🎣 , diving and walking etc. no shops anywhere near.

  Beautiful scenery in an isolated part of NZ. Will suit those that like the outdoors and don’t mind isolation. Basically no shops close. Learn some local history. My family has been on this property for around 200 years and I am part Maori

  What else ...

  Time off can be spent in the outdoors. Fishing diving hunting and walks. After having a stroke I am stood down from driving for 3 months. But the nearest towns and shops are about a half a day away including a boat ride. All weather dependent..So really the outdoors are bout it. The odd bay ride upto French Pass to collect the mail every couple of weeks
