  Description

  Hi there, we have approximately 53ha between two properties. The main homestead is on 4ha and the remaining 49 ha is a small sheep and cattle farm. We are a middle aged couple with three adult children (all have moved on and embarking on their own careers) and two lovely dogs. You will have your own room, bathroom and toilet upstairs at the homestead. We have a large open plan kitchen/dining/lounge but if you would prefer your own space there is a separate lounge. We have a reasonably large garden and we are within 10minutes of the nearest town (Richmond) and also the very quaint little Mapua township. We are close to beaches and a 40 minute drive to the beautiful Abel Tasman National Park, 25 minutes drive to Nelson. From time to time we need help at our holiday home in Golden Bay with garden maintenance, deck cleaning etc.
